The Party Fish (#2.2)
ComedyFan201026 October 2015
Warning: Spoilers
This episode was alright. But not as good as usually. Somehow I didn't care too much for neither of the stories.

So the whole thing with the beach club. I don't get why Brandon cares so much for his parents to join or why they are so against it. Yeah, I know the reasons provided by the episode but they make no sense.

I think they should also maybe loosen up a bit with Brandon playing the moral police, it can be annoying when it gets a bit too much.

Brenda's acting was also annoying and ridiculous. I think instead of having a story about her in that acting class they should have concentrated on David in it, it probably would have been funner.

The Flamingo Kid episode
TheFearmakers19 October 2023
This is basically THE FLAMINGO KID, a Garry Marshall film set in the fifties where Matt Dillon is an optimistic yet poor kid in the city who winds up going with two friends and becomes a cabana boy at a plush beach club... but that's not where the main similarities lie...

There's the exact same triangle between the kid and two men: one his hard-working father and the other the richest member of the club, who, in the movie, promises Matt Dillon a lucrative job selling pricey jobs while his plumber dad wants him to go to college, and Dillon's a wishbone in the process...

It's not that dramatic here of course, and the rich guy is nothing as charming as Richard Crenna in the film and Brandon's father is more mellow, and has more money, than Hector Elizondo in the film, but... it really, truly is the same movie, this episode, and it's a great one.
