Wengrod & Cinnamon wrote this story where Mona puts together a "hunk calendar" to raise money for the Humane Society.  Tony is Mr. February and not only do Angela's co-workers put up the calendar early, turned to his page, but he attracts the attentions of cat-like Cassandra (Leslie Bevis).  Angela thinks the whole thing is shallow and degrading, but when Gus, Mr. March, asks her out, she says yes, mostly due to the urgings of her friend Wendy (Dori Brenner again).  Although Bevis is great, as are Danza and Light's reactions to her, the "Gus" side of the story doesn't work as well.  I don't know if it's that I don't find him at all attractive or that Angela seems to be mostly dating him to make Wendy happy, but this part of the script could've used more work.  It is funny though when Tony, who's getting scared of Cassandra's weirdness, decides not to go out with her, but Angela decides a night of "fun" with Gus is OK.

Keri Houlihan makes her first of three appearances as Wendy's daughter Jenny.  We learn from this episode that Wendy has at least two kids and she's married to a boring, balding, un-muscular orthodontist named Herb, which is why she wants to live vicariously through Angela.
