Bull Fighting
DKosty12321 May 2011
Warning: Spoilers
Desi Arnez guests as the famous bullfighter from earlier in the season. This time he arrives as the Hubbards on his first trip to the US on his trip to Mexico. Eve says he must stay with them, not realizing that means taking on a full entourage traveling with him.

From here kayos breaks out along with entertainment and music. Desi Jr guests as the grocery delivery boy in this one who wants to be a drummer. Meanwhile, Roger is working on a script with a Viking Helmet and wants a demo of Bull Fighting. Roger manages to gore Desi. This is going to make the stay last another week.

Still this is a fun departure from just harassing the kids.

Guess who's coming to see the "Hoobards".

Warning: Spoilers
Those who loved the broken English of Ricky Ricardo from 1951 to 1960 get a new opportunity to hear it as Desi Arnaz makes his second guest appearance on "The Mothers-in-Law". This time, Rafael Delgado is in Los Angeles on his way to Mexico for a bullfight and as a way of thanking him for rescuing them when they were trapped in the department store, he's invites him to stay at their home. This means that their home will be occupied by his entire Entourage, who not only stay up late but are on Spain time, not American time. His turns the Hubbard and Deals house upside down, meaning the Kay and Eve have met their match.

If it isn't Delgado arranging for a drive in restaurant crew to prepare a early morning snack for the Hubbards, it's his men showing up with seven visitors from Disneyland, creating a delightful bit of visual comedy. Of course, Desi and his band get to perform a musical number and are delightful. In spite of their intrusiveness, they are charming, and you can't help but like them in spite of how the two American families are inconvenienced. This episode gives the message that house guests can be an awful pain unless they have that seductive Spanish romantic quality that makes people who don't understand the language swoon.
