Their plan backfires.
planktonrules25 November 2023
Rob is offered the job writing for a rival TV show. While the show offers more money and a larger staff, it also offers a HUGE headache as the star of that program is apparently insufferable. So, he turns down the job and is thrilled to do so. Unfortunately, Buddy isn't...and apparently he, too, is offered the job and he's taking it despite the hazards of working with this star. But there is a problem...Alan Brady won't let Buddy out of his contract. So, he concocts a VERY foolish plan which ends up backfiring and now Buddy has no job! What can Rob do to try to remedy the situation?

This is a decent episode...made better by an insult comic filling in for Buddy and who tries to make Mel even MORE annoyed. Well worth seeing and fun.
