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.
This is hilarious. Ever since I saw it as a kid, every single time I’ve seen the word clover, I think of that episode. St. Patrick’s day makes me want to rewatch the whole series.
I tried OpenAI with your exact text and came up empty. Seems it doesn’t have the plot from Empty Nest in its knowledge. So this community, for now at least, is smarter than gpt4 :)
