- From Season 3, episode 24 of "Yes, Dear", "When Jimmy Met Greggy". The episode takes place in the 80's and tells the story of how Jimmy is responsible for the fact Greg is married to Kim. In this scene, Greg defends the honour of his then girlfriend Kim against her previous boyfriend Brian who insults her because he wants Greg to break up with her. -
What actually makes it more memorable is actor Billy Gardell, playing his role, makes it even funnier. Billy Gardell limited role character made the Yes Dear show a bit better. I figured he would have his own tv show later and sure enough with Mike and Molly a few years later on CBS.
I never watched any of the Karate Kid movies before. Not my type of movie. I didn't know the "Yes, Dear" episode of "When Jimmy Met Greggy" was somewhat of a tribute to the Karate Kid series when Billy Gardell had mentioned it iirc either last year or the year before and that is why the song was added in an impromptu moment within a week in the scripts before the bar scenes were filmed.
For some reason, I had thought the music piece was from the rock group Chicago.

It probably ran in a football slot for three seasons. Preempted week after week in every major market, but not postponed because it would play elsewhere, and not rerun because it did so poorly.

The one good thing is the 'Yes, Dear' executives kept Billy Gardell's character around because they knew Billy could carry some of the show scenes with his character, but it wasn't enough by itself to save the series. After Mike and Molly had been on the air for some time and now looking back again and watching 'Yes, Dear' years later, I give props to Billy's work on Yes, Dear because I underestimated Billy's comedic acting talent way back then.
