Episode 20 introduces Judge Anthony Petrillo
kevinolzak21 April 2010
Episode 20 begins with Eunice finding an exit off the rainy ledge,with the room's occupant(Milt Oberman,who plays a different character in episode 22)believing she's a local hooker making a housecall(he claims to like the wet look).My choice for funniest scene in any entry follows: Jodie secretly stashes Bob in the refrigerator in order to discuss with Chuck all the nasty notes he's been receiving,all signed by Bob.The psychotic Chuck is totally unable to carry on a conversation as himself,utilizing a grapefruit,a banana,and an English muffin to speak on Bob's behalf.A frustrated Jodie is forced to give up as Burt walks in,ready to prepare a breakfast of bagels,until the sight of Bob in the fridge drives him into hysterics(Bob,shivering with cold,remarks how the little light stays on!) Danny is exhausted from showing his gratitude to Elaine,and is stunned when her father informs him that the favor he's got to deliver is to marry Elaine(he asks if it's too late to kill his stepfather!) Mary breaks the news to Burt that he must be committed in order to guarantee that he can return to her a cured man.Jessica and Chester meet the prosecuting attorney,a grinning Mr.Franklin(Howard Hesseman),actually the twin brother of the defending attorney who turned them down.Veteran character actor Charles Lane debuts as Judge Anthony Petrillo,who lost a 40,000 dollar investment because of Chester,but insists it has no bearing on this trial("what's 40,000 dollars?")

A shivering Bob just made my day.
Sleepin_Dragon12 November 2023
Danny is worn out by Elaine's advances on him, but cannot escape, Jodie has had enough of poison pen letters being sent from Bob, he decides to take action. Jessica prepares for her big day in court.

It's a wonderful mix of comedy and sentiment, the latter comes from that wonderful scene where Mary opens up to Burt about how she's feeling about him, and the major laugh comes from that wonderful scene where Jodie stuffs Bob into the fridge.

Jessica seems to be in massive trouble with The Judge, it's not looking good for her, talk about jumping in with two feet. Such a funny scene.

It's simmering away nicely, can't wait to see who the killer is, my money is on either Chester or Corrine, I can't decide which just yet.

Bob answered one of those baffling questions, does the light stay on, thank you Bob!

8/10.
