America's Suitehearts, episode 92:

'Wish Upon a Star'

Donnie the Catcher hits a ball so far into the sky it knocks a star to Feather Fields. He and the Horseshoe Crab are taught about space by the extra-terrestrial visitor.

Below is a review of the episode from the blog DoctorBBlog.org, a website that fell inactive after Mr. Benzedrine was introduced into the show:

The tape I got for this episode wasn't kept well. I've managed to restore some of it a little bit, but the screenshot I chose for this post looked like this originally:

It always unnerved me how empty the set of Feather Fields was. It has a real liminal feel to it, it doesn't really feel like the lovely place to live the show makes it out to be.

Anyway, the episode! This one was aired on the 2nd November 2000- it was one of the yearly specials, focused around space to celebrate the International Space Station being occupied. It was a typical puppet-teacher educating the protagonists episode, but the star puppet was kinda creepy and it kept bringing up the eventual heat death of the universe? Weird choice to get that existential for a kid's show.

The rest of the episode is too degraded for me to even try to restore but I did do a drawing of the star puppet that appeared in the episode so you have an idea of what we were dealing with. It's pretty much a glorified sock puppet but the arms had a surprising amount of motion- I can't figure out how they managed that, it was almost like they were actual limbs.

I loved Donnie and Crab's baseball outfits in this episode, and it seemed like the pair of them really started to get along around this point- this episode is, of course, predating Sandman, so at this point these two were the only human characters.

I was surprised that there wasn't any merchandise for this episode, but that's the general theme with the episodes following the 7-year hiatus. I guess if the production company refuses to acknowledge the show is still airing, it would make sense for them to not make any merch. I'd kill for a little figure of Donnie in his baseball outfit though.

Search for episode 21 remains. Sometimes I feel like when I watch the tapes they're watching me back.

America's Suitehearts, episode 127:

'The Man that Eats Colour meets the Luckiest Man Alive'

When Donnie the Catcher loses all his colour, the Horseshoe Crab ventures into the graveyard to find the source of this monochrome mayhem.

Below is a review of the episode from the blog DoctorBBlog.org, a website that fell inactive after Mr. Benzedrine was introduced into the show:

This episode marked the introduction of 'Mr. Sandman' in the show. I think it only aired once and got loads of complaints from parents that said Sandman had terrified their children. They pulled the episode from rebroadcast but kept Sandman as a character, retconning his inability to control his colour-eating powers by the next episode- it was like he'd gone under loads of character development offscreen.

I've been searching for a copy of this episode since I started my Suitehearts collection, and I finally found a tape at a yard sale last week. None of the databases online talk about the musical number at the end- this episode contains the only song without Donnie since his introduction- it's weird to see a song without the usual ensemble.

Like every episode, I can't find any behind-the-scenes info- I was specifically interested on how they achieved the monochrome filter over Donnie- maybe it's similar to how they did it in the Wizard of Oz? Either way, the original producer is still responding to my emails with denials that the show even exists past episode 20, but I know it was never cancelled, and I will get to the bottom of what the hell is going on with this show.

I assume Sandman's colour-eating was supposed to be a metaphor for mental health- it felt like the actor wasn't really clear on the character motivations, though. It reminds me of Donnie's first episode, too- both of them seemed like they thought they were acting in a thriller as opposed to a kids show. It was freaky, too, like Sandman's fear in the scenes of not being able to control his powers felt really genuine. Uncomfortably so.

I'll upload more screenshots later, but I thought the scene of Sandman realising he won't drain Crab's colour because of the latter's luck was too sweet not to share early. I'm glad the show started making use of Crab's good fortune again, it was a real chekov's gun situation.

No news on my search for a copy of episode 21. I'm starting to think it doesn't exist.
