"now i know how a jehova's witness feels"

"the wonder years" star, dan lauria, stars as a cop investigating the deaths of two brothers, that both died over a portrait of maddie. as the story goes, the portrait is really a guide to a real treasure, "the duchess", a stolen painting from three years earlier.
after finding the stolen article, dave and maddie find out that the cop wants it for himself. he chases them with a gun into an auto paint garage before getting caught by a shelf full of falling paint cans.
an enjoyable episode. keeps ya wondering why a stranger with a fascination for maddie paints her portrait without her knowing about it.

Did this episode have a scene at the end where they figure out where the painting is by looking in a mirror or something?

If so, I liked this episode a lot...especially that part.

yeah, maddie figured out by the reflection in the mirror when she was about the same distance from the mirror as in the painting. the big arrow from the sign pointed to the gutter where it was hidden.

OMG!! I loved this episode!!! I only saw it once and that was more than a year ago...

Yes, Steph. I love the opening scene between David and Maddie as they celebrate their first real profits in the company. It is cute, funny, flirty, and sets up one of the underlying conflicts of propriety and acceptable sexual behavior in society. And this I think ties in rather subtly the connection between the title of the episode and Henry James novel "The Portrait of a Lady."

That novel, if you have read it, examines ideals of propriety, society, marriage, etc by studying closely the words and behaviors of a young society woman who tries to flaunt her freedom in the face of what she considers restraint. Anyway, this isn't the place for a long literary discussion, but I do so enjoy applying the title references to the episodes.

I too enjoy the scenes with Maddie and David tied up in the artist's loft.... Maddie's slithering, David's admiration of her, and then the location of the painting and the paint fight. This is a really good episode to me.

I think the end of this eposode says enough.

M:"Could you tell me again about the poor slobs who live for me?"

D:"If you keep wearing that much make up they're gonna lose interest"

Then Madiie gives him an airkiss with her lips!!
Ooooooh I loved that!!

This episode has a very romantic touch, and very good humor.

Hey, Steph.

Did you try to resize the pic? I was just wondering, because SO only accepts avatar pictures that are under 150x150 pixels.

I like the part where paint falls over Maddie her head!

Maddie: "Why do I always get dirty on a case." (or something like that)

and then David get's covered in paint LMAO!!

Tazmania · 07-17-2004, 12:17 PM

And what do we think about the portrait?
Does it look like her?

CindyK · 07-17-2004, 04:57 PM

The painting's not bad....

I think it reminds me of this pose somewhat of Cybill

Dutchie · 07-17-2004, 05:15 PM

The painting looks like Cybill in my avatar

Tazmania · 07-17-2004, 05:58 PM
