Bud's Stock Tip

[Jimmy_the_Gent4 · 28 January 2022]

Bud wants to invest stock in a new company.

An OK episode. Bud has some amusing scenes as he is overconfident about his stock and does some physical humor. He convinces Jim to loan him $50 to invest. However the company goes bust. Bud promises he will pay back the debt in 2 weeks. There is a touching Betty/Bud scene when she volunteers to help.

UNFORTUNATELY THIS WHOLE SHOW IS FAST GOING DOWN TO THE TUBES!

Bud has another hairbrain get rich scheme! Proving once again just how immature he remains! He is so certain he knows what he is doing once again, and yet gets himself in another jam, jumping into buying stock from a brand new company without even researching the company!

Betty once again thinks she is helping Bud when the company goes bust the next day,, but instead, is enabling him not to grow up, and honor his responsibilities, and the consequences for not doing so!

The previous seasons I found enjoyable, but since the beginning of Season 6, most of the episodes have lost their charm! It appears the writers were fast running out good subject material. What a shame, when the show started out to be such a good one!
