YES !!!! So for that reason alone , not having to see Alex anymore after this makes The Honeymoon a good episode! LOL !

It’s too much like that Paris episode. Let’s go on a trip/honeymoon but one of us gets sick/injured.

And basically the same thing happened on Gimme a break , Jonathan and Julie's honeymoon . He got injured on a ski vacation , same as Sam . Not skiing . I think Jonathan fell down in the ski lodge gift shop or something.

But the ODAAT ep.came before the GAB ep. By a few years.

You guys know the hotel bellboy guy in the Honeymoon was also Mr. Butterfield, Chuck's Dad in The Runaways , season 2 right? He always plays a goofy character.

And the owner of the sporting goods store in the robbery episode.

Yeah. I think I thought maybe LA , getting mixed up with Max and Julie flying there for the underwater birth. So that was pretty fresh on my mind. But not sure why I thought maybe Hawaii? I doubt there would even be a direct flight from Indy to Hawaii?

Oh yeah! He gets around. And speaking of Gimme a break , he was a regular on GAB playing a cop, Officer Simpson. Now this guy TOTALLY does not seem like a cop , that was a weird casting.

Grandmom romano telling alex......."tell me who is getting married or I will punch your lights lol



But the 2nd ep was the worst of season 8. I really didnt want to look at ann and sam in bed on their honeymoon. And that was actually the season finale for season 8??? weak very weak. They might have been in bed talking half the ep

Second time around was a good episode . I liked how it brought the whole family together.

Max holding the wedding cake in the elevator in the middle of Ann and Sam fighting , and Max had no idea what was even going on !

And The Honeymoon was pretty funny I thought at first , but could have done a little side story , what was going on back at the apt. It got a little boring after a while.

The TV trope of the goofy cop. Think Car 54 Where Are You, Murray on The Odd Couple, people like that. Sitcom cop, not drama cop.

I got to see " Sisters". I found a few full episodes of ODAAT on YouTube and Sisters was among them.

Love it. One of my all time favorite episodes.wow 400 dollars rent for a 2 bedroom house. I looked it up 400 dollars in 1982 had the buying power of 1,368 in 2026. Still a good price. You can barely even rent a one bedroom apt.for that price these days. In LA, a small old studio apt.rents for about that much.
