Fantastic Phyllis Lindstrom
Rrrobert4 December 2019
Fantastic Phyllis episode.
Phyllis is flabbergasted when Lars asks her to cut her spending. When it is revealed they are nearly broke Phyllis tries to look for a job but she has no useful qualification, no experience, no practical skills.
Every scene sparkles in this episode.
It features Doris Roberts, Phyllis in some fantastic costumes, and another peek inside the Lindstrom apartment.
This was Phyllis's final MTM episode before moving to her spinoff series, the premise of which pivoted on the low finances / lack of job skills angle.
