This is an excellent episode with lots of good screen time for the lovely Gretchen Corbett as Beth, always an asset to any episode! A couple classic old automotive clunkers show up in this entry, with Weeks driving a hideous AMC Pacer, and he and Jim making a get-away in an equally horrible (and cleverly pinched) Dodge Colt, complete with faux wood paneling AND a roof rack, that Jim describes to t more
This is an excellent episode with lots of good screen time for the lovely Gretchen Corbett as Beth, always an asset to any episode! A couple classic old automotive clunkers show up in this entry, with Weeks driving a hideous AMC Pacer, and he and Jim making a get-away in an equally horrible (and cleverly pinched) Dodge Colt, complete with faux wood paneling AND a roof rack, that Jim describes to the wedding parking valet as a "company car"! The amazing thing is the way the Pacer speeds through scenic residential curves eluding police pursuit. One scene is clearly sped up through camera trickery to make it appear to be going even faster. By the way, the Pacer must have had a Maaco paint job at some time or other, as the blue exterior is revealed to be a re-paint over its original red color when the door is opened!Rocky and Jim have another precious exchange of dialog around minute 23 (on the TV broadcast, not the DVD) when Jim is preparing lunch "al fresco" for the two of them:Rocky: (suspicious) "Sayyyyy, these... these potatoes real?"Jim: (defensively) "Whaddaya MEAN 'real'?"Rocky: (plaintively) "You know I don't like those ready-made potatoes all cold, and frozen."Jim: (dripping sarcasm) "The Galloping Gourmet.... Just EAT, will ya?"
