This review that's delaaayyyed.
There he goes...
Business issues: Why oh why is business so slow? How many other bakeries in Rutherford could possibly have someone like Amy? Or Happy Dough? (Or...) If I lived in Rutherford, I'd get all my food there.
The Amy-Team: Amy shows her intelligence once again by plotting a complicated plan that would confuse even Hannibal. And she didn't even need Mr. T to bail her out.
Tweetie Dee, Tweetie Dumb: Kristovo's naivite about American cartoons shows that he may be ignorant of important aspects in his relationship with Amy. While I am not an Anti-Kristovo'er, this makes me suspect that something bad will happen between them in an upcoming episode. And besides, who could mistake a cartoon for reality?
Sarcasm, it's... not in here?: GAH GAH DAMNIT! An episode of Abruptly Amy is NOT an episode of Abruptly Amy unless Amy says those magic words. DAMNIT! I cried for a half hour after this episode! But no... I watched it again and I _still_ didn't hear it! And then I smashed the TV because it HAD to be lying to me! And then the new one lied too! What's wrong here? (And I'm sending Alan Smithee the bill)
Upjimmy: Jimmy, however, said plenty of Upchuck's lines. That dosen't make up for the previous complaint, or my broken TV for that matter.
All I really want to do is direct: Alan Smithee took a turn and directed this episode. Too bad much of the episode looks more static than 1930's Hanna Barbera. Seeing Amy's outfit in act 3 definitely made up for it though, especially with some of the interesting camera angles.
The Ad Mafia: The advertising team was rather amusing. Hit the lights, Mugsy, it's time to watch Abruptly Amy.
The series as a whole:
Andrea's (hic) problem: It appears that they are grooming Andrea to take Rita's place as the Recovering Alcoholic sometime down the line. Hopefully Amy will be able to save her before it's too late.
Ruth's plans: Could she be planning to open a second location and give it to Amy, and hence causing even MORE tension between her and Rita?
Other questions: Will Kristovo kill Amy after he sees her on TV in _that_ outfit? Will Melissa take revenge against Amy for throwing her in jail? Will we see some more of those lovely Daria cameos? Will I finally get some Happy Dough to eat? I'm starving!
GRADE: C. Would be a B except for the lack of Sarcasm.
