Review of Skin Deep

It's a Living: Skin Deep (1988)
Season 5, Episode 14
6/10
The Writers Don't Go Deep Enough
16 November 2023
Nancy considers a facelift; a mousy young woman starts a Sonny Mann fan club; a traffic violation lands Ginger in a weekend driving class.

This is an odd episode because the A-story is so underwritten - it doesn't kick in until halfway through and Nancy doesn't even utter the word "facelift". The best part is the misunderstanding of the situation that has the girls insulting Nancy - but unintentionally this time.

There is a cute moment when Jan sings a line from "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" with Sonny.

The script contains a reference to Season 3's "The Dr. Danny Show" where Sonny considered surgery to get Kirk Douglas' chin.

Nancy wears the hideous sailor dress again in this episode.
