Pongo Impersonating Sir Roderick? Pongo?!?!? No Uncle Fred? What the...


I'm usually not one to put more then one punctuation mark together at a time but dammit when they had pongo come forth to pretend he was Sir Roderick, we'll I immediately paused to write this heh.

Uncle Fred in my opinion was the most clever and funny character that wodehouse ever created and considering all the greats he created to choose from that is saying something.

I can't belive they missed the opportunity to insert that great character into the show, especially since the guy playing the crazy Duke was spot on.

A lot of the humor to be had at Uncle fred Impersonating Sir Roderick was how terrified it made pongo, and just how scared in general pongo was of what his eccentric uncle fred would do next.

As soon as I realized the episode was from "Uncle Fred in Springtime" I was stoked to see if they could manage to find an actor who could really pull off the Uncle Fred character. I was actualy waiting from the very first episode of the first season to see if they would work him in. So to find out they were doing that story for the first episode of season 2, but doing it sans Uncle Fred was highly disappointing.
