"TERMINAL JEALOUSY"....A "Roy" MASTERPIECE! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I was HOWLING at this episode!

It was really quite silly....just a series of practical jokes from Roy, but I think that it was one of his finest episodes.

Too many times the episodes that feature Roy involve heavy situations....Roy's son announces that he's gay, Roy visits his ex-wife who wants no part of him, etc.

However, THIS episode just had good old-fashioned (if somewhat sadistic) LAUGHS that the whole cast could be part of.

Roy's straight-faced "setting up" of his victims, his cracking up laughing afterwards, and his attempts to STIFLE his laughter when his practical joke victims were around, were PRICELESS....It was Roy Biggins at his absolute BEST!

Yeah, I love Roy's laugh. Anyone remember the old Hannah Barbera cartoons with the car races? There were the characters Dick Dasterdly and his dog Mutley...well Roy's laugh sounds almost like Mutley's.

yes, it was a really funny episode, and I have to admit that Roy was really funny. lol.

Brian was funny with his bruised tailbone. lol. I know how that feels- I broke my tailbone 3 times when I was younger. one time I was sledding and i went off a jump and landed on my ass on a rock, and then another time i was swinging on a swing, and it broke, and I landed on my tailbone on the edge of the swing, and i broke it another time, i can't remember how- oh! i remember it was just about 3 years ago, actually- we had just gotten hardwood floors in our dining room, and i forgot how slippery they were, and i took a running leap at my brother, but i slid on the floor and went FLYYYYYYING and landed on my ass. yeah. A broken tailbone is painful. I was walking funny for weeks every time (not as bad as Brian, but almost. lol), and especially the first time, I could barely sit for a few weeks, and then it got sore after i sat for too long, for about a year after. ouch! ..oh, this is funny- the first time i broke it, I was about 12, so my mom took me to the doctor, and my brother came with us, and my doctor said that I probably broke it, but there wasn't really anything i could do about it except wait for it to heal. and well, my brother was probably 9 years old at the time, if I was 12, and he says to the doctor, "ARE YOU GONNA GIVE HER A TUSHY DONUT?!!" hahaha my doctor cracked up. it was great.

lol anyway, back to the episode...

I liked when Helen told off the health inspector woman. that was cool. hehehe

Not to get gross here, but last night I fell asleep and missed the first 5 minutes of the show. I woke up and watched the rest of it.
However, I also had the VCR recording it, and I watched the entire taped episode today. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that Brian's ailment was a hurt tailbone....the way that he was walking around in pain and sitting on that rubber donut, I honestly thought that he was suffering from a bad case of hemmorroids when I was watching it last night....and while I was watching, I kept thinking to myself, "I can't believe that the "Wings" writers gave Brian THAT ailment!".
