I miss Nick as the manager of the diner as he was mysterious and wise. It seems since Hank's been in charge the status of the diner is dependent on Hank's emotions at the time. As soon as Hank gets a girl that shows the slightest bit of interest in him and WHAM he disregards the diner. The whole bit with Mikey dealing with a seemingly evil boss is funny and realistic though. Another funny touch on this episode is the use of "Unchained Melody" whenever Hank and Carol are about to have a moment. As normal though Annie does her job of ordering Parker around and trying to make the world a better place. If they never bothered with Annie or Hank and kept the character Nick and Frank Lemmer instead in the show things would've been loads better. Oh well not much one can do I suppose.

Guest starring Wendie Jo Sperber

Warning: Spoilers
Season three of Parker Lewis is all about relationships, with minimal consideration of the special effects, synchronize watches, visual gags that we saw in seasons one and two. I for one actually like season three with the emphasis on relationships. I first watched Parker Lewis Can't Lose when it debuted over thirty years ago believe it or not.
Anyway, Wendie Jo Sperber guest stars in this episode, playing Hank Kohler's fiance, and they almost get married. Anyway, Wendie Jo Sperber sadly died in 2005. Actually she starred in Back to the Future, which was directed by Robert Zemeckis, who was married to the late Mary Ellen Trainor, who played Parker's mom in the Pilot and seasons two and three.
Anyway, the use of Unchained Melody in this episode was hilarious and poignant.
