How does Dick encounter death for the first time? In this episode, "Body & Soul & Dick," we shall see! Dr. Leonard Hanlin (played by John Mahoney) is a disliked snobby professor. As his own party, he has a heart attack and dies. Dick was an honest man with him and in his will, he requests Dick to deliver a eulogy at his funeral. Coming up with nice words for the man may not be the easiest thing to do. Meanwhile, Tommy does have a hard time staying loyal to August-as cheerleaders arouse his interest.
Compared to the last few episodes, this is a better and funnier episode. John Mahoney delivers the goods as the detested professor in his brief appearance. Watching Dick try to write a eulogy is some good comedy work. John Lithgow continues to amaze me as Dick. When the eulogy is spoken, that is what we need-a good ol' belly laugh. Also, the Big Giant Head is finally spoken about for the first time here. Many laughs = great episode.
Quote of the Episode:
Sally Solomon: When *are* we going to leave this planet? Dr. Dick Solomon: When we know everything there is to know about life. Harry Solomon: Whoa, good thing we have cable.
