The Last Straw

Here's a show that just ran too long. This movie seems more like a retrospective on the series. Flashbacks from older episodes would have helped with all the recollections. I marked this episode a little higher since its heart is in right place as usual. It's not the same having Olivia's cousin and her grandchildren in the house. I didn't miss seeing the fake John Boy in this one. Story even seemed a rehash of earlier story lines. John is always having trouble finding good help. And yes the man likes to shun responsibility from time to time. And others get caught up in his carousing. Even the pool playing has been done better in earlier episodes. Of course we knew that already.
