Best moment in the entire series


There's a lot of good ones-- Laura sliding out on the river of walnuts, Allen Brady complaining to his toupee heads, Pickles blubbering...I think the best quick take in the whole show is in "The Impractical Joke", where Rob starts getting the idea he's being played and it cuts back to Phil Franklin on the other end, smiling like "Yep! You are!"

Two of my favorites: 1. in the Ballad of the Betty Lou, the scene at the front door and closet door when Laura and Millie are leaving the house in a panic - priceless 2. "The Manchurian Canterdirt"answer from Laura's obnoxious uncle in a game of Charades.

Regarding 'The Impractical Joke', the final scene with "Mr. Handlebuck" is hilarious. Buddy is fooled into thinking that the guy is a real IRS agent and he grovels and apologizes, only to find out that HE was being played! So funny.

So many wonderful moments!

In the Ghost of A. Chantz, where they're all in the cabin's bedroom because the girls are scared over the face Laura saw; Rob runs to the window to look and Laura tells him the face was in the mirror - that split second when, after rushing over to the mirror, Rob scares himself with his own reflection. Makes me laugh every time!

This is one of my favorite episodes!! Another hilarious scene is when they're all on the pull-out together under the covers- fully dressed! 😜 This episode goes hand and hand in my head with Long Nights Journey Into Day. That entire ep has me stitches every time, but I loooove when Laura and Millie are yelling at each other from room to room. : Millie: "Making coffee, ok?!" Laura:"Okaaay!"

LOL. That's a good one, too. Then the lights go out...
