In 1970, I found the site of Julia knocked out, abducted, and carried off by a covey of zombies to be absolutely horrifying. As I recall it, it was the Friday cliffhanger, which meant I spent an entire f-ing weekend biting my nails wondering whether she was going to survive, or get turned into zombie-bait by the nefarious Jeb (who I always thought of as "the evil hippie").
Now, of course, whenever this episode airs, I laugh my head off. How cynical we become.
And of course, I now know the meaning of true eee-vil since every time the camera shows a close-up of lovely and talented Chris Pennock as Jeb, I see the jowls and ears of a drooling hog superimposed over his features.
Took the Mysterious Benefactor to teach me some hard lessons about Life, you see.
