(Besides, the scene where Fred discovers that all his late uncle left him was his delinquent bills is priceless...he wails to Elizabeth, "Honey, if you see a man with a peanut-shaped head, with a puddle of water in the middle of it, whatever you do, DON'T LET HIM IN!!")

I enjoyed the whole episode. It's one of my personal faves. Also loved the look on Lamont's face when Fred brought out those chicken wings. lol
I can see what Solomon is saying in a way. Some people don't like the episodes that only have Fred and Lamont in it (I enjoy them all), but the episodes did center around the 'hit' or 'miss'. Of course we had many hits that had just Fred and Lamont in it, and we have the hits that had more characters in it. Then we have the 'misses' that only had Fred and Lamont in it that weren't very good or episodes that had that interaction factor and it still wasn't a very good episode.
Take 'All in the Family' for example. You have one hilarious show if it had Archie, Edith, Gloria, and Mike in it. Some of the episodes that only had Mike and Gloria in it aren't that great imo. I remember one episode (I think they were trying to do a spinoff with two of Mike and Gloria's friends) the episode had Mike, Gloria, Billy Chrystal's character, and his girlfriend. Awful episode if you ask me.
