A BIG STINKER

Oh my goodness, this episode is such a STINKER! It's just so cringey and cloying and campy and crazy. Every long running sitcom has at least one of these "stinker" episodes, and they're kinda fun, to be honest. This one is a bit painful, I'm not sure if Judith was supposed to take off and become a huge recording artist based on this episode? Or maybe this was to be a spinoff? Oh well, didnt happen. Ralph Carter's scrapey type of singing is downright painful, Judy's singing is belty, and pretty bad too, and her self esteem is non existent. Esther, BerNdette and J'anet give her a pep talk and teach her some tender lessons on how to deal with rejection. It's really awful.
