After an argument during a barbecue over Roger's latest commercial ditty (a silly version of "Greensleeves" called "Crabgrass", Herb challenges Roger to a duel, and the two cowardly aging men do everything they can to hide from their competitor with Eve and Kay's help. This is a five minute sketch stretched out to 22 minutes with Eve and Kay (with help from a dancing Roger) performing "Crabgrass", set up with the premise of Roger having written a TV version of "The Three Musketeers" and becoming obsessed with sword fighting. While this has a great set-up by giving a good view of Eve and Herb's beautiful backyard, it is weakened when Roger shows up and sticks his bandaged finger inside Kay's pot of baked beans. This visual just adds great distaste for his character. Later, Kay and Eve are the ones who end up with the swords in their hand, and the episode ends with a visual of Herb and Roger literally playing sword fights with shishkabab. Probably the weakest episode yet in season one.
