10/10. The best horror show ever made. Talent like Kathy Ireland, Shelley Hack, Mariel Hemingway, Tim Curry, Christopher Reeve, David Warner appearing on the show tells a lot about it. John Kassir as the Crypt Keeper was brilliant as his performance was always top notch. If anything, most episodes showed the ability how to write horror properly, in a good way be it flat out scary like And All Through The House to black comedy like The Assassin. I would not only call this the best horror show ever made, but would call it one of the best shows of all time for any list.

Crypt Keeper: Heads, I win. Tails, you ooze.
Trivia: The Crypt Keeper's eyes are actually taken from another famous animatronic monster... Chucky the killer doll! The Crypt Keeper was made by the same special effects wizards that created Chucky, and they decided to reuse some of the eyes they made for Chucky when they created the Crypt Keeper puppets, since they fit the design. (Albeit they were ever-so-slightly repainted to look a bit more "rotted").
The Switch - S2-E2
Question: In this episode, Carlton is told by Linda that he's too old for her so he decides to undergo surgery to become younger. Eventually, he looks just like Hans. At the end of the episode, when Carlton visits Linda, he sees that she's now with Hans, who looks exactly like him. If Carlton was too old for Linda, then why was she still with Hans, since he now has Carlton's body and therefore his old age? Since Carlton was too old for her, that would mean that now Hans is too old for her too.
Answer: It's just the show's typical ironic ending. It turns out Linda was more interested in money than looks, and the surgery and loss of his fortune were unnecessary.
