One of the best openings I have ever seen! Terry O'Quinn changes out of his bloody clothes and takes a shower. He changes into a suit and walks down stairs as nothing has happened. He just murdered his family.He puts the phone back on the hook and walks outside. He picks up a news paper and walks on his way through the perfect looking neighborhood. He gets involves with a new family. Jill Schoelen the new stepdaughter doesn't like Jerry Blake (Terry O'Quinn).You see Jerry Blake wants the perfect family and Stephinie(Jill Schoelen) thinks he is too fake and old fashion. Jerry buys Stephinie a dog and mentions how he had a dog when he was young and he was Rin tin tin to him. In another scene Jerry is watching Mr Ed on TV. He even has the perfect Thanksgiving with family that the Rockfellows could have been jealous of and builds a birdhouse. Jerry has another side to him, flipping out in the basement, throwing around his tools. Freaking out when Stephinie kisses a boy she likes. A really good scene is when Jerry decides the family with Shelly Hack is not working, he had quit his job and Shelly Hack tried calling him but they said he quit, Hack Confronts O'Quinn on this and he says wait a minute who am I here? and Hack says "Jerry" and he hits her hard with the phone and says thanks honey. here are a bunch of good one liners as well from O'Quinn. Jill Schoelen went on to make Popcorn and When a Stranger calls back.
