This week we dive into S2E12 "Surprise, Surprise". Felix throws his daughter Edna a party for her 10th birthday. The surprise for Edna is his hiring of Sherman The Clown.
Among the topics we cover are 1) Garrett's personal connection to one of the writers of this episode who had a bad experience with Tony Randall working on the show 2) the meaning of "x-rated movies" in the early 1970s and 3) why its weird that Oscar refers to Edna as "your kid" when talking to Felix.
CORRECTION: In the episode we say that Pamelyn Ferdin played Bunny in a S1 episode of the show but she actually played Cindy.
Here is the link to the YouTube clip from the interview with the writer that we reference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lyz7RJftLQ
