We did too, but oh how we were wrong. Instead we are presented with a bizarre Mac & Me-esque creature, with big eyes and gurgling vocals, who can control electricity when the plot dictates it. He's also a big pervert who likes spying on women in the shower and watching his adopted parents makeout.  We also get early hacking and A.I., a busy dad who doesn't appreciate his son's skateboarding skills, and the beautiful sight of a limp doll body being shoved in a giant sack of dog food.  And thanks to the generosity of Eternal Family (a site that we may have dreamed up) you too can enjoy this very misguided episode of television for free right now.  If you like the show, give us a rating on Apple Podcasts. And follow us on Instagram and Threads at @weirdnesspodcast (where you can suggest TV shows we should cover on the podcast)!        ","author_name":"Center of Weirdness","author_url":"https:\/\/centerofweird.com","html":"
