The Jeffersons: Men of the Cloth (1982)
LIONEL IS GONE
Jenny announces that lionel can't go to the baptism because he is in japan with a new job assignment/project.
I believe the last episode that lionel filmed was the blazing episode.
My Three Sons: You Can't Go Home (1970)
This episode exhibits all the problems with My Three Sons
This series has some good episodes but many so so ones.
One of the biggest problems, especially after Season 3--the sons don't really have consistent friends. Sudsy and Hank both exited. Tim had already exited by the end of Season 2. Other than Ernie (who became a brother) and some short lived or rarely seen people--the sons have no consistent friends (Gordon for Ernie is a short lived exception).
Further, beginning in Season 10--Chip and Ernie barely appear in many episodes and especially in the case of Chip don't appear at all. The show lost its My Three Sons feel (even though Katie, Barbara, Polly, and Dodie are great additions imo--its just that the three sons aren't really much of the show season 10 and after).
In this episode specifically--Chip and Ernie don't appear except in a clip from an old episode. Robbie visits Bryant Park and who is he going to visit? After Hank, he doesn't have a friend from there that we really know of. Robbie's "old friends" in this episode are ones did not appear before. Who is the groom? Generic guy we don't know.
It all adds up to a lifeless episode--with pictures of their old house being the only actually touching moments and that kind of epitomizes the series as a whole as it continued and finally crashed bad in season 12 when Robbie left, Chip appears in maybe 1/3 of the episodes, and Fred MacMurray doubled as his Scottish cousin or whatever.
Bewitched: Samantha's Pet Warlock (1970)
good when gladys and abner appear--the rest is not so good
the good in this episode: --gladys and abner are hilarious in this episode--how gladys reacts to the dog and the dog plays tricks on her
the not so good in this episode: --ashley-the dog/warlock--has just played another warlock in love with serena some 5ish episodes previous. they really really needed a different actor. --larry tate claiming darrin has a dog, then creating a description of the dog that is impossible to get. larry would have known to describe a dog that nearly anyone could find/own if he really had to show it. season 5, 6 and especially 7 and 8 make larry tate to be really irritating and absurdly willing to agree with anything for money. he should lean that way--not so blatantly and obviously--it undermines the joke. --this episode is a bit too much like a season 2 episode which was much better--in part because of the great job richard dreyfuss did in that episode. still with a different dog/warlock actor and larry tate acting as intelligent as he is--this episode could have been a winner.
