What Is Your Favorite BENSON Scene - Page 2 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I just wish they (or rather the writers) had leaned more on their friendship than the misunderstanding/fight that occurred in the finale. Of course, since I've never seen the first part of that two-parter, maybe it did make sense. Can anyone share details on “Friends and Enemies”?

The finale also had other stuff that bothered me, e.g. I still don't know why Benson was at the Mansion waiting for the results; he should have been with his campaign supporters at party HQ.

I agree 110% - I love that scene on the boat between the Governor and Benson - so well acted by both of them, one of the main 'strengths' behind the show.

Well, to put it simply, the Governor threw his support behind Benson for Governor because he was not in the running himself, and assumed he was not eligible to run again (the constitution said something like, "No party candidate may run for a third term", blah blah blah) and Clayton brought to Gene's attention that he only won once as a party candidate-the other time he won as an independent. So it was a loophole. And Gene decided to use that loophole to run again.

Benson accused him of "flip-flopping", both on some bill regarding big business and also deciding to run for Governor at the last minute (personally, I don't see how Benson could blame him) and they had a fight. Of course they end up making up in time to see who wins the election.

I'm glad SOMEONE found out.
