This was one of the funniest episodes EVAH! I laughed until I hurt, seriously! It was, as I suspected, a spoof of the old "Blaxploitation" private eye shows of the '70's, with some wonderful tips of the hat to one of my favorite '80's prime-time shows, "Moonlighting" as well(Fluffer Nutter only needed to speak in rhyme to be a wonderful Ms. DePesto). The whole thing with those librarians, and Mac acting like a paranoid druggie seeing people following him everywhere, was priceless. I really got a kick out of Jackie trying to interrogate Wilt, and apparently he's long held a grudge against the Tall Red One, accusing him of all sorts of things, to the point that Wilt now refuses to accept the blame for any of it(and if you stop and really consider the seriousness of THAT concept, it's rather mind-boggling) and gets rather snippy with him. Wilt can definitely lay on the sarcasm when he wants to, with that line about how he didn't assassinate the Archduke Francis Ferdinand!
Yeah, but we still know about you and that grassy knoll, Wilt.
Spoiler Below There was quite a bit of inuendo and some bathroom humor, especially in the part where Mac is outside Jackie's office/Fluffer Nutter's bathroom stall asking Jackie if he's alright, while inside, Jackie's assailant is dunking him in the toilet, lol! At least, though, it did lead to the funniest line in the episode:
Mac: "Jackie! Are you alright?"
Jackie: "NO! I just had my head in the toilet!!"
There was a real Monty Python and the Holy Grail vibe about Jackie riding in that little RC car, while Mac ran along behind it, operating the remote control...sorta like that dude with the coconuts following along while everyone else pretended to be riding horses, though I don't know if it was intentional or not.
And is it my imagination, or does it appear that Jackie and Fluffer Nutter are more or less "shackin' up" in HER room?
I missed Coco and Frankie, but I still can't complain about this episode. It was hilariously funny, a tad on the risque side, but hey, most little kids won't get most of it anyway. I definitely give this one an A+!
