"My husband & I are big fans of this show, but this episode, in particular, had us in stitches! I don't pay much attention to accents, which seems to be the chief complaint others have about this episode. I laughed at the situation, the dialog, and the looks exchanged between the various characters as the situation escalated. It was absolutely hilarious!..."
💡 Did You Know?
Daphne (Jane Leeves) pretends to be married to Niles (David Hyde Pierce) so she can avoid romantic entanglements with the layabout Clive (Scott Atkinson). Later, she realizes that Clive has become a captain of industry, and curses her decision to spurn him. At this point, Niles says, "Send in the clowns," a reference to a song of the same name by Stephen Sondheim that mirrors their situation. In that song, the singer realizes that someone who she had previously spurned was now an ideal match for her. Both in the song and in the episode, the desired match is unavailable, causing regret in the relationship seekers.
