For me the, the plights of single Sally Rogers are some of the best episodes of this show. Laura always seems to be on the look-out for an eligible match for Sally; this time, it is Ted, "the brother of a friend". Unfortunately, Sally is so used to being treated like one of the boys (she is the only female that these guys will play poker with because she is not a "woman"), that she seems to forget how to be soft and feminine, to attract and catch that elusive animal, known as a husband. Laura goads Rob into treating Sally more like a lady at work; this prompts Buddy and Mel to think that Sally and Rob have fallen for each other. When next we see Sally and Ted, she actually does look and sound softer and more feminine.

A decent idea, but they seemed to overdo it a bit.

Like most episodes, Rob and Buddy treat Sally like she's one of the boys instead of a lady. They didn't notice this, as it's second nature to them but when Sally and a date come over for dinner, she is disturbed by the way Buddy and Rob treat her. Later, she insists Rob treat Sally like a lady...and Rob REALLY lays on the charm...so much so that Buddy and Mel are worried.
I think had Rob not been so incredibly nice and solicitous towards Sally, it would have worked much better. But because it's overdone, it's effectiveness is compromised. Not a bad episode but a rare case where it easily could have been done better had it been more subtle.
