Still, the showbiz sequences not only put the focus on the show’s most sympathetic character in Susie, they manage to crackle with energy without seeming to sweat. Scenes on the home front, on the other hand, are distressingly sweaty. Very little that happens back in New York makes sense except as an excuse for the Palladinos to give their talented supporting players something to do.
Almost by default, the best part of the home front scenes this season involves Midge’s ex-husband Joel , who tended to be the biggest drag on the first two years. The season periodically hints at the Midge/Joel reconciliation we all know is coming before the series ends, but it never quite happens — not even after they drunkenly get remarried when he stops by the Vegas leg of the tour.
Still, even this frustrating season had one absolutely perfect sequence — the one leading up to Midge being asleep in the pool chair.
