Definitely the best way the show can honor the memory of Bob Barker!

And every man knew
As the captain did too
‘Twas the witch of November:

It doesn’t come across in a still, but the way characters laugh when something is wrong is exquisitely forced and Verhoeven-esque.

This show is a fun straight-ahead action show for a kid. Then you look closer and it’s intentionally a campy comedy. Then you look even closer and see little gags like that Legs’ inmate number is her measurements or a skull on a clock in an execution chamber. Then you look in HD at the props…

You got me! I extricated myself but it was getting pretty deep and dark and dank in that Roseanne hole for a while!

The original choice for Ma Parker was reportedly Bette Davis, who had a reputation as a pain in the ass in her own right. Davis was a perfectionist, though, while Winters seemed more selfish and vindictive. Maybe Davis would’ve improved the final product.

When I’m grading exams:

As in all the best comedies, each character is a specific strain of delulu.

Not sure whether most other fans have noticed, but with four or so exceptions in the second season, the multi-part episode titles always rhyme. The producers couldn’t have known that this is an accidental godsend when you watch arcs out of order like I usually do.
