    Why I made an IMDb account

    It may seem foolish or even unnecessary, but this unexpected gem of a beloved TV series finally convinced me to make an IMDb account. So many wonderful and unique characters are in this show with great chemistry, not only with one another but also with the show's ambiance of "normal people."

    This episode brought out my very favorite of the Dennis and Frank characters. Thanks Sunny, the way your characters have developed has kept me laughing for years now. Incredible.

    Ty,

    John

    One of my faves

    I can't believe this episode isn't rated more highly. It's so funny. All the subplots are great. The fight milk promotional video is genius. Dennis trying to 'get off' by pretending to be Brian LeFevre is hilarious. So good.
