"I was embarrassed for Emmett during this episode. His brother-in-law was so obnoxious and annoying. Emmett had a good wife, though--there were several episodes, including this one, where she showed true concern for his feelings and went out of her way to make sure he was happy. " - C. Sheppard from Atlanta, GA

"This episode is horrible. I mean really, really bad. It doesn't make any sense. Why would Emmett want to sell insurance? He should have insured himself against making this episode. It makes the episode with Howard and Millie on the train look like an Emmy Winner. The best part of this episode are the ending credits because it's over! Eek! Stay away! " - Dan from Escondido, California
