Plot: Rob feels that he has betrayed his dentist friend, Jerry Helper, when he lets another dentist work on his teeth"
This is at the end of the episode where the group is playing a game of scrabble.
Episode can be seen here in its entirety:
:-) good one
I believe Mel Cooley and the guy who did the Twizzle are Freepers.
A baby frope.
Richard Deacon, who played Mel Cooley, died in 1984. The Twizzle guy was Jerry Lanning. I have no idea about him.
Walnuts scare me.
In an episode called "Bupkis," Rob hears a song on the radio, called Bupkis, and reveals to his wife that he wrote it when he was in the army. An old army buddy has taken the song and turned it into a hit.
Laura asks Rob what Bupkis means, and he tells her it's an old Yiddish word meaning "nothing." That's sort of true, but the actual translation is "goat sh*t." It's common use in Yiddish was pretty much what it is in English, as in "I didn't get sh*t."
So, anyway, there's an entire Dick Van Dyke episode about the word "goat sh*t."
Now excuse me while I go and get a glass of air.
Why, if I didn’t have any thumbs, I wouldn’t be able to post!
Sure you would. There’s always “hunting and pecking”.
my favorite part of that episode is when Rob calls the radio station, then flips thru the phone book and checks the number (see it and says "Right" then tries to hold in a laugh) because he forgot to act out that part before he called.
