Bud Wiser wrote this story where Jonathan runs for Class Treasurer at the same time that Mona comes up with a new campaign for Mature Woman magazine, with herself as the bombshell cover girl.  "Bimbo" seems like a pretty dated term for the late '80s (it was big on Laverne & Shirley, but that was set in the '50s and '60s), yet considering that four years earlier the WtB writers had trouble getting the word "bra" on the air, perhaps it's not surprising.  I like that this episode focuses on Jonathan and Mona's relationship for a change, but I find the attitude towards Jonathan being repeatedly beat up, especially Tony joking about it, weird.

Thomas Calloway, who was Phillip towards the end of Soap and Capt Sweeney on M*A*S*H, plays Jake Ashby here.
