Normally I don't write reviews because so many people do it so much better. Ray, Paul and Plankton to name a few.
But something was missing in the other reviews of this episode. One was mention of the great comic Richard Pryor who after freebasing cocaine in 1980 ended up in flames running down the street. It was first thought that an explosion from the chemicals used in freebasing caused this. Later Pryor admitted that after freebasing cocaine for days he poured 151 Proof Rum all over himself and lit himself on fire.
This even surely had something to do with this episode. BUT, the biggest mention needs to go to Roger Miller. Someone mentioned his singing was as bad as the jokes. Well, maybe they just meant in this episode because Miller was an absolute Giant in music industry.
Growing up as a baby boomer his music was everywhere. I remember as a kid loving his songs because they told great stories and were easy to follow. "King of the Road" and "Dang Me" were 2 of my favorites, but he had many more.
You owe to yourself to search out some of his hilarious and wonderful music. Give it a Listen. Even and old Punk Rocker like me still loves his stuff.
This Quincy Episode could have been horrible, but it was saved by Roger Miller and some serious issues. I gave it a barely passing grade for TV.
