Dyan Cannon makes it fun to watch
brtndr3 September 2013
While there really are no memorable, or "Classic", comedic skits and musical performances in this episode, there are a few skits worth mentioning here like "Anita Bryant attempts to pitch Florida orange juice while being held hostage in Beirut" is probably the best of the show.

A close second is Dan Aykoryd and Dyan advertising pickle jars filled with water that famous people have bathed in. And as crazy as that may have sounded in the 70's, I'm pretty sure there's an actual market today for "Bathwater of the Stars" that's available for purchase over the internet.

In fact, while writing this review, I Googled, "Celebrity Bathwater", and one of the top links was an article posted by the Bleach Report where recently, the 2012 London Olympic swimmer, Mo Farah, is selling his bathwater on the most popular auction website on the internet. I can't mention "specifically" the site, or this review will not be posted on IMDb. But, it's not that hard to guess which one it is.

However, while Mo Farah is the only celebrity that I currently know of who is selling their bathwater for profit. I personally think that there is an endless amount of potential in the "Bathwater of the Stars" market, early on, until all the YouTube and Reality TV celebrities eventually get into the new bathwater market, and wind-up driving down the value of the celebrity bathwater as an investment business for the general public to buy and resell at a profit.(but I digress)

While the episode as a whole definitely had some problems that needed to be ironed out before show date, I think that the best reason to watch this particular episode is Dyan Cannon, who appears to be having a lot of fun working with the crew and cast members. And, reminding us why she was always the very talented and likable co-star for over 50 years in TV and movies. And not just another Hollywood blonde bombshell for a few years before disappearing into the has-been celebrity abyss.
