Jimmie's Ghost Blinks In For a A Bit
16 February 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Ok. This is the one where Jimmie Walker plays a wisecracking ghost. He's the dead husband of Vernee Watson. She's the only one who can see him. He wants her to find a new guy. She's not ready to move on. It's such a goofy idea. I love it. 'You know, the Ghost's union, we don't do bags,' Jimmie says. Maybe handsome Greg Morris is a good fit for her. Melissa Sue Anderson is a young woman - Gopher's sister - with eyes for Doc. 'Your sister has turned into a real stunner,' Captain Stubing says. Boy oh boy, this can't be legal. I love the way that Jimmie Walker mangles the English language. Jamie Lee Curtis is unhappy with her man. She'd rather read 'Executive Trash' in bed. Was that by Harold Robbins? This episode aired on Nov 11 1978. Halloween had just been released the previous month. Her mother, Janet Leigh, is here too. The stars of The Fog are setting sail. Oh yeah. Conrad Bain is here as Jamie's father. Janet and Conrad get stuck in a room and have to work out their problems. They're going to have to ration those peanuts. Isaac has just created a new drink, 'The Isaac Eye Opener.' This one's a lot of fun. On Kafka's Love Boat Scale, this gets 3 1/2 * out of a possible 4 *.
