...all of the characters. Vera was a complete dingbat, Flo was a horndog and Alice was sugary sweet. I really didn't care too much for this episode.

It was not one of my favorite as well. I did like the line when the man came into the diner and said, "I am looking for a man." Flo replied, "Aren't we all." That was funny and the way it came out.

That was the second season the show was beginning to take off. I like the version of the theme song in that season. A little bit jazzier with some feeling to it.

I'll agree with you on the episode, but that second season theme was not one of the best. IMO

It seemed that everyone was doing what they were doing back in the first few seasons, being a certain character, the way you just described them Brian.

I guess I didn't like how Vera was made to be so stupid. She didn't realize that she was putting salt in sugar shakers, she was breaking things, dropping things...etc.

I can see a person doing that if they were in fear or very upset abt something, but to have Vera do that all the time, constantly, was annoying. I like how she has these smarts and is quick thinking for certain situations. She is a better character now than she was in the first season.

True, she has improved, but this episode was such a set back.
