9/10
One of the funniest scenes so far.
Sleepin_Dragon29 November 2023
Tim moves in with The Tates, but he's convinced that he's cursed, but everyone is happy to see him move in, everyone but Benson. Mary gets close to her college lecturer, Jodie gives Dennis the news about Carol.

There are plenty of funny moments here, I've been crying out for more Bob, I can't explain why but he's become my favourite character, and his one liners are a joy.

Benson is on great form, I loved the way he dealt with The Major's boots. Favourite moment had to be the that scene where Chester comes round, and gets a little confused about his identity, it's one of the show's funniest sequences yet.

Jodie explaining the news to Dennis, very funny, again in surprised by how far ahead of its time this show was, talk about progressive.

I can't wait to see if Elaine has turned I we a new leaf here, will she be a changed woman?

9/10.

Episode 31
kevinolzak25 April 2010
Episode 31 begins with Tim's confession to Jessica that he believes he's cursed(and when a chandelier falls from the ceiling,barely missing them,Benson adds "well if you ain't the kiss of death you come awfully close!") Billy asks Eunice why they two are the only ones in the family who aren't "completely bonkers." When he learns that she's in love with Dutch,a convicted killer,Billy is convinced he's next to go crazy.Jodie breaks the news of his upcoming marriage to his lover Dennis,who himself failed at marriage,and refuses to back off("even if you can make it work,I'll make sure you don't").Mary's college professor,Anatole Martins(Lee Bergere),drives her home from school,obviously with designs on her,but she remains steadfastly devoted to her husband Burt,the subject of her very first poem,composed in class.Elaine is both starving and exhausted,and Mary convinces Danny to try being nice to her,relating how she was rotten to a guy who remained nice to her throughout her "rotten phase." When Danny inquires as to where he is now,her answer is "he's in the dining room,I married him!" Elaine confesses to Burt that she's scared to be nice because she'd been kind before to other people who "turned out not to be so nice." An amnesiac Chester awakens after his coma,and the doctor's reaction is priceless: "he's alive,I can't believe it,he is alive!".Chester asks the doctor for a fudgeicle("he thinks I'm the Good Humor man! Common mistake!"),then identifies a smiling Benson as Sidney Poitier! When asked who he is,Chester chooses first Gunga Din,then Gloria Swanson,before the frustrated doctor admits defeat("I can't stand it,the man is behaving like an idiot!"),informing Jessica that his recovery will take time("or I will have a hell of a lawsuit on my hands!")
