"You're Turning a Virus Into a Career"

Willie asks Mark to tutor his girlfriend Lisa, and she ends up hitting on Mark; Sandy is run ragged by a flu-ridden David.

Another decent episode, but not excellent. Sickness in sitcoms is never that funny so David's story only has a few good moments. Mrs. Poole brings him a Popeye coloring book and he watches "Women Who Love Men Who Want to be Women" on GERALDO. It is worth it to see Sandy blow her stack near the end, though.

Tammy Lauren (Lisa) was 20 years old when this episode was filmed, yet surprisingly passes as a believable schoolmate for the twins. Classic TV fans will recognize her as Kristy, the teenage prostitute Tootie meets in THE FACTS OF LIFE episode "Runaway" a series classic from Season 3.
