I remember when this episode was first aired and I hated Dana as the love interest. Fast forward 30 odd years and I enjoyed the episode and liked Dana. I could see the attraction but it becomes obvious to me that the relationship was doomed to fizzle. Even though she wasn’t a good prospect for a serious relationship, TM seems finally open to a long term commitment.

The police lieutenants office was the same one as Downtown Brown's on Simon & Simon. Even had the same pictures on the wall.

Decent episode...I like Dana Delany. China Beach was not too far off in her future...a great show. As for the comedy routines...I am thinking maybe the writers don't want to throw away good jokes as an aside on a television show when they can be sold for good money.

6.5 (Not So Good)
(both parts)

Dana Delaney is charming and delightful. But the show's a mess. Agreed on the many points in that regard already made.

The interior of the comedy club stage (but, surely, not the manager's office) and the exterior with the black wall with all the fake celebrity autographs is The Comedy Store, which is still running in LA.

TM has a big bandage on the OUTSIDE of his clothing? What good is it doing over two layers of fabric?

Didn't she give him her card or write down her address in a prior scene outside the comedy club?

More comments in the Part 2 thread.

Scored Pretty good on both L.A 1 & 2 some years ago.

I must say that they have grown on me (it´s a two hour movie on my european DVD).

Really entertaining, and the love interest between Tom & Cynthia did work this time for me, and nice with a subplot with TC, Higgins and Rick back "home".

I would score a 8.5 now, Very good indeed.
Onion´s extra?
