Turned out to be an amusing show.

In this humorous show, the cheap Paul has moved to Harlem to save money. And now his has embraced the whole concept of the black community. Paul begins talking slang, wearing African clothing and even feeling the pain of the African-American community. Needless to say Janelle is not very happy with Paul trying to be black.

Also in this episode, Mike is going to take a few days vacation and let City Hall run itself. All that is scheduled is an Olympic Torch run in which the Mayor is to make one trip around City Hall as a symbolic gesture. But as expected, the one thing on the agenda turns horribly wrong.

The writing for the episode was brilliant. There is not much that is politically correct in this show which adds to the fun. Richard Kind does a nice job as he integrates into the African-American style of living. Good watch.
