I'd have fired Eb


Been getting reacquainted with the show after not seeing it for years. Some running gags are getting stale and annoying, such as Eb's continuing belief that the Douglases are his parents. He's so disrespectful to Oliver I'm surprised Oliver didn't just get rid of him. He really steps over the line in some of his comments to his boss.

Who would you hire in his place ? Judging by the rest of the lunatics that live there, expecting an upgrade would make you just as nuts as the rest of Hooterville !

One of Kate Bradley's girls? I'd make the work very easy for her, in order to convince her to take the job!

IKR, I thought the same thing about Eb's disrespect. He reminds me of Florence in The Jeffersons, she always talked back to George, her boss. In real life, neither would last a day.

"Don't need them."
"Why?"
"Because zombies don't exist."

For a current day comparison, look at some of the things "2 Broke Girls" say to and about their boss.
