A Dull One

[dgplatt-60121 · 6/10 · 9 April 2024]

There's not a whole lot going on here - much of the episode is anchored by Anthony and Annie, and their plight just isn't that interesting.

Carla's son Anthony is hung up on his girlfriend Annie, and Carla is worried that they're moving too fast. She enlists Sam to show Anthony what the swinging bachelor life is like, but it backfires as Anthony sees Sam's lifestyle as pathetic. There's nothing particularly bad here, and Timothy Williams does a good Dan Hedaya impression, but in the end it feels like a warmed over plot from Happy Days or Facts Of Life.

There are a couple so-so subplots, including Diane's freakout during a job interview (a well they will revisit with different characters in later seasons, never very funny). There's also the start of Cliff's obsession with growing plants that look like things.

The Groom Wore Clearasil (#4.4)

[ComedyFan2010 · 7/10 · 13 May 2014]

Carla feels that her son needs more of time with a man since his father is so bad. So Sam spends some time with him and Anthony says that he wants to marry his girlfriend. Sam wants to show off how great it is to be single but this doesn't work and actually makes Anthony more sure. Carla hopes now that he is like his father and asks for 2 weeks hoping that he will find another one. Yet him and his fiancé come in 2 weeks but then he sees his girlfriend's cousin and goes after her.

Ah must be a sad message to people whose parent is a jerk! But no I am sure they exaggerated the inheritance lot here.

The funnest part was Diane's interview for sure!

In this episode we have two main storylines: Carla's son wants to marry his girlfriend and Carla wants him to learn from Sam how to not be attatched to a girl, while Diane has an interview for a new job. This episode was pointless, I can't even give it an average rating, Carla's focus episode seem to have that tendency, she's great when she is secondary but when she or her family are the focus the episode feels a step down, I don't know what it is. Diane's interview was the only fun part of the episode but it was too short, too gone, too soon. Cliff was the most doll he has been, so was Norm, nothing was given to them. Woody although a nice addition to the show, seems very empty sometimes, Being an enormous "Twin Peaks" fan, seeing a cameo by Sherilyn Fenn as Gabrielle in the end was a special treat but didn't really saved anything. 4/10 MVP: Diane Chambers .

Cliff and Nixon--Then Not So Funny

[Hitchcoc · 5/10 · 18 August 2019]

Cliff grows a potato that he thinks looks like Richard Nixon. No one else does. The main plot--the boring one--is Carla's son who wants to marry his teenaged girlfriend. There's not much to say. It's throwaway episode.
