Jack The Fence

[RDNZL808 · 9/10 · 21 April 2024]

Who knew an answering machine could cause so much trouble?

After the trio sets up a message for their new answering machine which has some funny moments, Jack is waiting for a call from a blind date Larry set up. Jack lets the call go to the answering machine and a lady leaves a message asking Jack to meet her at the Venice Roller Rink. Only it's a wrong number.

Off Jack goes to meet Rita at the roller rink. Jack thinks this is the blind date and Rita, who is a jewel thief, thinks Jack is a fence for her stolen diamonds. Rita is played by Tori Lysdahl, who you may remember from the episode "Mighy Mouth" in Season 4.

The comedic chaos begins. I won't spoil much more but...

Everyone knows John Ritter's prowess as a physical comedian. He puts on a terrific display on roller skates here. Obviously Jack can't skate. It priceless when Jack was trying to bring soft drinks to the table where Rita is sitting.

I nearly lost it when Jack asked Rita if she had enough "ice".

This episode is quite a bit of fun IMHO.

One of the best eps due to beautiful Tori Lysdahl

[bobstevens-16810 · 9/10 · 22 September 2023]

She was outstanding in her second appearance on this show. She is playing a sexy lady who is also a jewel thief. Jack goes to meet her at a roller skating rink thinking she is the blind date his friend Larry set him up with. Old TV ploy where two unconnected people who are both supposed to meet someone wrongly think the other stranger is their expected party.

Lysdahl is so very great to watch in this it is just a shame she was not in more eps of this show and put to good use like this and in her first ep ( Mighty Mouth). She exhibits sex appeal and intelligence perfectly as the beautiful but ( in a rare case) dangerous woman.
