A resurrected episode.

Warning: Spoilers
I understand this episode disappeared for a while from the series, dealing as it does with menstruation, but it's not nearly as raunchy as some of the other episodes.

The Bundies and their neighbors, the Rhodes, rent a cabin in the woods for a few days of fishing. The women -- all three of them -- menstruate at the same time. That this happens among women living together is an established scientific fact. Experiments have ruled out causes connected with odor so there's something else going on. It's all a pretty mysterious business because no one completely understands pheromones and there is no evident selective advantage to synchronized menstruation.

Anyway, there aren't that many jokes built around it. The women glower and complain but not in particularly amusing ways. Most of the humor comes from the cabin's being surrounded by wild animals who attack Steve's Mercedes and Al's body. And those gags aren't outstanding either.

However, this IS after all an episode from the series when it was at its most imaginative and outrageous and is worth catching.
