I have always wondered if anyone else ever noticed how Ernest T. Bass
was able to write so well in his first episode ("Mountain Wedding," season
three) and yet not be able to do so well later on ("The Education of Ernest T.
Bass," season five). He knew some words,
but not nearly enough to compose the Charlene love rock. In fact, he needed
help for simple facts.
The rock Ernest T. threw at the Darlings had fairly complicated sentences
warning them of impending doom
and giving Andy the idea of replacing Charlene with beautiful Barney, "I
wouldn't marry you if you were
the last man on earth." And yet two years later the Ernest T. we learned to
know and love would not
have been able to write this message: No, Trespass, Hunt, Out To Lunch, Beware
of Dog...that was about it.
"Why Ernest T., you're not stupid. You're just-- ignorant."
"You're just being kind."
