After receiving specialized glasses and a
hearing aid, an overweight woman quickly begins to lose her
appetite when her food comes alive and starts talking to her.
Comments:
I have vivid memories of
watching this episode in the late 80's (that was back when I
needed a coat hanger to tune in FOX). At the time I thought
it was an extremely corny episode, and it was, but it
was definitely the best of the corny episodes.
