Featured review
Fewer jokes than usual....
Joe inexplicably decides to buy Alice something nice. So, he tells her he's going to get her a new oven and is sure he can get it wholesale. However, his money-saving ideas naturally end up costing the McDoakes' a small fortune.
Aside from introducing Frank Nelson to the series, there isn't a lot to make me want to recommend this one. Nelson is a face and routine you no doubt have seen if you watched a lot of 1950s and 60s television, as he played essentially the same oily, smart-allecky and annoying salesman who always said 'yes' in a strange and elongated manner. Worth seeing but not an installment I could consider a must-see.
