Pre-empted
Show: Jaws Meets The Love Boat
While
waiting at home for her boyfriend, Nigel, to call,
Christine gets a call from Ross for being late to
the studio. So, Christine asks, on the air, for Nigel
to call the studio. The phone does ring an awful lot
... but it's not Nigel. Lisa repeatedly calls Christine
"because she looks lonely," Kevin calls
and uses the phone multiple times, as well as Ross
-- not to mention the burglar, the TV survey man and
the guy from the phone company who disconnects the
phone.

DID
YOU NOTICE?
- Only
the edited, 28-minute version of this episode exists.
- This
episode establishes that Ross has some teenaged
kids (even though he said he didn't in Whatever
Turns You On's Boss Helal).
- In
the original 1981 broadcast and Nickelodeon's 28-min
version, Christine gets a call from a weather man
to tell her the weather forecast. After trying to
hang up several times, she finally gives him the
chance to tell her what the forecast is, which is
mainly cloudy with a few wet periods. When she repeats
that, the word "wet" causes her to get
drenched. This was taken out of Nickelodeon's version
by 1984 to make room for commercials, as well as
some other sketches with Steve Wilson, who isn't
seen much in the edited version.
