    But you can buy Dan

    Not a bad episode, some funny bits, highlight being Phil - Dan's helpless flunky - taking some photos of Dan. And some nice conversation between Mac and Christine. Which brings us to the auction.... Dan gets sold to an over lecherous old society lady but we knew it was coming.

    The annoying thing is Christine and Tony's marriage on the rocks, I'm no fan of Markie Post's character but gee why can't they have her have a good relationship. Tony doesn't have to turn up in any episodes like he already doesn't now.

    Roz comes off the best as she gets her hand on a handsome weatherman. Annoyingly Bull was supposed to be up for auction too but we never see it. Too much going on in this episode except a lot of laughs.
