I CAN'T HELP SAYING GOODBYE is a family-themed episode of the TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE TV show. The plot is fairly novel, one of those ones dealing with a murderous kid, although the all-American Alison Sweeney is rather bratty and obnoxious as the pigtailed child. Sweeney has an unusual gift - or perhaps it's a curse - when she says "goodbye" to people, they invariably die. Now, is her power the gift of foresight, or is something more sinister at work? Is she in reality a killer?
The ambiguity surrounding the central premise is the best thing in this tale. Otherwise the script is fairly routine and the acting hardly of note. Still, that's TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE for you...
