By the way, Hack should have filmed
Overbrook High where the real “Fresh Prince” actually went to
school.

Subject: Re: [UC] Hack is Back
I saw this episode, and I have a plot question: When
Hack is speaking to his lawyer about being sued in civil court by
the dead guy's mother (I'm not clear, is this lawyer a friend of his?) he says
to her that he has nothing ( money, possesions, etc.) that
"they" could win.
The lawyer says," You have a house..."
I missed the episode where he moves into the Larchwood
house. But, obviously, he must own the house, based upon this
exchange of words.
My plot question is: How did he come into possession
of this house? Did he inherit it? Did he buy it? If he bought it,
where did he get the $ from? He obviously doesn't have a large income and he
doesn't have any savings. (He mentions that hiring a private detective is
"not in my budget", and his lawyer is doing the legal work pro
bono.) Has anybody seen the episode that explains the move into the
Larchwood house?

Subject: [UC] Hack is Back
After a month or two of pre-emption by holiday stuff and
football, Hack rode again Saturday night. Really soulful segment, in which Hack
actually starts to wonder about the efficacy of using guns for self-defense.
Prediction -- Hack becomes a stealth Mennonite. Also steadily increasing
diversity -- Jewish mother lawyer (Cindy Katz), hot and spicy Rican ex-nun
(Jacqueline Torres), PLUS Marcellus has a new partner -- Chu Mi Chang. He makes
some comment about her being a "geisha" and she drily comments:
"I'm Chinese." Also she saves his life and he remarks: "Good
tackle." "Yes," she says, "I played women's soccer at Temple." Good golly, if it keeps up like this it's going to be Charlie's Angels, West
Philly edition.
Speaking of West Philly, Hack is interviewing some homeboys
and they inform him that the dude he's looking for went to "that
school the Fresh Prince went to." Next scene -- West Philly High. Also
some touching footage of Woodlands Cemetery.
PLUS which a bunch of dog references. The homeboys have a
mean-looking pit-bull on a leash. When Marcellus and Chu Mi bust in on the
white bad guy, he's got this little terrier named Pumpkin. Marcellus:
"Call off your rat." Then, in a really funny sequence that defies
credulity, Marcellus finds that Pumpkin doesn't have a license and threatens to
send it to the shelter. The bad guy is all "no, no, not that!"
Marcellus: "By tomorrow this little furball might be DAID!" Bad guy:
"I'll talk, I'll talk!" As far as I know, no actual dogs were
mistreated in the filming of the sequence.
