Batman Beyond 3.07

The Call - Part One

Batman is invited to join the Justice League by Superman after Micron, another member of the League, is injured while trying to stop a runaway train. The other members of the Justice League aren't very welcoming, in large part because Superman didn't consult with them before extending the invitation to Terry. Superman confides in Terry that he thinks there is a traitor on the team. He hopes that Terry can figure out who it is.

Terry does his best but two members of the team, Aquagirl and Warhawk, are badly injured in separate incidents. Terry and Bruce examine the footage of the explosion that injured Warhawk and find that Superman was the one who triggered the detonation.

The episode ends with Bruce giving Terry a piece of kryptonite to help him deal with Superman.

This was fun and funny but it also feels like they are building towards something more. It's good but not great.

The Phil Silvers Show 4.11

Bilko Presents the McGuire Sisters

Bilko hires some acts with famous names knowing full well that they aren't who their names imply them to be. The McGuire Sisters, one of the acts, turns out to be the real deal. He almost kicks them out when they aren't exactly what he expected them to be.

Thoughts

Mickey Rooney makes a brief appearance at the end of the episode.

This was okay. The McGuire Sisters are are in most of this episode. I've seen worse on this show but I'm not a fan of episodes that revolve around real celebrities playing themselves.
