At the time when this episode aired, NBC knew they had a SERIOUS hit on their hands with this show. And like all TV networks are apt to do, NBC knew they had to up the hype machine of this show by adding a huge pop culture reference in Bell Biv Devoe (BBD).
I'm a BIG fan of New Edition and BBD. And it was nice to see this episode again and see BBD in a period (1990-1991) where their music and image were as hot as an Arizona summer.
Will as usual was his super funny and goofy self in this episode. For me, the height of his being super funny and goofy in this episode, was when he was dancing his way into BBD's music video by backing up into Michael Bivins and pushing Biv out of the video! That part had my dying of laughter so much that I rewound that scene about five times! Then there's Tyriq, who danced in and near the BBD video shoot. Plus, near the end of the episode he decided to ditch Will and the Banks' cleanup effort, to go hang out with some honeys at one of those Hollywood parties.
This episode was priceless and indicative of how hot this show was especially in the 1991 through 1994 period.
