    The fact my first thought was, "He didn't tell them to ground the negative cable on the dead vehicle" shows that I have fully transitioned into a Middle Aged Man myself since watching this as a kid.

      Nor does putting baking soda on the battery terminals KEEP them from becoming corroded. Doing so will neutralize the acid and aid in removing the corrosion but not prevent it. Silicone grease or...hey! You're looking at my gut, aren't you?

      Why not just attach the negative cable to where it's supposed to go on the battery? I had to jump my car & watched vids & didn't understand that part. Anyway 😬 it worked, but I put negative on the battery, not on a metal car part.

      I once read the red flag a man is having an affair is an uptick in sex in his married life. (Note: Don't fucking cheat, it will ruin your relationship in the end)
      On the short term, cheaters are more eager lovers.. He's not devoting all his energy to the "other woman", having sex has reminded him sex is great and he should have more of it, even with the wife he's cheating on.

Lovitz had left when Lorne refused to give him time off for a movie, but still appeared in 5 episodes. Next year, Hooks and Miller quit. Four women were added next year, who people probably remember for various characters, but they never became household names. Hooks actually returned for cameos in 7 episodes in 92-93 and 3 episodes in 93-94, often as Hillary Clinton. But by that time Victoria Jackson was gone. So if you're looking for the one season most packed with the "iconic" cast members of the '80s and '90s, it will always be 90-91.
