Nothing In Common
In the half-hour spinoff, swinging-bachelor Basner (Todd Waring) has been reduced to a sitcom Johnny-one-note: the flake by the lake. A ``crazy boy- genius`` who has left the agency to start his own ad firm, he broods about becoming too serious, as his father (the mother apparently has been given the hook) observes, ``You`re still a nut--but you`re the head nut.`` Just in case the viewer misses the point, the son later tells his new, beautiful market researcher (Wendy Kilbourne), ``Welcome to the nut house.``
Hey, just how nutty is this guy? Well, he not only employs a skateboard- riding ex-con (Billy Wirth) as his cameraman, but himself wears a silly hat with ``hands`` that can be made to applaud, and he periodically pounds his desk with a Styrofoam sledge hammer. And, hey, when the stuffed-shirt executive from the client`s company brings up his reputation as ``a certifiable wacko,`` he retorts, ``I haven`t mooned a public official in years.``
