Mark Tuttle wrote this episode that proves that not only could the show carry on just fine without Somers, but the trio of Jack, Janet, and Larry has a lot to be said for it.  Janet is caught in the middle when both guys unknowingly fall for the same girl.  And meanwhile Jack has a job as a mechanical man in a store window.  (Making $400 a week!)  Some good lines and solid acting.  Note that the first "Chrissy phone call" is actually one-sided, as Janet explains that the men are in love, no, not with each other, and we don't hear or see Chrissy's reaction.

Vernon Weddle, who was Murray on That Girl and Burnett on Mork & Mindy, plays the creatively named Mr. Weddle, while the Woman in Flower Shop Fay DeWitt (who if I recall correctly is Joyce's cousin) was Betsy on That Girl and Annie Wanker on Mork & Mindy (different episodes).
