60. Men of a Certain Age - "Go With the Flow"

This episode was like an expertly written joke that builds and builds to a fantastically funny punch line. The whole episode is exactly that.
The story telling was great, with Joe, played by Ray Romano, recounting his blind date to his two friends over breakfast. It being his first date in 20 years and him being who he is, it makes for a great, if long, story. The date also happens to be with guest star Sarah Clarke (24), who was perfect in this part.
In the case of this episode, the slow pace of the show worked in its favor. As Joe tells the story, we get to see what is taking place. We already know that Joe has a black eye, but we don’t know how it happens. The way the story plays out only heightens are anticipation of finding out.
The leg cramp first appears in the episode when one of Joe’s employees doesn’t want to load the truck at work. It reappears when his son doesn’t want to go up to bat during his baseball game. It last appears in one of the funniest scenes I have seen in a while. When Joe jumps up and heads for the bathroom yelling that he had a leg cramp, I broke out laughing so hard that I almost fell over and could feel the blood rushing to my face.
That scene along with some advice from Terry, played by Scott Bakula (Star Trek Enterprise), that didn’t work for Joe the way it does for him was just too good.
