CGiii Comment

Sheen progressed to do bigger and better things - no doubt, with a fatherly hand. And then, succumbed to drugs and alcohol.

Caulfield ended up in a British soap - he should consider himself lucky that he even got that job - a pretty face does not necessarily mean talent.

The blame for this catastrophe is not entirely the fault of the the acting - the writing is laughable.

The direction shows no potential for improvement - Spheeris (still) has a career, there's nothing stranger than Hollywood.
