A dolphin, a parrot, two kids, and exploives. What does that all add up to? A pretty silly story! First, you have the dolphin. Porter made him get pinned up so he wouldn't be in the way or get hurt when the explovies were set off. How many times have we seen that story before? Second, we have this crazy parrot who has a very good knowledge and can talk. We've never met him before but he can even say Flipper's name. What's more, the parrot knows he's in trouble and even calls out for Flipper to help him. It's a bit unbelievable if you ask me! Then we have the two kids. It's all innocent enough and they play only a small part. But when the parrot shows up after untying himself, and Flipper shows up after getting himself out of the pen, they call on good ol' Dad for help.
Have I ever mentioned how intelligent all the animals in the show seem to be? I don't mind Mr. Ed because we know going in that he's exceptional. But Flipper, Pelican Pete, and Cap'n Flint are all a little hard to conceive!
