This episode doesn't go down memory lane in the way that their rivals sitcom "Golden Girls" did in similar episodes by having them sitting around reminiscing, instead dividing the episode into chapters concerning each of the characters. It's great to see Julia talking about when the nights went out in Georgia and going off on Ray Don, Suzanne's extended choruses of "Excuse Me", Mary Jo comparing bras to beanies and obsession with breasts in general, and Charlene's strange desire for knowledge in funny ways.
The choice of clips are good, not a good percentage of them the preachy ones that get ridiculed today, although some of the editing is jarring in the sudden switch of mood. What this does is point out the focus on sentiment (sometimes forced) over comedy, although in season four, it was certainly more rounded. Certain episodes are more highlighted than the others, two of which ("Dash Goff the Writer" and "The Women of Atlanta") are not among my favorites, and are easily fast forwardable. As the show neared the end of its fourth season, they should have focused on new stories rather than go down an egotistical memory lane so soon.
