Episode Summary

When Greg starts to dress and act strangely after driving the used car Dharma recently bought, she worries he's been possessed by the spirit of the car's previous owner, a petty criminal and gambler who met an untimely death. Meanwhile, Edward has Larry set up a security camera at his house to help catch the kid who eggs his house every Halloween, but the "trick" is still on him.

    It's Halloween and Dharma has bought a vintage car. Greg doesn't like it and tries to convince her to get rid of it by tricking her. Someone eggs Kitty and Ed's house every year and Ed is determined to stop it. hide show

    I don't understand why Greg has to sabotage Dharma. If she wants this car, why isn't that fine? A lot of sitcoms feature this kind of storyline where one character tries to undermine another constantly, but I find it a little depressing, which is why I watch D&G - it's generally got a more positive view of the human condition.

    I love who is egging the Montgomery's house! It's complicated, liking D&G. I like the ideas behind the show, but sometimes they just don't go far enough. I guess it's what you think the show is about - is it about a normal/nerdy Harvard grad and his attempts to cope with his wacky spouse? Or is it about people learning to see a broader spectrum of possibilities in life?

    Do you agree?

  • CHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS #90*

    I wrote what I thought was a particularly clever essay for my ninetieth vanity card. Unfortunately, you can't read it because it did not make it past the censor. Apparently it was considered to be disrespectful towards certain unnamed people I dubbed "corporate overlords." Upon re-reading it I can understand how one might view it that way. I guess I was hoping that those in power would simply laugh at my juvenile irreverence and that would be the end of it. "Oh, that Chuck! What a wild and iconoclastic sense of humor he has!" (In my in imagination when they speak about me all their sentences end with exclamations because just the thought of me excites them.) Anyway, the premise of my now dead essay was that I wielded immense leverage as a result of a large, devoted, cult-like group of vanity card readers who could, when sent into action by me, positively influence the ratings of D & G. This personal leverage could then be used to force the unnamed power brokers to negotiate with me "on my terms." The big funny of the essay was that I had no idea what "my terms" might be. I visualized a scenario wherein I sat in a boardroom eating deli sandwiches with important people who "trembled" at my ability to command vast legions of TV viewers through my vanity cards. Hopefully when my time here on Earth has drawn to an end, the original draft of number ninety will be discovered and cherished by generations as yet unborn. But until that day, this card will have to do. Number ninety with an asterisk. Unless of course this card gets axed because it too fails to meet broadcast standards. Okay, let me quickly mention that "corporate overlords" is what we in the TV business say when referring to people with big hearts and even bigger senses of humor. []
