Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Andy comes home with his groceries he plops the bag down on an end table, but it makes no thud, and wobbles slightly. This would suggest that the prop people filled it with just cloth or a small blanket for weight and volume.
- GoofsAndy's and Mrs. Sprague's plates move much closer to each other between the first and second shots of the dinner table.
Featured review
Not season eight.
My main reason for writing the review is to agree with a couple of others that this is one of the better color episodes. There are several good color episodes, despite what many people are led to believe. While the BEST episodes are from the first five (B&W) years, several of the color years are equally as good as some of the B&W ones... this is one of those better ones.
As others have said, confusion (and ill timing) over a phone message from an unwanted house guest with only the best of intentions leads to some pretty funny dialogue. Goober is at his finest, kindhearted self with his intentions, but his bumbling demeanor leads to some confused friends and one very, very full Andy.
BUT... this is not from Season eight. It is (as you can see from the episode guide) the 17th episode of season seven. Not a big deal, but if you're looking for it on Netflix or in your DVD collection, you'll need to find in the right season.
