Very interesting that you both brought this up, as it was discussed at our house as well. This is a much deeper scene if you have ever experienced anything like it before (and I hope you haven't). The big boss at our company bought a new boat and invited everyone he knew to have a launching party. We noticed right away the only people there were people on the payroll. It was so sad that we hoped he wouldn't notice this, but it was pretty obvious. I think this scene did a nice job of showing OJ as he begins to realize that the only people left around him, like the waiter, were paid to be there. And when the money runs out, those people will be gone as well.

GreekGeek, I don't remember if Beaver married Violet but in the first reunion movie, "Still the Beaver", wasn't he divorced?

ScorpiosRule, I noticed something that you may really enjoy-- especially if you like looking behind the scenes at moments that most others miss. Flipping channels yesterday and happened to land on the episode where Greg wanted to play football. Mike and Greg are having a heart to heart talk, and when the scene ends Greg is supposed to give it a "Thanks, Dad" and then walk off. But he just stands there for a second. Robert Reed gives Barry Williams a gentle pat on the lower back to remind him to move off his mark. A very small moment, but it really shows the genuine affection the actors have for each other.

Something struck everyone in our house about this season: The characters are actually relateable to people in modern society. Sounds crazy, but think about it: Tywin Lannister-- The evil boss everybody hates, and with good reason... but we all suspect that without him the company would fall apart within a year. The Lannister Dynasty-- The family that has the biggest house in town, has a wing in the hospital named after them, and yet nobody can figure out their source of income. When it all comes crashing down we find out how much debt the family really had. Cersei Lannister-- The soccer mom we are all scared of. Her kid can do no wrong and nothing is the kid's fault. Everybody is scared to get on her bad side. The Tyrells-- A family with so much money that they seem to flounder around from one bad business venture to the next (Such as marrying Tommen). Margery Tyrell-- A woman who grew up with enough money and privilege that she's never been intimidated by a woman like Cersei. TIme will tell if this will work out to her advantage or be a disaster. Tommen-- "It happened so fast" Ha-- what more can you say about Tommen.

This is another gag that falls flat-- unless you know somebody like this and then it is hilarious! We have a friend who is much too old to be wearing those shorty shorts, and people avert their eyes when he comes into the room. If you know somebody like that, then Cam's blue shorts are pretty funny. It's like, "Those shorts show so much that they actually had to blur them out!"

Love the title of this thread! And there is a lot more to Richard Kline than Three's Company. He is a Vietnam veteran and just all around good guy. The problem is that the character of Larry Dallas just didn't have a place to play a very big role in the series. There were enough wacky hijinks on the show without needing Larry to stir things up. There is one place that Richard Kline could have done a great job and that is in a "very special episode" event. I'm glad they never did that, but it would have given an opportunity for Larry to be shown as the straight man in a more dramatic role. I think that John Ritter could have pulled it off as well.

I can understand the character of Mr. Furley falling a little flat unless you know somebody like him in real life. But if you do know somebody like that-- he nailed it! In college we had an older neighbor who was exactly like this. A guy who tried too hard to be up on the latest fashions, drive the latest cars, and "discover" the latest hot spot in town. He thought he was the coolest guy to ever walk down the sidewalk, and nobody ever told him different. Why would we? He wasn't hurting anybody. Imagine those commercials: "That's not how it works. That's not how any of this works!" as Mr. Furley announces the latest innovation in technology. I'm not sure many actors could have pulled this off the way that Don Knotts did.
