This episode is rather awkward in several ways, not the least of which is the presence of young J.D. Daniels as an obnoxious teen sitcom star whom Maxwell wants for a revival of "Oliver!" (presumably the role of the Artful Dodger) and the chaos he causes while negotiating a contract. Thanks to Fran's advice, he announces that he's quitting show business and Fran must take him out to try to get him to change his mind. This results in a couple of celebrity look alikes and a cameo by Bob Barker. it's an all-right episode, but Daniels looks like a mini adult rather than a kid, and his attitude shows a monster already created. A cameo by Liz Smith resolves everything, but there is something unpleasant about the situation and the guest character that doesn't make it one that I'd re-watch over and over.
