This show does so much to idealize parts of the 70s.
What, they didnt have batteries before the Carter administration?
This episode sees Bonnie very horny.
Kathleen tells her its because she needs an orgasm and to invest in a personal massager.
Im not sure that exactly tracks.
During that scene, I couldnt believe what my eyes were seeing on television.
I was bowled over … by the green, filigreed tiles in Bonnies bathroom.
Its like something you would find in a boutique hotel.
How can I get some of those for myself?
Oh, were supposed to be paying attention to Bonnies sex life?
Sorry, its hard when that shower tile is so amazing.
Its not long before Adam is in the shower with Bonnie.
He comes over for some very era-appropriateafternoon delight.
She tells him that her life is very complicated.
you better un-complicate your life, he tells her.
Ill show you how.
Oh, pretty young Adam.
Doesnt he realize that hes just another complication?
Its a tale as old as time, or at leastThe Dick Van Dyke Show.
Speaking of TV sitcoms, we find out that Wally Cleaver made Alan gay.
You remember Alan, Gregs old boyfriend who Kathleen tried to set up with Diana last episode?
She calls to get it back and sucker him into a date.
Drinks are going well and it seems like theyre hitting it off.
Alan cant deny it because, well, he is.
For the first time, this all makes sense.
This is Dianas calling.
It seems like Diana is having even more fun with Alan once he comes out to her.
Later Diana is over at Kathleen and Gregs house playing a three-way game ofMonopoly.
Yes, Kathleen and Greg are having problems.
Kathleen is on a cookie diet where she gets to eat six cookies a day and lose weight.
(I would like to be on this diet too.)
She is also popping diet pills, which are really speed, because they are cookies after all.
Really the reason he wont sleep with her is because hes gay.
He plasters over it so he can seem nice and straight and have someone to finance his casting agency.
That all goes awry during one game ofMonopoly.
Diana goes to light a cigarette and reaches for Gregs matchbook.
You could almost hear the dramatic Duh duh duuuuuuunnnnnnn, in Dianas eyes when she figured it all out.
Looks like all three of these ladies are going to need a vibrator really soon.
