Ep 3. Arlo's Birthday

In Kirstie season 1 episode 3, titled "Arlo's Birthday," Kirstie is excited to celebrate her grandson Arlo's birthday with the family. However, things start to go awry when she brings her unconventional gift – a pet duck – to the party. Arlo's parents, played by fellow Seinfeld alum Michael Richards and Rhea Perlman, are less than thrilled with Kirstie's present and are worried about how they'll explain it to their son.

Arlo's parents are not happy about the duck, and Kirstie is frustrated that they won't just let her be the "fun grandma" she wants to be.

Amidst all the drama, Kirstie's assistant and best friend, Thelma, played by Kathy Najimy, tries to be a peacemaker and help everyone get along. She ultimately suggests a compromise that could make everyone happy, but it remains to be seen whether it will work out.

As with previous episodes, Kirstie tackles topics like aging, relationships, and family dynamics with humor and heart. As a veteran actress, Kirstie Alley brings her signature charm and wit to the show, and viewers can expect plenty of laughs and touching moments.

Overall, "Arlo's Birthday" is a fun and engaging episode that highlights the complexities of family relationships. Fans of Kirstie Alley and classic sitcoms like Seinfeld and Cheers will not want to miss this charming series.
