Name That Tune Wins Boat
DKosty12321 May 2011
Warning: Spoilers
Eve is watching a TV game show one morning trying to win a sail boat that sleeps 6. She goes to the kitchen and while she is gone Kay comes in and wins the boat.

From here we have arguments about the boat and whose boat it is. As they get settled, the boat is delivered. Surprise, the boat comes with some assembly required.

As the 2 families see this, a new name is arrived at for the boat if it is ever to be put together.

The SS Fat Chance is christened, named after the ability of Herb & Roger to assemble the boat.

If Eve and Kay had captained the Titanic is, the iceberg would have scrambled to get out of its way.

Warning: Spoilers
Kay becomes "Barge in Buell", coming into Eve's house without knocking and answering the phone, wins a boat on a "Name that Tune" like game show. After learning that the boat would come with a ton of expenses, Eve tries to pass it on to K, herb and Roger decided that they will share the expenses together. Unfortunately, the boat doesn't come all together. It's a make your own boat kit which creates more problems than they anticipated. Of course, Herb and Roger fight over who will be captain, and Kay and Eve fight over who will christen the ship. Unfortunately, this episode only really begins to develop and ends abruptly without really any revelation of what happens past them realizing what they have to do. About this episode is that it shows Kay and Roger obviously scrambling to keep up with the more upper class Eve and Herb, giving the series a class conscience concept that had the show continued past two seasons could have made for some interesting plots, especially had the boat actually been built.
