This episode, along with the usual disaster enhancing escapades of Uncle Joe, has a pretty good running joke about losing your wits when under too much stress ("What's your name again, lady?" "Kate!"). First it's Sam Drucker losing it as his customers defect to the new modern supermarket in Pixley; then it's Kate losing it after taking over Sam's store while he goes on vacation.
This was an okay episode overall. However, the strangest thing about it is that there's no resolution to the various problems that reach a crazy crescendo in the end. When I saw this last night, I thought for sure that the end of the episode must have been cut off during the transfer to DVD or there must be a part 2. But after checking the next episode and finding this one online, I can see that neither was the case.
So, in addition to Sam and Kate losing their minds, the writers of this episode must have as well when they tried to figure out an ending that would tie up all the loose ends.
