    Is that Mel Torme?!

    A really fun storyline as the men all vie for the affection of of one lucky lady, and Harry ends up with the shaft and Dan with a case of the cafeteria blues.
    7Hey_Sweden

    A fun, if not great, episode.

    Comedic chaos erupts among the characters when Harry, Dan, and Bull *all* show interest in the same woman: Suzanne (Caroline McWilliams, 'Benson'), who shares interests with each of them. Harry has thrown his hat into the ring upon learning that she has an extra ticket for a Mel Torme concert - and we know how he feels about Mel Torme.

    There are some fine comic moments, and some priceless one-liners as Dan fires insults at Bull ("Conehead the Barbarian!"); it's a good thing for Dan that Bull is not quicker to anger. In his effort to square things between himself, Dan & Bull, Harry ends up making a true bonehead move.

    The whole cast is great here, with the end credits going for a live-action background that provided a little something extra. And guest star McWilliams (who was married to Michael Keaton from 1982 to 1990) is sufficiently appealing to show how guys could really go for a lady like her.

    Although never truly uproarious, this engaging early episode does have some real laughs going for it.

    Seven out of 10.

    • Goofs
      At the 7:00 mark, Judge Stone goes through the defendant scalper's briefcase of tickets, which is neatly arranged. One second later, the camera snaps to the court clerk, Lana Wagner. The following second, the camera snaps back to Judge Stone and the briefcase, of which the tickets are thoroughly disheveled for no apparent reason.

      Public Defender Liz Williams: I always make it a rule. Never get involved with people I work with.

      Lana Wagner: You work with rapists, junkies, muggers, and flashers.

      Public Defender Liz Williams: That does make it easier.

    • Crazy credits
      The end credits have a different background for this episode. Instead of the courthouse, they show Harry and his little homemade Mel Tormé concert.
