Goobers or Raisinets

[NinaNatasha · 10/10 · 27 February 2024]

Maggie's 16th birthday at Aunt Frieda's bar degenerated into "bedlam" following Sylvia mocking Aunt Frieda's only line in a Broadway play. That was the last straw for Aunt Frieda and the beginning of Frieda smearing, what looked like an éclair, on Sylvia's upper chest. Sylvia retaliated by smearing a dessert on Frieda's upper chest.

Sadly for Fran but great for the chaos that was about to ensue, Fran say's "are you trying to start a food fight". Brighton picks up on that and yells "food fight!" ....and chaos ensues.

Following the food fight it was priceless watching CC covered in "food" walking past Max & Fran calmly saying "Maxwell". Then Niles followed CC stating "she started it Sir".

Just a little recap of a few minutes of an excellent episode.

It was a lot of fun watching Frieda & Sylvia arriving at the Sheffield mansion separately but then yelling at each other in unison.

I will not spoil any more. Besides my words due the visuals no justice.

For me this is a top episode from the series.

BTW Fran looked exceptional in that blue dress.

What? Only four episodes for Lanie Kazan?

Everybody is obviously having a blast in this absolutely hysterical word that ends in a glorious food fight. It's obvious that former bombshells Renee Taylor and Lanier Kazan are enjoying their verbal barbs and the use of eclairs as lethal weapons, breaking into obvious laughter as they begin to get soaked in the whipped cream.

It seems that Sylvia and her sister-in-law Frieda have not spoken in years because of past misunderstandings when Sylvia failed to tell Frieda that she was basically mooning everybody on the dance floor. They haven't spoken in decades, and when they see each other for the first time, it is obvious that they are exactly alike in temperament, appetite and the need for total attention. When Fran orders Brighton to stop them both from leaving the house, it is an absolutely hysterical piece of film done in slow motion, only stopped with the help of a cake. The premise of the episode concerns Maggie's 16th birthday party, and that results in the food fight when their confrontations go too far. Even C.C. and Niles get in on the fun, the visual of them both covered in gooey sweets absolutely hysterical. This is one that I can watch over and over again and always find something to laugh at even if I know that it is coming up.
