I feel like this Bell & Rosenthal story doesn't really work, although it has good moments, like Ellen and company coming back with new hairdos after attending the filming of a Tina Yothers hair-care infomercial.  Ellen wants to make her younger cousin's visit to L.A. fun, but everything goes wrong, including the cousin running off with tough-guy author Nestor Biggs (Dennis Burkley, who played Pee Wee on Who's the Boss?).

Christopher Darga, who was a House Buyer on Roseanne the previous year, is the Officer here.  John Bowab, who directed one episode of Soap, two of Bosom Buddies, and two of Who's the Boss?, stays true to form and directs his only episode of this series.
