Harriet's cousin and a couple of "hotties"
gregorycanfield20 February 2024
Harriet and Clarence were too far apart in age to be believable as cousins. That's one part of the problem here. The biggest problem is that Clarence simply comes across as a "punk." That was all I saw, and I had no particular interest in finding out what might have been beneath the surface. If the character was supposed to be unlikeable, the actor (Shaun Baker) definitely succeeded. How predictable it was that Eddie would think Clarence was "cool," and want to follow his lead. Another interesting segment is where we meet the "hotties" that come with the car that Clarence "borrowed." We had Vivica A Fox and Mari Morrow. Despite Vivica having become a more prominent actress, Mari was much, much "hotter." The best part of the episode is when Harriet scolds Clarence, and tells him that he needs to leave. Jo Marie Payton gave a great performance here. Closing thoughts. I think Mari Morrow is much more sexy than Vivica A Fox! Also, the limited interaction between Steve and Laura, in this episode, was not a good thing!

Jailhouse Blues (#3.15)

I really hope the show will stop having those preachy moral lessons episodes for some time. Those are not their best moments and I really don't give a damn what a churchgoer like Harriet defines as "cool"

But it had some funny moments so let's concentrate on them:

I really liked how grandma Winslow was translating for everyone the street slang of the early 90's

Another great sitcom worthy moment was when they took their pics in jail, both Eddie and Urkel look just too funny

And the final scene when "ex con" Urkel talks to Laura and she hits his tongue with the door was a good part of this episode as well

Just okay episode that falls flat for me mainly due to the undeserved and unwelcome focus on the egotistical character of the cousin.
