. . . the episode where Fred is in the hospital, has anyone figured out why (at the beginning of the episode): why is there so much junk in the house that Hoppy (?) is tripping and falling over????? What was the house being so messy supposed to represent? Fred and Lamont's house was not normally cluttered like that. So why was Hoppy (?) falling over things in the house???? I wondered if they were trying to say that this represented the gangsters roughing up Fred but Fred supposedly got hurt out on the street somewhere and NOT in their house. So, again, my question of what in the world does this clutter in the house with people tripping over things have to do with anything? What does that add to this episode??????? BTW, IMHO, this episode has to be one of the all time worst of the series. I changed the channel after about three minutes of watching that tripe. i.e., three minutes = about 4 times where Fred had to blow that &$*# whistle and the cops came running in and falling all over themselves. Once might have been amusing but they seriously over-used that bit about Fred blowing the whistle . . . WAY OVERDONE.

I didn't like this episode, either. It was stupid and it didn't make sense.
