Darlene is required to perform community service at a child-care facility. Being a confirmed child-hater, she surprises everyone when she becomes so attached to the children, she considers having one of her own.
I really liked the idea of having children in the show. Not only did it open up a larger audience draw, it added some reality to the show as well. The children would run havic all over the set which seemed to bring out the best responses from the star characters. It is so typical to see an adult try to take charge of a group of children only to be totally exasperated with the end result. As in normal everyday life, children somehow know exactly when they have wone the battle in the arguement. Just when you think you're going to have the last word, the child comes back at you with some "smarty" reply. This is addressed clearly in this episode.moreless
