Odd Man In (#8.20)
ComedyFan201011 November 2013
Warning: Spoilers
Carl doesn't have enough poker players and Harriet offers to play. Only Carl is very dismissive at her because she is female and keeps on making fun of her. Harriet wins but Carl reacts grumpy.

Eddie asks Steve to take over his shift at work, but Steve's clumsiness causes trouble and Eddie is fired.

There is a common problem with this episode: it has been done too much already. We have seen Carl being sexist in many episodes just like we saw Eddie being ungrateful and selfish to Steve. The joke is dying out. By this time one would expect the characters to have learned their lesson or writers to have another idea. At least Carl started apologizing by himself, so there is some progress

Impossible Poker Hand in Episode!
noxcovenant10 November 2008
As the large and rotund Carl flipped over his cards he brazenly said "Full House, 10's over 7's". Fair enough.

But then sassy and black Harriette said NU UH and proclaimed she had "Full House, Aces over Jacks".

Again, fair enough ... IF you ignore the fact that it's impossible to have both of these hands in a poker game. Either Carl has 10's over 7's or Harriette has A's over J's, they can't both have these full houses.

Proof: Let's assume that Carl had Pocket 10's. If he had 10's over 7's, the community card would have to look like this: 10-7-7-?-?. That would leave only two cards for Harriette 2 cards to complete her full house and that's not enough.

Conclusion. Harriette is a lying **** and she just wanted to embarrass Carl in front of his bosses.

Conclusion #2: I'm the biggest loser in the world, and I'm clearly very depressed at the moment. No one will ever think to click on Family Matters season 8 episode 20 because frankly Family Matters is starting to get stale at this stage. Eddie has turned into a manslut, and Laura looks butch. Urkel is still cool though. Wow, are you still reading my post? That's a strong sign that you may also not have a life.

Bye
