“Take My Wife, For Example”

A powerful divorce lawyer comes to Blue Moon to hire David and Maddie to try and help her fix the marriage of her most recent client.

As Dave and Maddie were following the husband, they had a long conversation about certain aspects of their relationship. Maddie called David a hard kisser while David told Maddie that she had never gotten him a present.

This led to several jokes with a car that Maddie gifted to David that he hated and David practicing kissing with the office staff.

One of my favorite parts of the episode was lawyer Betty Russell, played by four-time Emmy Award winner Colleen Dewhurst. Dewhurst won a couple of those Emmys for her role of Murphy Brown’s mother on the CBS comedy series. She was also very successful on stage in the theater. She was a gripping actor and this supporting performance was a good example.

The episode kicked off with Dave and Maddie trying to discover why there were fewer viewers than before and ways that they could increase viewership. Maddie wanted ‘socially relevant programming, exploring the rich fabric of universal truth in a vibrant human way’ and David wanted hooters. It was a funny intro.

This episode was light and fluffy, with some funny moments. It was a fine watch.
