...Governor-elect's most telling campaign issue, however, seemed to be Muñ0z. Ferré charged him with developing "one-man rule in the manner of a Latin American political boss." Even P.D.P. workers seemed to agree that Muñ0z, after long service and such distinguished accomplishments as gaining commonwealth status and strengthening the island economy with his much-publicized Operation Bootstrap, had finally become a liability.

Brighter lights, on the other hand, shine to every side, not the least of which is Timothy Hall as J. B. Biggley, the boss of World-Wide Wickets where Finch is employed. Hall handles a considerably larger portion of the show's laughs than did Rudy Vallee in the B'way original, partly because of the competition but also because he really knows his way around a line.
