Episode: The Proud Little Man


This was a very interesting episode. It was from about halfway through the second season and I just finished watching it on my DVD set.

It is interesting because it features both Shug Fisher and Paul Comi. In this one, Charlie is having trouble with his eyesight, but he keeps it from Ted and Jim. Chuck Lambert just happens to return from a job in South America and Charlie thinks they are trying to replace him. Jim, Ted, and Chuck come up with scheme to make Charlie believe that Ripcord really needs him to fly their plane.

I also found it interesting because, in the closing credits, Paul Comi gets a full page to himself while Shug is relegated to his usual spot on the last page with the other supporting actors. This is despite Shug's character being the name of the episode title, and him being the main focus of the storyline.

If I remember correctly, Paul had his own credit page while he was a regular on the show, so he must have asked for that again when he came back. I am interested to find out if Chuck is in any more of the second season episodes. I only watch one episode at a time.
