B-

I don't remember this era of the show as well as the previous one.  And this is just the episode up until the opening credits, followed by the next day's or week's credits because there was a cast change that meant that a family portrait had to be redone.*  Anyway, at this point Sam is in a loveless marriage with Jordan, so Kyle is worried about her, enough to show up and interrupt some smooching time between Sam's friend Adam (Kristoff St. John, who was a kid on the '77 Richard Pryor special) and his girlfriend Maya (Vivica A. Fox, then 26 but looking young for her age, as she had on the "Living Dolls" episode of Who's the Boss? the year before).  Meanwhile, Adam's parents, Henry (Taurean Blacque) and Ruth (Joan Pringle), are looking forward to Christmas and are happy about daughter Chantal (not seen this time) dating Eric Royal, the jock she prosecuted a few months ago.  However, Henry admits that he told Chantal that she "was not exactly born premature."  And Sam is reunited with her father, who's on the run, I think from Jordan.

This is finally the 100th NBC show I've reviewed.  Not exactly my favorite network.


*If I remember correctly, it was when Blacque was replaced by James Reynolds, although this was far from the only recasting in the show's short life.
