This episode - For All that and all that was different because it showed three to four generations of Mack's family all together. It was good seeing Mack with his father again. Mack had no idea that he was bringing his father to a strip joint. The beautiful blonde dancer in the night club Marilyn Corwin, brought humor to the awkward scene at the bar. She ignored the fact that Mack was having a reunion with his father. She was pleased to be paid by Mack to dance off into the night. Dancer delivered the most enjoyable moments of this Block Party episode.moreless
