Borrows from other episodes

A terrific episode even though most scenes are very similar to other TAGS episodes. Howard (Jack Dodson) plays the milquetoast to the hilt. Another stellar appearance by Allan Melvin as Clyde Plaunt. Ironic he's in town working on a sewer line. Episode is loaded with funny classic scenes. Shame pretty Millie (Arlene Galonka) was only in 2 episodes. Andy plays dumb not being in tune to the friction between Howard and Clyde. Even right before his eyes in the diner. In a really funny ending Andy turns a blind eye to Howard being sucker punched. One of season 8's best episodes.
