Here's a line you'll either recognize or you won't: "This is one time where television really fails to capture the true excitement of a large squirrel predicting the weather."

I thought it had a great message until he had to spend the night (albeit fully clothed) with the leading lady (Andie MacDowell?) to break the "curse." Maybe I'm just a prude. Then again, I never liked the ending to "Grease," either.
