“Innocent flirting” = groping and harassment … and EVERYBODY was bombed most of the time. Reply DeleteĬhristine is spot on: “Coffee” = sex. It was fun to watch with you two in the peanut gallery. After seeing how he handled the case though, I have a feeling he was just feeling tired and thirsty and was not having a George Costanza realization ("Coffee doesn't mean coffee! Coffee means sex!"). Rome to stay for coffee and he replies, "Suddenly I feel a GREAT need for a cup of coffee." Hilarious.
My favorite part is at the end when Miss Kimball invites the good Lt. I think that was a deliberate comment on women in the workplace (ah, the sweet 60's when the highest level in the company a woman could aspire to was secretary and men still called women they didn't know 'honey').
I especially like the bit where all the women dash out of their offices at 5 on the dot. I appreciated its silliness, but then I would. I agree with you, John, that this episode is just too darn wacky not to enjoy. I have to say that your commentary made Fatal Impulse enjoyable to watch-and you can use that blurb, but I expect some sort of kickback. But Whitney Blake is a total babe.Ī few weeks ago I got my very own box set of Thriller the same day you guys released your commentary, so the first Thriller episode I watched was Fatal Impulse along with your commentary (too bad no subtitles). Also, creepy Lance Fuller uses too much eye liner. Dahlquiss you can start beating your wife now" as he made his exit.Īlso.Robert Lansing was a good actor, but that Jack Pierce-style brow is tough to take. Dahlquiss' apartment? Upon discovering that there was no bomb, BUT that the Missus had been two-timing her hubby (Harry Bartell), I half-expected the cop to say: "No bomb, Mr. Of course, one can overlook an occasional eyeball-roller like this problem is, the TONE of this entire episode borders on such overwrought silliness.
Did their bosses all give them five minutes of free time to get ready to file out of the office doors precisely at 5pm? Sorry, but things like this in a "serious, hard-hitting" drama drive me nuts. Then Gimpy runs down the hall and.in my favorite silly moment from this episode, the clock strikes five and immediately, RIGHT ON CUE, as if the assistant director, positioned off-camera, said "GO"- EVERY woman on the floor, in EVERY office comes filing out of EVERY door, ALL in their coats, hats n' gloves (and handbags, natch.). now Hannigan's got chocolate syrup all over his face. The result is a show that comes off more than a little amateurish.Įlisha the gimp uses the old camera stand-light on Hannigan's head I believe Moe Howard uses that same routine a couple of times on his colleagues. Everyone involved in this episode was trying WAY too hard it's too hyped-up in every way. I started to listen to your commentary, but really didn't want to sit through this show again.
