It's shocking how boring and useless this episode is. They had months and months to prepare the first show of season two, and they totally blew it! You would think the first episode would be a blockbuster, but this is just a snoozer.

First, who is Margaret Armen? She wrote this one, and I don't remember seeing her name in season one. The writing here doesn't advance the storyline of being trapped in another dimension. It's just kind of a mundane day in the lives of everybody until Dopey gets trapped in the tar pit. There's no thought-provoking metaphysical concepts here, just a bunch of Pakuni-speak. It's really boring.

Second, the lighting in the opening scene in front of the cave is totally inappropriate. It doesn't look like outside at all. I thought they were INSIDE the cave. It looks like soap opera lighting - it's horrible and amateurish. Did Gordon Wiles direct episodes from season one? I don't ever remember lighting this bad from season one.

Third,it's BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If this is the best they can do for a season opener, I don't have much hope for the rest of season 2.

This was the season opener for season 2? Never been a fan of Dopey but then to bring Spot into the mix? Terrible, just terrible. The sounds that Spot made in the Tar Pit when he got stuck were like fingernails on a chalkboard.

I had a hard time sitting through 24 minutes of this. I want my 24 minutes back.

And Dopey's continuous bark or whatever you call it was on top of Spot's noises enough for me.

The one redeeming value of this episode was when Cha-Ka went to get the older Brontosaurus to rescue Dopey. That was touching.

Will seemed real concerned for Dopey and that was out of character for him. He never gave two hoots before.

I give this episode No Stars. If that's possible.
