This episode was quite the surprise as it focused largely on Frank Lemmer trying to pick up a girl. So much so he started working at the diner to try and get help with his dilemma from the master of love (Nick Comstock). Strangely the tables turn a bit as Frank begins to have better luck with the girls than Nick does. This episode overall was a nice change up when compared to some of the episodes that only seem to work with the same themes (ie. the episodes where Mikey finds the ideal girl, or Kubiac has some big problem that only Parker can help him with, or Shelley tries to recreate her image, etc.). I can't think of too many episodes that focus this much on Frank and deal with him trying to pick up a girl. That and I liked the character of Nick as he always brought perspective to things. When he vanished in Season 3 (Along with Frank Lemmer come to think of it) it was as if a main character just left.

A game-changing episode

Definitely Dance of Romance is a game-changing episode of Parker Lewis Can't Lose, with the tone becoming very surreal and relational and romantic. On reflection, I think Dance of Romance presaged the dramatic shift of the tone of the series in season three. Now really, I actually liked season three but not everyone does, but anyway. Anyway, here Frank Lemmer is actually at the center of this episode, supported by Nick Comstock (Paul Johansson, who later directed Atlas Shrugged Part 1). Who would have thought they would go well together, but they do, and Dance of Romance is a real game-changer in the Parker Lewis world.
