Usually, television sitcoms don't lend themselves to criticism because they are what they are, namely commercial products that cater to ratings at the expense of artistic quality. And Married with Children is no different (even though this sitcom was in my opinion far more clever and funny then most other series in the genre). However, this episode was actually excellent. It features dancing by David Garrison and Christina Applegate, an excellent script with great one-liners, humorous and likable characters and proof that when given the chance, performers can excel. Case in point is Ms. Applegate. She is terrific in this episode. Not only is she funny, she dances is and clearly the star. That later on she has gone on to perform on Broadway does not surprise me. Ms. Applegate is wonderful. She would be a great Shirley Feeley in a remake of Laverne and Shirley.
