Tom was vain.He had to prove to himself that he was still attractive to women.Maybe he did boast to that woman that he was in good health.What else would you expect him to do?Bannion asks how they could afford an expensive second house in Lakeside and insinuates that their second home was probably beyond their humble means on a typical cop's salary (Bertha: "A wealthy policeman would be a novelty"):There's a chance that Lucy Chapman might try a little blackmail.The two lovers never consummate their romantic involvement by sexual relations (at least on-screen) in the bedroom.A second made-for-TV production was co-produced by pay-cable station Showtime and PBS's American Playhouse in 1984, starred Tommy Lee Jones, Jessica Lange, Rip Torn, and Kim Stanley.For he was the bravest, and most handsome in all the land.And it was destiny that his kiss would break the dreaded curse.Effeminate, narcissistic Prince Charming (voice of Rupert Everett) rode out of one of the pages to the castle, where he approached the highest room in the tallest tower to enter the Princess' chambers to kiss her.The plot affords many opportunities for the comedic team to show off their anarchic style of humor, with many pun-filled, absurd, non-sensical bits of dialogue, insults, idiosyncracies, and one-liners.
