Part of the time, Great to Be Back! means exactly that. But much of the time it does not, and there's the rub--the wrong way. The material which is out-and-out bad regrettably is heaped together at the beginning, so audience morale lags and the viewer watches even the best material dubiously, certain that it can't last long...

Armchair hunters will be pleased to read that lions use their long tails to rub out their tracks, that when an elephant pair wishes to have a young one, they first eat of the mandrake (representing Adam and Eve and the tree of knowledge), and that whales will let sailors settle on their backs, but dive from under them if they light campfires...
