The Day the Spores LandedEpisode Number: 132 Season Num: 6 First Aired: Thursday November 9, 1989 Prod Code: 0608 |
Cliff dreams that the eruption of a volcano in Peru has sent spores into the drinking water and caused men to become pregnant. Cliff, Elvin, Martin and Theo are all pregnant. Theo deals with stares and unkind comments because he is an "unwed father." The pregnant men all become very emotional, while the women act insensitive toward them most of the time. The guys all go into labor at the same time, and suffer excruciating pain. Martin gives birth to a toy sailboat, while Theo has a mini sports car. Cliff has twins: a gigantic hoagie and a bottle of orange soda. After "experiencing" pregnancy and childbirth, Cliff wakes up and tells Clair how much he appreciates her and how much he admires all women.

(edit)
Early in the episode, a news report is heard (off screen) about the spores. The report is read by longtime NBC News anchor/reporter John Palmer.
(edit)
In syndication, the song that the pregnant men dance to (following the commercial break) is different than in the original broadcasts.
(edit)
How come they never show what Elvin gave birth to?
(edit)
When Jeffrey gives his long speech about giving birth, he says he had a "tiny creature," so why did all the other men give birth to inanimate objects (sailboat, car, giant hoagie sandwich)?
(edit)
When Russell explains why he was the only one who didn't get pregnant, he made up some excuse about the spores not getting to New Jersey. Wouldn't it make more sense to say Grandma Anna couldn't get him pregnant because she's menopausal? They're in their seventies after all.
