Hard to screw up a reunion episode.
vitoscotti12 August 2023
I started watching the beginning of season 3. This has to near or the worst writing yet. Everything about this episode failed miserably. Cruel humor mocking Mama Harper (Vicki Lawrence) having her good name trampled on by a lie that lasted 50 years. The "hot pants" bit bombed like Naomi's (Dorothy Lyman) catoring. Neither was funny. What's unfortunate is sitcom class reunions are usually easy home runs because of all the unique opportunities they have for humor. The actors at times struggled to not have a pained look on their face delivering lines in an episode sinking the a rock. I'd definitely skip this episode.
