Mr. Pastis is enacting an homage [stealing] from THE MARVELOUS MRS. MAISEL, which begins with her discovering that her husband is stealing, badly, from Bob Newhart—an unbelievable situation, considering that Newhart’s album was extremely popular, and someone in the audience would’ve shouted the husband down within seconds.
What’s funny about this is that Stef is right. Kip & Tiffany are just moments away from tearing off each other’s clothes.
