…with the old Thumb-Buster of Terror. This is the one where a sleazy male has illicit sex with one or more women and pays a horrible price. It’s time to go to the tape and get the facts about one particularly bad Videodate.

So, DID you ever get around to seeing Return To Eden??

Is that what it’s about?! I’ll have to dig that out.

Oh, hell, yeah; I buy, and I buy, and I buy…..
Return To Eden has a dowdy heiress being married for her money and apparently murdered – she gets her face bitten off by a crocodile – and then coming back surgically enhanced to take revenge. It was one of the highlights of my teen years, but at this distance I couldn’t say whether it was truly Jabootu-worthy.

Well, that’s the issue, and I have a nasty suspicion the answer is yes – I think I remember it being treated rather like our version of Dynasty – so it’s probably not as funny as if it were all done with a straight face. (Although it may nevertheless be awful.)

Oh sweet YouTube comes through again, here are some Return to Eden clips. Wow. This plays like a pitch perfect parody of prime time soaps but I do think they’re being dead serious about it, which makes it Art.

I dunno…. I still think it was intentional. Maybe they just did it better than I’m remembering.
