At this stage in the game, it has been a little over two years since someone uploaded the third season episode "Samantha's Protest" onto "Youtube". This was after I poured my heart out about how crazy I was about this episode and how anxious I was to get reaquainted with it! I will always be very thankful towards this respondee! In any event, in much more recent times, a bunch of episodes of the "Honeymooners" has been uploaded onto this site. Although I had nothing to do with these episodes being uploaded, I have had a lot of fun watching them and I have already posted a bunch of different comments on these videos. Well, last night I watched an episode called the "Hot Dog Stand". In my opinion, there was something about the ending of that story that I found very similar to the ending of "Samantha's Protest". The comparison has to do with the secondary plot of "Samantha's Protest". Katie spent the duration of the whole episode flurting her butt off with the handsome boy from the protest just to learn that he was taking Samantha to a movie the next day! Well, in this episode, Ralph and Ed invested all of the money, time and effort they could handle to open a hot dog stand in New Jersey. They spent all of opening day standing there and got one customer! Even though he had already paid a dime for his hot dog, he lost his apetite when Ed told him that his main job was working in the sewer! Then along came a night watchman of a local construction site. The man said that the building that was going up was going to employ between thirty to forty people. Ralph and Ed thought that it was going to be a factory or office building with lots of hungry workers. They really thought that they were on Easy Street until the watchman told them that the building to be has a Howard Johnson! In between the time that they learned about the building and the time that the man hit them with the reality of the situation, Ralph and Ed were about as giddy as Katie was when she thought that her flurtatious behavior had finely paid off! I guess you could say that Samantha was the night watchman of the eighties!
