Featured review
Obviously the pilot!
You can tell this episode is different from the others. First of all, the boys call their father "Pa." Though this somehow worked for Andy Griffith, I cringe at it in this show...I'm glad they dropped that.
We also see the family dog which isn't seen in very many episodes. Pete is also present. Right off, we're shown that Porter Ricks is going to be very protective of his children.
A couple things that rubbed me the wrong way:
First of all, the boys are both very excited they get to go swimming. Considering the fact they love on the bay, I'm surprised at how serious they were. Second of all, flipper is responsible for the scientist's getting hurt - but later he's deemed the hero for saving his life. That's a bit contrary to my way of thinking. Also, Porter doesn't put much faith in Flipper. It's not until the end that he learns Flipper is indeed something special.
