Look Before You Sleep (#11.20)

[ComedyFan2010 · 9/10 · 12 July 2014]

Sam's place is being fumigated and he needs a place to stay. Rebecca offers him to stay with her but he wants to stay with a stewardess only she has to go to work and he locks himself out of the bar. He goes through the whole gang trying to stay with them, but at the end ends up with Rebecca only she locks them out as well and they have to spend the night at Cliff's.

A pretty fun episode. It is great to see them outside the bar and Sam's bad luck is pretty funny with all of them. The funnest part is of course when he gets to Cliff and his mom, but other characters such as Carla and Hill bring lots of laughter

Sam accidentally locks himself out of the bar. His keys and his wallet are in there and he is out in the cold. He goes from place to place trying to get rest and it's a disaster. Of course, his one port in the storm turns sour on him. It's quite a tour de force.

A Series Officially Out of Gas

This was surely one of the unfunniest episodes in the entire 11 seasons of Cheers. A one-joke show, and the premise is weak, weak, weak. Sam Malone shows no enterprise at all in looking for a place to lay his head. Could he not have slept on the floor at Norm's? Could he not have gone to a local rescue mission or one of his many other girlfriends' houses? Could he really not have found another pay phone in Boston in 1993 to make other arrangements? Or perhaps he could have found a quiet corner in a bus or train station, or a booth at an all-night diner? Instead he WALKS from house to house (who knows how many miles?--the gang can't all live within a few blocks of Cheers) pestering his friends. And then, when he finally is taken in by Rebecca, his first impulse is to lie down on the floor in the hallway in front of her apartment door--thus causing Rebecca to step away and lock them both out of her place. And are we really to believe that Rebecca also moonlights as the superintendent of her building, working late nights at a bar, when residents would be likely to need her onsite? The whole idea of this is stupid, weak, and non-entertaining. Did I mention it's weak??
