Funny references to "The Facts of Life Goes to Paris", Ann Miller in "Sugar Babies" and "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" gives this a sense of nostalgia in this very funny episode where Fran is reunited with an old classmate Judith Hoag who sets her up with her older husbands equally older friend, veteran film star Efrem Zimbalist Jr. Digs at Zimbalist's advanced age includes him nearly falling down every time someone pats him on the back a bit too hard. "Miss Fine, he makes Stonehedge look young" a jealous Maxwell says, and the tongue in cheek is very witty. There's also a very funny dig from Niles to CC about her opinion on Fran's dress, as well as some great physical comedy involving Fran on a shaky plane trying to eat a rubber lobster. Hoag is very funny and Zimbalist still very handsome, showing off a glorious roof covered in snow. Of course, the point of the show is to indicate how much Fran & Maxwell need each other, but they keep missing the signals that proved that.
