Everyone's Fantasy

This has a great premise, but it could have been better. Lou, Murray, and Ted are having drinks in Lou's office and the subject comes around to Mary. What would it be like to be married to her. The first is the weakest where Murray, with thick black hair, imagines them living in poverty in a rustic cabin where he works on his novel. She is pregnant and working three jobs to support his career. Ted is with her on their honeymoon and all his insecurities are portrayed. She looks beautiful and sexy and she won't do anything with him. The third one is great. Lou and Mary are celebrating their fiftieth wedding anniversary. Murray looks like Wally Walrus with a thick white mustache. Ted is bald too and just as dumb and forgetful. Mary and Lou are really funny as he snarls at her and she just listens. I wish a little more thought had gone into the episodes. The writing was a bit weak.

A bit flat

Murray, Ted and Lou imagine what it would be like to be married to Mary, and we get three fantasy sequences.

Unfortunately all are silly, and a bit dull and laboured.

This is a 'special' episode unlikely to be made under normal circumstances. It was probably a bit of fun for those making the show in its final weeks of production.
