I liked this one!

Warning: Spoilers
I liked this one! What's more 80's then Pac man. Well Marshal is becoming Pacman fever, which was a song and term back in the day. Like the 80's there is a video game off between Marshal and Vinnie. We got many sterotypes here. Jen has a Godfather chat with Vinnie uncle to get the games pulled. (Parents back then would of got it pulled the old too much money at the arcade) Patty , Lauren, and Johnny want there friend Marshal back and get an old S N L comic another stero type the Italian Parish Priest guy to break Marshal Pacman fever. My wife would call Pac Man Fever a mish mash between dumb and stupid, but in todays preachy political T V climate I differ and call Pac refreshingly mindless. 7 stars.

Marshall Gets Hooked
Jimmy_the_Gent425 July 2020
Marshall becomes obsessed with the new Pac Man game put in the school cafeteria.

Another great though very 80s episode, many funny scenes. It begins with Muffy announcing Vinnie's uncle donated some video games. She says the money will go to the Guatemalan child the school adopted, she often refers to that in the series. Marshall gets totally hooked on the Pac Man game spending all of this quarters. Vinnie loses to Marshall and Jennifer thinks Vinnie is ignoring her. Another funny scene has Jennifer trying to "seduce" Marshall, even though the thought makes her sick. She tells him he can touch her elbow. Jennifer also visits Vinnie's uncle which turns into a "Godfather" parody. Father Guido Sarducci (Don Novello) a frequent "Saturday Nigh Live" guest at the time shows up to save Marshall.
