9/10
Don't Say "Cochise" To This Dog
30 April 2011
Warning: Spoilers
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!
