Exactly- that is very fun to watch. Isabel was 60 years old then but she had great spunk. It was while watching this episode that I really just how good an actress she was. Many people thought Sherman and Marla Gibbs were the best actors in the show, but Isabel was right up there and could hold her own.

I also love the Halloween episode with the killer bunny, when a trick-or-treater and his mother came by and Weezy didn't have candy, so she was giving them everything in the apartment to keep them there because the killer was behind the door (even butter "scotch"!). The thing I loved about Isabel's slapstick moments were that they were unexpected. You knew that Sherman and Marla were going to play off of each other every week, but you didn't expect it from Isabel because she was always the level-headed, take-no-nonsense character that I appreciated (because that matches most with my personality).

Now the Halloween ep was not one of my favorite ones from season 5

The Halloween episode was in Season 6. When I was younger I used to be scared of that rabbit. It was one of few episodes that had an eerie feeling to it (the other one that comes to mind is when they went on that mystery cruise and everyone was being murdered). I was using that episode as an example of Louise acting differently from her usual character in a very funny way.

The killer bunny episode is very entertaining. Iasabel and Paul Benedict are very good in that one. Other very good ones that Isabel did good in (because she broke character a bit and did something unexpected) were And the Winner Is in year 10 where she loses as volunteer of the year to Mrs Van Morris and Age is Nothing But A Number in the last season where Louise tries to get the valley girl tenant evicted. Isabel supposedly said that the Sammy Davis Jr episode in year 10 was her favorite and Louise does slapstick in that one, but it just seems like a very mediocre Lucille Ball meets a celebrity ripoff type of episode.
