[QUOTE="Spooky Owl!, post: 400570, member: 57984"] Although it shouldn't impact the writing. "The 45-year Old Man" (although Ed Asner was only 41) has a loud, desperate, unfunny vibe to it that feels very "stuck on" at the of the first season -- and smells vaguely like a bad, late-'60s sitcom in that way. (The episode with Bill Daily as a hapless politician has a comparable vibe). Whenever I run across it in reruns (although I have the DVDs) I groan a little bit and may switch it off. Yet it also has a sweetly bustling, empty-finale atmosphere to it. So it depends on my mood. Yes, Slim Pickens' abode surely could have been better disguised. Unless they were trying to tell us -- gently, for 1971 -- that Mary and the station owner were shacking up.
