san francisco international ( sfi for the rest of this ) follow what i have start call a love boat style of plot development . you know a movie or television show with an ensemble cast where each character have their own storyline that may or may not have anything to do with the other character . one plot line be deadly serious and another be romantically charge and the next be play for laugh and and on and on it go . i do not know where the love boat plot style first originate and but sfi follow this to a t. the story line in sfi include represent a boy and upset over his parent divorce and climb into an abandon plane and take off while a band of crook rob a shipment of cash go through the airport while seek additional funding for the airport and airport head honcho jim conrad ( pernell robert ) fake an emergency land with a planeload of government official while a businessman and a hippie get into an altercation while etc . but be a 70 make for tv movie and you know everything be go to work out fine in the end not that you really care or anything . there be several reason why sfi never make it to our television set a a regular series . and chief among them as far a i be concern be pernell robert . be self assure be one thing and but robert character come off a one of the smug in history . he too unlikable to care about any of his problem and whether they get resolve or not . you can not build a series around a horse rear end like jim conrad and expect anyone to watch . a with a lot of the bad movie i have be watch lately and i saw sfi courtesy of mystery science theater 3000. and as far a a mst3k episode go and sfi be a keeper . a laugh at every turn . if youre a fan of the show and do yourself a favor and seek it out . this one get a 4/5 on my mst3k rating scale .
