One of the worst sitcom sins is the...Oh, Wolfgang!<br /><br />One of the worst sitcom sins is the episode where nothing matters, and this is one of those kinds of episodes. Sure, sitcoms often end with no net change in the characters or story lines. It's the episodes where almost literally nothing happens; here, Alice dates Wolferl a couple times, they don't get serious, end of show. The worry that he is a freeloader means nothing, the worry of heartbreak never occurs. Nothing. Just nothing.<br /><br />You continue to be a brave man for watching these... and Don Winslow at the same time, the series I plan to catch up on ASAP.<br /><br />P.S. LOLing forever at this:<br /><br />http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8qzY1epH28A/UQiC9GK66NI/AAAAAAAAeWI/lr0P2rJXmME/s1600/professor10.jpgStaciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05250238254417726987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7307577717655310918.post-87036513542073407772013-01-30T02:53:51.476-05:002013-01-30T02:53:51.476-05:00Man.

I think the real reason he missed the Return to Mayberry reunion is either because he moved to scenic Mt. Pilot and refused to budge from his front porch, or all that inactivity eventually put him in a coma.<br /><br />The whole plot is also kind of a poorman's version of similar Aunt Bee episodes with guest stars Wallace Ford ("Aunt Bee's Romance") and Edgar Buchanan ("Aunt Bee's Brief Encounter"). I suppose had RFD lasted, we might have had "Cousin Alice's Affair to Remember." Andrew Lealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04536423892525694724noreply@blogger.com
