peggy wants to meet more people who like reading and discussing books. she takes over a book store, but soon realizes nobody is buying. she then decides to do something risky; allow dale and other people to buy and sell guns. is this a good idea?

an OK episode. it started off pretty good, but by the end of the episode for some reason i was not interested in what was happening. there were some laughs to be found though so it was pretty good. my overall grade for this episode would be somewhere in the "B" range i thinkmoreless

That was okay.

This episode was actually pretty decent. I thought that it was more interesting than entertaining and funny. It was good in the fact that it had an interesting story, a decent plot, and some okay comedy. Peggy was again in over her head and it seemed that, like usual, her plan would fail. It did fail, but not before she made a huge mess of epic proportions. I liked a few things in this one. I liked that Dale convinced Peggy to let him sell guns and I liked the fact that Peggy failed. Overall, it was a decent episode. Thank you.moreless

- Dale: Excellent grouping, Colonel. Plus those hollow points penetrated Shakespeare all the way into the so-called joyous comedies. "As You Like It?" I like it plenty.

- Hank: "As the ambulance pulled away, Cassie remembered the smell of onions from her grandmother's kitchen." The end. Joe Jack, you awake?
  Joe Jack: (crying) I've got half a mind to go to Nova Scotia and kick that Benedict's ass.
  Mr. Strickland: Boy, that Cassie reminds me of someone. Hey, how big did you guys picture her ta-tas?
  Enrique: It said she was slender as a willow, so... grapefruits?
