Christine Dunford guest stars as the Saleswoman, and this was two years before she became a leading actress in the police sitcom Hudson Street, where she played Officer Kirby McIntire. Anyway, I think The Pie was far better than The Marine Biologist, especially with the pie denouements and all which made me laugh big time, and also there was a Short Cuts feel with this episode, with intertwining plots that really brought things together. Reni Santoni should have got an Emmy for his role as Poppie who gets into hot water with the health authorities because he refuses to wash his hands when baking pizza.
