Do you deliver?
Sylviastel28 May 2009
Peggy gets herself invited to Kelly's school for her job as a homemaker. She manipulates her neighbor and friend, Marcy, to baking a 1,000 cookies for the event. She thinks Kelly's embarrassed by her. To tell the truth, I don't think Kelly cares what Peggy does with her life. At school, none of her friends are there to see Peggy who becomes the talk of the working mothers. She gives advice on how to trick a husband with the remote control, Oprah Winfrey, making dinner by calling a delivery restaurant, etc. They even brought the couch from home to the event. While the other mothers have careers such as being a judge or an astronaut, Peggy becomes a star in her own right by being the wife and head of the house.

A nickel!

The 'Lost Episode' ramped up the risqué content, but wasn't any funnier for it. This episode is far more reserved but the writing is so much better.

Peggy goes to Kelly's school for mother daughter career day where she wows the other mums and kids with her handy tips on how to do as little as possible and spend her husband's money. Meanwhile, Al tries to teach Bud the value of a hard-earned wage by taking him to work with him.

As is so often the case, the funniest moments take place in the shoe shop, Al making un-PC remarks about his customers, referring to a fat lady as a 320lb behemoth, and asking a beautiful young woman (regular MWC hottie Teri Weigel) about her morning shower routine. While this kind of humour might not go down so well with a modern audience, anyone lucky enough to have been raised in an age when comedy was allowed to be offensive will have a great time.

Outside of the shoe shop, Kelly gets giggles for aspiring to be like Peggy: "When I grow up I want to be just like you - I want to do nothing, I want to be nothing."
