Valentines and dust bunnies

[Jimmy_the_Gent4 · 18 March 2018]

Dick has a special Valentine's Day episode of Vermont Today with Joanna as a co host.

A funny episode with Dick inadvertently embarrassing Joanna on air as he reveals her phobia about dust bunnies. Other good moments show Michael forgetting to buy Stephanie a Valentine's gift and sending a flunky to buy something at the last minute. Larry and the Darryls also show up with a sack containing a gift for Stephanie also.

Roses Are Red, Violets Are Blue--Here

I've always loved this episode. It's Valentine's Day and Michael has Decided that Joanna will cohost Vermont Today with Dick. In his own stupid way, he makes it obvious that he doesn't want Joanna to be on the show and she is made aware of it, refusing to interact. The host, played by Jack Bannon from the Lou Grant show is Dr. Love. He asks them to tell why they fell in love and he further embarrasses her by giving out a secret fear she has. At the inn, Larry, Darryl, and Darryl show up and offer Stephanie a Valentine's present. Joanna continues being furious. So, as a peace offering, Dick goes on the air and tells an embarrassing secret about himself. Great episode.
