This Gordon & Mendelsohn story would get the standard B- but it's a bit creepy that not only does the President of Chrissy's company, Mr. Penrose (Macon McCalman), hit on her, but her boss, JC Braddock (Emmaline Henry again), and roommates let her risk "losing something besides her job" just so his wife can catch him making a pass at Chrissy. And at the risk of sounding pervy myself, I do have to note that Chrissy is wearing a sheer dress which is very revealing during the moments when the front ruffles are raised. Even though this aired almost three months after the previous Braddock episode, she's only been working for JC a couple weeks.
Macon McCalman had played Dr. Malcolm on The Bob Newhart Show and it adds to the creepiness of this episode that he'd come back, twice, as Janet's father!
