Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Dee gets a rude awakening when she discovers that “Fatty Magoo,” an overweight loser from her high school class, is now a svelte, successful clothing store owner. So Dee decides to design a dress for her, but Dennis decides that he’s the better designer. He also knows that he has the charm to sell it to Fatty.

Our Take

A solid middle-of-the-road episode where the gang’s pettiness gets a decent workout. Dee and Dennis turning a grudge into competing fashion careers is funny in theory, and Dennis’s smug salesmanship carries a few scenes, but the pacing sags in the back half. Worth a watch if you’re already on a season three run, just don’t expect a highlight.
