Rob shoots off his big mouth!
planktonrules4 December 2023
Rob is invited to appear on a controversial talk show, "Ray Murdock's X-Ray". He has no desire to go on this program and is afraid the host will barbecue him. However, Ray assures Rob the interview will be friendly, and Rob foolishly agrees to be on the show. Not surprisingly, the interview ISN'T friendly and Rob ends up talking about the dopey things Laura has done. When he realizes what he's done, he's sure Laura will kill him! So, his plan is to keep her from watching the show and hoping no one tells her about the botched interview.

It's interesting that a later episode features Laura on a talk show...and spilling the beans about Alan Brady being bald! Here is Rob's chance to be stupid..she'll get hers later!

So is it any good? Yes. Fortunately, unlike many other Laura and Rob episodes, Laura is more reasonable and she had every right to be angry...yet she seemed less angry than you'd expect...which I like. Overall, a very cute and enjoyable episode.

Carl Reiner has been quoted as saying he regrets making Laura into a ditzy woman in this episode. At first she's hurt by Rob's description of her on a talk show (the actor playing Ray Murdock was good) but then she decides she loves being ditzy and it just falls flat, IMO. A rare misfire of a great series.

Here we have yet another episode with MTM freaking out and being a general pain in the rear towards her loyal hubby,good old Rob Petrie.

Rob goes on a tv talk show and gets interviewed by a notoriously rude and obnoxious host. Wife Laura naturally does not like how Rob handled the interview and she throws yet another hissy-fit.

Rob is a fool to put up with this baloney.
