Potential Charm and Whimsy descend into unpleasant FARCE.
Believe me, I WANTED to like this episode, and I'm sure anyone who thinks highly of it will immediately declare my comments "UNHELPFUL". So be it.
There's just too much NOT to like about this show-- it's really too silly and crass for its own good.
NO WAY would any hotel that's holding the ladies' instruments as collateral ALSO REFUSE TO GIVE THEM THEIR LUGGAGE, PURSES, etc; they would have headed straight to the Police. My goodness, we are to believe that these five lovely ladies are left to wander day and night through the streets of Toronto in Autumn without so much as a coat, a change of underwear, or a toothbrush? It's just plain stupid. The fact that they were STILL wandering the streets on the final morning in the same clothes with NO ability to "freshen up" or protect themselves from the elements is not only ridiculous, it's off-putting in its crudeness.
And speaking of crude, Tod's stubborn, boorish, dismissive attitude towards the ladies' plight was also offensive--and I'm NOT a politically-correct junkie by any means! But if the major plot/character elements are ludicrous, you haven't got much of a show (also, Martin Milner's bogus "Sleepy" routine is only slightly less annoying here than it was in the recent "Celli Brahms" show).
The brawl with the strippers in Grandpa Munster's nightclub is a very strained, sophomoric attempt at slapstick humor; maybe if the REST of the plot wasn't so garish, the fight scene might have come across better. But as it is, it's just one more cheap, burlesque-house gag that falls embarrassingly flat.
Then there's the oily character of Foxworth-- ALSO crude, glib and generally tasteless (as is the scene with his Twisting Male Dancers). Sure, it's good to see him exposed by one of the girls for the phony he is, and it's nice he decided to help them out-- but the connection was poorly delineated, and almost lost in the general "unpleasantness" that affects this entire episode.
ALSO-- the saxophone on the soundtrack during the final rehearsal scene is an ALTO sax, but the young lady is miming on a TENOR---not that anyone really should care by this point.
ALSO #2: could this episode be the FIRST in TV history to feature a SHOT OF AN ACTUAL TOILET (in LInc's prison cell)?? It's hard to resist saying-- but it seems to fit in very nicely with the overall tone of this show.
The next episode, the much-maligned "COME HOME, GRETA."...strikes a MUCH more convincing, consistently light-hearted and whimsical tone that, IMHO, elevates it MILES above "A Long Way from St Louie" in terms of quality.
But again, I'm in the distinct minority. C'est la vie. LR
