Again- because of "The Death of Chuckles" people tend to forget GEM episodes like this one. Five Stars ! "Paper hats? We haven't used paper hats in the newsroom for years". LOL !!!!!!!
Love this episode, too! When Lou wants to leave and Gordie says, "Aw, let him go. Who wants him." Hilarious! And everyone out in the hallway knocking on the door trying to get in, Mary talking Lou into letting them in one at a time, and Ted barging in with "Back, you animals!"- what a funny episode!
Lou could be such a total grump! But he was an honest grump. He didn't want a party. Mary's sweetness, which could be sickening at times, made Lou uncomfortable.
I have to say, I hate surprise parties myself.
Couldn't Mary just respect Lou's wishes? Uh no, she was little Mary Sunshine. Funny episode LOL
