Charles Anthony and Mark Scott's third of six WTYF stories isn't particularly topical, unless you count Ralph blaming the heat wave on the Russians' use of satellites to make America helpless, but it is one of the better episodes. I like the visuals, from the heavy use of a rosy red to indicate heat to the way Ralph and Harry negotiate the shared territory of their pool. The ending, with the neighbor couple who bought the pool sharing the plastic pool that Harry and Irma have settled for, is a nice touch. And the line "Sara's a great freedom fighter but she's oversexed" sums up Whitaker pretty well.
