Wilma Is Discovered

by Jimmy_the_Gent4 • 2022-01-09

"TV producer Noman Rockbind sees Wilma in a drug store and wants her for his next show. An amusing episode, some good pop culture references. Rockbind's name is probably based on artist Norman Rockwell. Wilma and Betty encounter a cowboy in the drug store, based on the limping character Chester on "Gunsmoke". Fred gets Barney to invest in speech lessons for Wilma, this leads to a parody of the "My Fair Lady" scene of "rain in Spain". It turns out Wilma is wanted to be a hand model for a skin lotion commercial...."

💡 Did You Know?

The cowboy at the bar with the accent and a right foot limp is a parody of Marshall Dillon's sidekick Chester from Gunsmoke (1955).
