The re-run that was not to be
Tomorrow, we’ll talk about “Valentine’s Day Massacre,” the repeat ABC’s chosen for this week’s showing. Today, though, let us mourn “Something Ida This Way Comes,” the episode that was originally scheduled for July 29, then cruelly bumped.
There are parts of that episode I won’t be sad to miss, and the promo above centers on two of them: Anything involving Chad and Kevin, and that silly “sex tape becomes part of a birthday tribute” plot. Plus, Marian Ross did not endear herself to me with Ida. Yikes.
But I was looking forward to the jokes about the mid-level package that turned out to be the Medieval package. The extensive closet drinking. The big blow-up in the kitchen, with Kitty outing two brothers at once. And all the endless snarky family interaction.
It’s not the same as actually getting to watch the episode, but these three videos — viewable on YouTube, but not postable here — can give a little taste, anyway. Please enjoy, courtesy of YouTube poster RogueRaven07:
- Party #1: Storebought cake and a lovely frame!
- Nora getting surprised, although not so much
- Kitty and the senator discussing shoes
