I was going to go with a C+ for this David Flebotte story where Ellen gets drunk at a wine-tasting party hosted by a doctor Spence is trying to impress, but she does a nice rendition of the title tune.  Meanwhile Joe sells Canadian-themed jokes to Audrey's boyfriend Mike (Dana Gould again), which bomb until they go to a Canadian comedy club with Paige.  Degeneres's mother Betty is an uncredited but easily spottable Woman at the Party.  Director Iris Dugow didn't work on any other of my shows.

This is my 2600th television post.  We will definitely hit 2700, but not necessarily by the end of the '90s.
