Tonights episode will give you the creeps... and Head and Shoulder's will not be of any help. 

Summary

Quiet bald men have been suddenly killing lawyers. And what do they have in common? A new toupee! The hairpiece was made from the hair of a French murderess who paid all her money to an incompetent lawyer in the past. So, now, the wearer suddenly hunts down and murders lawyers. A young, inexperienced, expendable lawyer is sent to handle the case.

Commentary

This episode is probably the most comedically extreme  of the entire series. The dialogue and situations are similar to those found in the Police Academy movies... Fortunately for us, we can get our fill in 22 minutes! It might be insulting to follicly challenged people, a lot of humor is at their expense. Kershner (The Empire Strikes Back, Robocop 2) masters the 22 minutes with admirable comic pacing.

How Amazing?
