Barbarino gets his own apartment

[kevinolzak · 6/10 · 24 June 2016]

"Don't Come Up and See Me Sometime" finds Barbarino moved into his own apartment, hoping to see more of his girlfriend Sally (Linda McCullough), who works as a nurse at the same hospital where he's a janitor. Julie drops by with a housewarming gift, followed by the Sweathogs, including newcomer Beau DeLabarre (Stephen Shortridge), who has to prove himself with ranking champion Vinnie. Barbarino sees his privacy encroached by the Sweathogs' virtual takeover of his pad but Gabe, in his usual capacity of teacher in the classroom, helps Vinnie iron out his problem by cautioning the others to just give their buddy room to grow. Scenes of Travolta talking to himself wear thin after a while, but any episode featuring both he and Gabe Kaplan is a rarity for this fourth season. Linda McCullough would make two return appearances as Sally, in "The Barbarino Blues" and "Bride and Gloom."
