Adventures in Housesitting (#7.11)

[ComedyFan2010 · 8/10 · 6 June 2014]

One of the corporates goes away for the weekend and asks Rebecca to look after his dog. She is scared in the house and Sam takes advantage of it. In the process though he lets the dog out. And the whole team goes to look after him. Meanwhile Woody finds an attack dog that they can present in case the real one isn't found.

A pretty fun episode. I just wish there was more Frasier! Still lots of laughs. One of the jokes I loved was Woody scaring Rebecca with the blender. And I doubt the guy wouldn't see that it isn't his pet, but it brought many fun moments on how Satan got his snack and him going after Cliff at the end.

Don't Say "Cochise" To This Dog

[Bolesroor · 9/10 · 30 April 2011]

Rebecca gets a job house-sitting and watching Sir Brownsville The Gallant from Fair Haven Manor, otherwise known as Buster, a dog. He belongs to Mr. Sheridan, one of the company executives, and he goes missing after Sam comes to visit one night. The Cheers gang swings into action to help her find the mutt before his owner comes home.

This is a hilariously funny episode with joke after joke. Sam refers to himself in the third person, edging ever closer to Fonzie status. ("Sammy carries whatever he needs.") Rebecca is perfect as the neurotic tornado trying not to let this simple job destroy her: "OR I could just put steak sauce on my throat and let Satan chow down."

The finale is excellent, with Cliff taunting the dog and Woody making the sign to avoid unnecessary bloodshed. It's easy to see many of the actors cracking up at various times in the episode, especially Kirstie Alley. Goodnight, everyone!

It's a Dog's Life

[Hitchcoc · 8/10 · 28 August 2019]

Another executive calls on Rebecca for a favor. She is to housesit for him and take care of his doberman (I think it's a doberman). Anyway, he lives out in the woods in a mansion and so Sam decides Rebecca needs company. He goes out there and scares her half to death. In the process, the dog escapes. This brings all the bar regulars out there to try to catch him. It's quite frantic.
