    My Choice For Critics

    Of the two episodes featuring critics, this was my favourite. In "Critics Choice" Jason LaFarge comes off as a real sleaze. (Still a good episode though). This episode has more laughs. Between the opening scene at the Bistro, Larry helping with Jack's letter, and of course, trying to retrieve the letter.

    We don't get to see it very often as but it was nice to see the sexy Janet. Very sexy the way she sits down on Patrick Townsend's desk while trying to provide a distraction for Jack.

      Larry Dallas: [Clears throat]

      [Dictating letter]

      Larry Dallas: "Dear Sleazebucket,"

      Janet Wood: Sleazebucket?

      Larry Dallas: Would you type?

      [Dictating letter]

      Larry Dallas: It is slime like you that makes this world stink. Only vermin would take advantage of their position to rob innocent people of their outcomes, period. Here's hoping that all the scummy things you've done to others, comma will come back to you ten times over. Your friend, Jack Tripper, today's date.

      Jack Tripper: Thanks a lot, Larry.

      Janet Wood: I'll put in the mail tomorrow morning.

      Jack Tripper: How did you come up with all that stuff so fast?

      Larry Dallas: Oh it was easy. I got the same letter down at the used car lot today.
