Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, and Frank Costanza

This mildly entertaining episode has several familiar faces, which include Marion Ross, Audra Lindley(I was impressed with her performance), Bernard Fox(he's in everything), Berlinda Tolbert(The Jeffersons), and real life couple Anne Meara and Jerry Stiller. I'll mention a few tidbits for all 3 stories, but not too much, just some things that stand out.

First off, Isaac has had dental work, and his mouth is picking up a local radio station. Seems stupid, right? Apparently, this has happened before from what I read, and not just to Isaac. He mentions "a mouthful of Led Zeppelin" to Gopher, I believe. He also has a cool poster of Jimi Hendrix in his suite; in fact, I think I might have had the same poster many moons ago.

The segment about the couple renewing their vowels only stood out to me because Rose(Meara)refused to say that she would "obey" her husband Tony(Stiller). She even kicks him out of their suite after a mild argument. I thought this was a tad unrealistic, considering they've been married with kids for several years, and now she decides to nitpick around that word.

Lastly, I was very impressed with Lindley's straight performance, considering I only really knew her as Helen Roper. She and Ross had decent chemistry together as sisters taking the cruise together.
