Tried searching for this years ago and canāt find it.
I was pretty sure it was Step by Step but I went through every episode description in Wikipedia and didnāt see it but that doesnāt necessarily mean anything. Google and YouTube are no help.
So Patrick Duffy (or if Iām 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 āsee loverā, as in āsee me? Iām a love machineā. But itās too many letters so he decides to do āc loverā. He gets the plate and it says clover and he canāt convince anyone in his family that itās c lover and not clover. Itās dumb as hell but I just want to see that dumb episode because itās been stuck in my head for years and itās like an itch that needs to be scratched.
Thatās so weird. Tim Heidecker was just talking about this exact thing on a podcast. It was on Empty Nest. The whacky neighbor guy. You tube clip
Thatās insane. Iāve had this clip stuck in my head for years. Itās so random and obscure Iām shocked anyone of note discussed it on a podcast. Thanks for the link!
Can you link the podcast? I would love to hear them talking about this lol.
The podcast was āHow did we get Weirdā with Vanessa Bayer and her brother Jonah. He was on to talk about āLittle House on the Prairieā and goes into more TV talk. All very interesting. Sorry unable to provide time code. Link is to spotify Better link. Spotify
Shout out to David leisure as Isuzu pitch man in that era
It was an episode of Empty Nest. David Leisure (playing a lothario) got the license plate. Hereās the scene:

Dude that was fast. Amazing.
I wish I had the time back that I spent reading through every description of every episode of step by stepā¦.
I tried OpenAI with your exact text and came up empty. Seems it doesnāt have the plot from Empty Nest in its knowledge. So this community, for now at least, is smarter than gpt4 :)
This is hilarious. Ever since I saw it as a kid, every single time Iāve seen the word clover, I think of that episode. St. Patrickās day makes me want to rewatch the whole series.
I donāt know but now that damn theme song is stuck in my head
