I've just watched this episode for the first time, and it's another true CLASSIC!
It's also a great "ensemble" episode...I LOVE those shows where the "Wings" gang gets together socially (ballgames, Trivial Pursuit nights, holiday house parties, days at the beach, etc.)....it shows that they had friendly (even "family") feelings for each other ouside of the workplace, and it adds a nice touch to the series.
Last night's episode was also one of those shows that featured great tension between Joe and Fay. In some episodes, Joe and Fay have almost an "Elderly Mother-Grown Son" relationship, and Fay really knows how to lay the guilt trips on "Sonny Boy" with her snide remarks and constant "digging".....and it eventually drives Joe to the point where he blows up and LOSES it! (Just like how many elderly mothers drive their grown sons crazy with THEIR guilt trips!).
I loved Joe's line when Fay wanted a souvenier: "Antonio, give Fay the finger!".
Yes, another EXCELLENT episode....Too bad that it was being shown at 3:30 AM EST! (See? I'm pretty good at snide "guilt trip" comments MYSELF!).
