Solid episode of a very-good tv show !

I was just a bit too young to care about this show when it was on tv originally,so I don't think I ever once watched it until at least a decade after it ended (which is STILL a long time ago...) Re-watching it today,I can really appreciate how good it actually was/is. This show is funny ! As hell! It is very-well written,with funny and interesting characters,believable acting,with great comic-timing,hilarious twists and turns.

This episode is a fine example of a typical episode.

(I would rate a typical episode 85/100,and none of them I've seen yet are lower than 75/100) It is well worth watching,this show really was something special.

Best episode

A truly unrated sleeper series. The cast was picked well. Johnny was the coolest character. Yet, Mr. Carlson brought the show to a high comedic level. The "Tornado" episode is one I truly most remember. The episode was creatively acted. and wisely played through. I remember when Mr. Carlson was calm and heartfelt talking to the young child. Doing his best to ease her from such a scary situation. Kudos to the actor and writers for a very entertaining sitcom.I was 9 when it aired.It actually scared me. It was thoughtfully written in such a cool way. His character being as misguided as he was then to pull a 180 and have the confidence in himself to do such an awesome thing.
