Summary

If you’ll remember, in the last fun-filled episode Sarah Goldman–a ditzy New Age young woman–hired a goyish actor, Bob Schroeder, to play her perfect Jewish boyfriend to please her parents, and wound up falling in love with the goof. In the follow-up to this heartwarming farce Sarah’s brother Joel–a sweetie-pie nebbish–fears telling their parents he’s gay. So once again Bob comes to the rescue, donning an outfit out of La Cage aux Folles to play Joel’s perfect, if somewhat butch, Jewish girlfriend. In Sherman’s world, even the most difficult family problems have a cute, sappy sitcom solution. (Source credited: http://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/jest-a-second/Content?oid=887615)
