"Fuzzy Settles Down" would at first expectation be a comedy, based on the lightweight and overly simplistic title and because Al "Fuzzy" St. John is so prominently featured. But this is actually a more serious entry in the Buster Crabbe/St. John series, not one played for laughs but, of course, with considerable smile-inducing comic relief dotting the landscape. Viewers follow the increasing intrigue as our two newly-arrived heroes become involved in a little town's struggle against Charles King's perfectly underplayed performance as the bad man intent on taking over the town's future. King becomes exasperated as his staff of cutthroats, who are dispatched to carry out his machinations, are consistently thwarted in carrying out their work by the omnipresent Crabbe, who's sole purpose in life seems to be protecting his good but naive buddy Fuzzy. Interestingly, Crabbe plays his role as Billy Carson kind of like Superman, in that to the outside world he is seen as being aloof to the dastardly goings-on around him, which lead the heroine and others to believe he is a good-for-little hanger-on. Of course, with the passage of time they all find out better. The cast is big and the acting is sharp, and even Buster Crabbe seems confident and comfortable in this one. The premise is strong, the story and dialog are well thought out, none of the fighting nor the use of guns seem gratuitous or drawn out, and the whole program is a pleasure to observe and really get wrapped-up in.
