"The Getaway, Almost" - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I wasn't so keen on the first few episodes of season 8 (although "The Fifties Show" was cool), but this one was fantastic.

The whole exchange with the trucker was priceless, and Dan's subplot was fun (his hot dog dance especially). I liked Darlene and David's movie talk. I was also really thrilled to hear "Run for Your Life" discussed, as that's my girlfriend's favorite Beatles' song based on its sheer absurdity.

How do you all feel about this one? A bright spot in season 8?

I love the joke at the end about the wife because that was Ben Thomas and at the time he was married to Roseanne

This easily was the best episode of Season 8. I was rolling when the scene with the trucker came on. The episode just before that "The Fifities Show" sucked badly.

I also liked the beginning of this episode when they put all that stuff in the trunk.

I love this episode. It's probably my 3rd favorite from season 8. I love when the cop came and Roseanne was like, "Man, they found us fast. We should have called them. Then we'd still have 15 minutes to work with."
