As I often have posted: no matter how many times I watch a TRF episode, I
continue to spot minutiae I missed in all the previous viewings. The
other night I watched "Just Another Polish Wedding" for about the 20th
time and saw things that it made me feel stupid I hadn't picked up on
before.
1) The voice on the opening answering machine message sounds like Jack
Garner.
2) The county employee who hires Jim to find the musician is the same guy
who was supervising the digging up of the deceased's back yard.
3) Since Marcus sometimes uses the last name 'Hayes,' Gandy's giving him
the nickname 'Gabby' makes him 'Gabby Hayes,' just like the veteran cowboy
sidekick actor.
4) Not only does Gandy continue calling Jim 'Rockfish,' Marcus starts
referring to Jim by that name, too, in the scene outside Jim's trailer.
5) On any other show, the family involved in the wedding would just be
stick-figure plot functions. On TRF, we get a surprising amount of
not-really-necessary backstory about and insights into them.
