Even Sir Elton couldn't save it

Painful to watch. Suddenly Sylvia and Yetta are in every scene, and it's really too much. They're funny in small doses, but watching Sylvia endlessly stuffing her face is getting nauseating and Fran's endless "disguises" are silly.

Jumps the shark
nickb-2281329 August 2022
This is the episode where it could be argued the series jumps the shark. Here, Maxwell and Fran FINALLY have their first date after four seasons of dramatic sexual tension. But it was that ~sexual tension~ that viewers liked about the show. Actually having Fran and Maxwell together as a couple made sense in terms of the progression of the series, but when they actually got together, the series never seemed to be the same. That, added with the repetition of the same jokes and plotlines that didn't always make sense to viewers, caused the show's eventual cancellation and end.

Elton John makes an appearance in this episode, which could be the only saving grace.
