Scarecrow and Mrs. King (TV Series) DOA: Delirious on Arrival (1985) User Reviews

Good episode

[aramis-112-804880 · 8/10 · 4 January 2023]

Amanda eats the wrong chicken sandwich and winds up full of hallucinogens.

One problem: when shows perform dream sequences they're nothing like like real dreams. I've never done drugs but I've run very high fevers and fever dreams are done worse. Don't these writers have dreams or high fevers or drugs?

Still, this episode has fun and very nervous, moments. Even Francine is given a good moment or two. And we welcome back Lee's sleazy friend and infirmer, Augie.

The story: Lee is being harrassed by a game-playing weapons-runner but one of his games goes wrong and Amanda is the one in danger. Lesson: keep your hands off other people's oranges.

Drugged Amanda is very amusing

Amanda: I can't leave you. Lee: you got to. Where you are going I can't come. You've got a job to do. Amanda: But what about tonight? The way we feel about each other. Lee: Look, our feelings don't add up to a pile of chicken salad in this crazy mixed up world. If I went with you, you might not regret it today, next week, next year but one day you will look in the mirror and say ; "I should have asked my mother." Amanda there's something I want you to have. Something that's been in my family for three generations. A little something to remember me by(he gives her his signed baseball) Amanda: I could never forget you. Lee:We will always have Arlington. Here's looking at you kid. Long romantic "dreamy" kiss. Then Amanda wakes up from her drug induced dream. How BB and KJ kept a straight face during this scene is beyond me. Hilarious. The camera is on them the whole time. I loved it. This episode has some amusing stuff going on after Amanda is drugged after eating Lee's chicken salad sandwich.
