Although I hate slapstick, the food fight is done skillfully to ensure that it is funny. What is revealing about the charactors in this episode, is that they are all a bunch of losers, but have a real friendship together. This episode really made me feel that the show was much deeper than a mere comedy, and that the writers really cared about the charactors, which in turn was well conveyed by both the classy writing, and the great acting of the cast. A show that can make slapstick funny has to be class.moreless

- Diane is leafing through poetry books, chain smoking, (presumably) on her day off. During this time Carla returns from her trip to Memphis. The bar tables are packed. So just who is waiting on all these customers?

- Is there really a such thing as a 'double C battery'? If so, wouldn't it be a bit less then a C battery? (AAA = less power then AA) So wouldn't it make more sense to name it as a 'B' battery? Also, it would be bigger then a AA but the thing he picks up is very small.
  
  In answer to the question: Yes, a double-C battery does exist,although it may not have in 1986. It is 3.6 volt, replaces two standard C-cells, and may be be a specialty battery for certain types of equipment, not common for household use.
