This NRW story has a continuity error but is otherwise solid.  Mr. Roper offers Jack $50/day to paint the outside of the apartment building, although he's only giving him the weekend.  That's not the error.  Helen receives a COD package and says that Jack and Stanley went to the paint store.  But only a minute later, Jack is on the ladder, looking into his own bedroom.  He's just in time to see Chrissy take money out of his bureau in order to loan it to Mrs. Roper.  (There's a line about not giving an IOU to the UPS for a COD.)

There are more sight gags than usual, from Ritter but also from his teamwork with DeWitt.  I like that the misunderstanding is (relatively) plausible.  And Jack and Janet's concern for Chrissy is sweet.  Note that the date Chrissy types on Jack's letter has eight characters, so I'm guessing it was M/D/1978 format.
