In the suburbs nothing usually changes, but one night a new set of neighbors moves in and things do change. Especially odd because they come in the middle of the night and they didn’t bring a moving truck. They didn’t even bring a car, in fact.

As it turns out, they are from 400 years or so in the future and they’ve come to escape what they see as a sterile society. What isn’t explained is how they managed to have their child the “natural” way without being detected. You’d think someone would notice that. It’s also odd that a fragile time-travel device made of what appears to be glass can easily be put back together by a young child so that it works again. Oh well. It’s not a bad tale, just lacking in some details.

Keep an eye out for Adam Ant as neighbor Ted Hellenbeck and Marcia Strassman of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids as the mom.

A young woman visits a doctor for help understanding what she is going through – her soon-to-be husband (Griffin Dunne of Johnny Dangerously) is having doubts about their wedding (he has, in fact, dumped her) and she just doesn’t understand. It is really a diffcult episode to understand as the doctor and the nurse keep cropping up in strange places throughout.

But eventually it gets makes sense as you find out that they have been making a movie about the woman’s troubles and showing it in the Secret Cinema. The only problem is that she becomes a large star from it, and they don’t, and in the end she is the one who becomes famous and they get trash dumped on them from a garbage truck. Rather odd, really. Not that they don’t deserve it. It just didn’t really make a lot of sense.

A young man (Jon Cryer of Two and a Half Men) in college just can’t get a date. He has a book, but none of the women want to give him the time of day. Some just want to kill him. Literally. All except the daughter of the house mother, and he doesn’t think dating her would be a good idea.

One day in chemistry class, he spills some liquids on a magazine and suddenly a dog appears out of nowhere. He then realizes that the liquids he spilled made the dog come alive out of the pages of the magazine, so he takes them back to his room and frantically tries to bring women to life from the pictures he has in his room. Unfortunately he can’t seem to get the formula just right. He uses too much, then too little.

When he does get it right, he’s interrupted by the pizza guy, who blocks him in the closet and steals the woman – but he doesn’t realize it and ends up kissing the daughter he was trying to avoid. It all works out in the end. Except the remaining drops of liquid start dripping on and old Fangoria magazine, which is where the episode ends.
