Under One Roof - Season 1, Episode 10 - "Handiman"

On this week's new episode of Under One Roof, Calvester finds he has to maintain full time employment or go back to jail. But when he fakes a disability to get a job at a lingerie store, Cali Cal's got to work overtime to keep up the charade. (MyNetworkTV.com)

Marmot: Under One Roof? I don't think there's a lot to say there.

Manatee: There really isn't, is there.

Marmot: Nothing we haven’t said before.

Manatee: My only comment was, why were there so many ex-cons trying to get a job at a mall lingerie store at the exact same moment? Oh and why was the brother taking photos of girls' butts and getting away with it?

Marmot: Every time I've been in a Victoria's Secret, there's always been male ex-cons working there. It's just a fact of life. And the customers always walk around the store, modeling for everyone. Oh, and there's always a creepy guy taking pictures. It's just a mirror of reality, this show. Do you think Under One Roof got some kind of package deal when they bought the sets from Saved By the Bell? Like buy a set, get 2 scripts free? Because I'm pretty sure the plot of this episode was also used on that show.

Manatee: I was thinking they bought this set from The Facts of Life (later years) and changed Mrs. Garrett's shop into a lingerie store. Though I don't doubt that Zack pulled a handicapped stunt like this, maybe more than once.

Marmot: I want to set their ugly house on fire. What was the deal with Su Ho this week? They thought she was stealing, but she was actually just cleaning the jewelry as a birthday gift? What?

Manatee: I know.. That story line made less sense then Cali Cal in a wheelchair. Something that annoyed me last night too was the daughter. She is so over the top dumb, it's starting to get on my nerves

Marmot: It's just now starting? You have a very high pain threshold.

Manatee: I guess I do. I want to jump through the TV and knock her out.

Marmot: One thing that I was shocked at: the mom calling her kids "mulattos". Is that an acceptable term? I thought that was banned or something.

Manatee: I think it's the second time on this show they have used that term. And no, I don't think it is an acceptable term.

Marmot: Who's writing this show? My friend Steve's racist grandpa?
