I remember watching the original pilot in 1987 and thinking it was wonderful. Twenty-two years later, I actually found it slow-moving and the main characters, Hope and Michael, without any real depth. I did enjoy the characters Melissa, Michael's awkward and lovable cousin, the photographer and Gary, Michael's best friend, a college professor, a bit of a playboy and Melissa's ex-boyfriend.

This VHS contained only two episodes but they were very good. The first "The Video Tape" had Alex having to contend with career day at the chemical plant and having to keep her secret powers truly secret. The second episode was "The Road Trip" and had Alex and her dad (a scientific genuis) spending some quality time together on a road trip and tackling some problems that they encounter; very sweet and endearing.
Alex is a character that younger children, teenagers and adults can all respect and admire. It was contemporary for its time (the 1990's) and still feels so today. I recommend this highly to everyone of all ages.
