This episode doesn’t get interesting until about a third in when a white CPR class attendant drops a verbal bombshell in response to being asked to practice on the dummy Louise just put her (“nigger”) lips on. The KKK is a contentious subject for a sitcom and the dialogue gets preachy on both sides, but George Jefferson’s eventual involvement creates not only an element of suspense but the main source of entertainment.

It’s a spooky concept; a suburban family realizes their house is haunted by evil beings; but the movie is too silly to make it work. Much of the blame goes to Zelda Rubinstein; a small actress who plays a medium.
“Go into the light!” “No, don’t go into the light!” “Okay, I change my mind; go back into the light!” … voices yell over a whirlwind of ghostly confusion; all in a joint effort to get the baby daughter out of the TV.
