Tried searching for this years ago and can’t find it.

I was pretty sure it was Step by Step but I went through every episode description in Wikipedia and didn’t see it but that doesn’t necessarily mean anything. Google and YouTube are no help.

So Patrick Duffy (or if I’m misremembering, whoever is the male lead of whatever show) is going through a midlife crisis and buys a sports car, though this could just have been for his daily. He gets a vanity plate and he wants it to say “see lover”, as in “see me? I’m a love machine”. But it’s too many letters so he decides to do ‘c lover’. He gets the plate and it says clover and he can’t convince anyone in his family that it’s c lover and not clover. It’s dumb as hell but I just want to see that dumb episode because it’s been stuck in my head for years and it’s like an itch that needs to be scratched.

      That’s insane. I’ve had this clip stuck in my head for years. It’s so random and obscure I’m shocked anyone of note discussed it on a podcast. Thanks for the link!

        The podcast was “How did we get Weird” with Vanessa Bayer and her brother Jonah. He was on to talk about “Little House on the Prairie” and goes into more TV talk. All very interesting. Sorry unable to provide time code. Link is to spotify Better link. Spotify
