Airdate: 3/19/87
Coach’s niece,
Joyce, is in town to go to college, but her father, concerned for her safety,
leaves a note for Sam to look after her. Feeling bound to honor the request but
short on time, he asks Woody, whom he considers “a Disney character without
fur,” to be her escort. After several days of steady dating, they drop the bomb
on Sam: they’re getting married. Frantic, Sam starts spinning his wheels,
devising any way he can muster to talk tem out of it short of begging – no,
cancel that, he begs, and pathetically at that. It ultimately works, until the
couple returns and announces their cohabitation. This time it’s Diane’s turn to
do the talking-out-of, and again, it works, albeit rather laboriously. Sam and
Diane stop and think about their efforts, and what they’ll do when their own
children face a similar dilemma.
Cute episode may
not deliver comedy fireworks but does feature Danson doing a lot of neurotic
humor during his scene with the all-too-happy couple. Subplot continues
Frasier’s relationship with Lilith when he gets a present from her he despises:
a tie (funny scene involving his utter destruction of it).
Cold open: Diane
has tickets to Shakespeare but Sam won’t go, so she invites Carla, who only
accepts when Sam gives her the afternoon off for it. Diane bcks out when Carla
offers a hint of what she’ll do at the cultural event.
Fictitious movie
title, as title of episode, would only be 3 ½ years from becoming a reality, as
Coppola’s sequel that should have never been!
