The Mating DanceEpisode Number: 2 Season Num: 1 First Aired: Friday May 3, 1991 Prod Code: D302 |
Fran feels very depressed after staying up all night trying to keep Baby from being awake and trying to get him to go to sleep. That morning, Baby went to sleep and Fran was outraged and upset that she did not get enough sleep. Later, Earl and Roy try to find out what's wrong with Fran's life and they believe that if she wasn't with the children she would have a perfect life. Later, Fran goes to her mothers to spend some time with her, while Earl tries to make dinner. Fran then comes home to tell Earl that there is definitely something wrong in her life. When Earl watches TV, he thinks that the only way to cheer Fran up again is to perform the mating dance.

This is the first time that The Baby says his famous 'Not the Momma' line to Earl while hitting him with a frying pan. This would become the most recognized running gag of the show, and the one that most people remember when they think of it.

Earl: Until your mother comes back, I'm your mother and your father.
Charlene: Okay, Mom, can I go to a movie tonight?
Earl: Not a chance!
Charlene: Dad said I could.
Earl: Uh...he really did? (edit) Charlene: (looking at a critter Earl's 'cooked' for dinner) Doesn't look done to me.
Earl: It's done, it's damn done. (dinner steals the turning fork) Hey give that back!
Critter: Here's a tip, next time try turning on the stove.
Robbie: So where's Mom? Do you think she had a nervous breakdown?
Charlene: Dad says she's at Grandma's.
Critter: Isn't that what they always tell the kids? (edit) DNN Reporter: And finally, in local news, officials at the city zoo report no luck in trying to mate Ling-Ling and Chang-Chang, the two rare imported humans. Zookeepers are baffled at why two seemingly healthy cavepeople have not yet produced offspring.
(cuts to a shot of in the zoo where two male humans are stood behind a cage.) (edit) Baby: Waaaah, waaaah, I'm crying, that means I'm up! (edit) Fran: It's the middle of the night.
Baby: No concept of time, wide awake, let's dance. (edit)
