    Myrtle's swan song

    I didn't find the Cousin Myrtle thing very interesting. Knowing that it was Jaleel playing the part (and making moves on Eddie) gave the whole thing a creepy feel. I did like the scene in the mall, with Laura and Maxine helping Myrtle get a new look. Laura and Maxine look ultra-sexy, perhaps underscoring that Myrtle never could. It also looked like Maxine might have gone without a certain support garment. Cherie Johnson pushing the envelope a little! Wow!
