Adventures in Housesitting

There's nothing really wrong with this episode but there's very little right, either. Once again, if this was the first episode of the show you saw you'd wonder what all the fuss was about.

Mr. Sheridan (yet another charisma-free Big Boss for Rebecca to kiss up to) needs someone to house sit for him, and Rebecca agrees. Feeling nervous in the big spooky mansion, Rebecca gets the gang to come over, and Sam accidentally lets out Sheridan's prize Doberman Buster.

It's a silly plot but the cast and writers have made weak stories work before, just not in this case. As earlier episodes have shown, animals are better heard than seen, and while Buster is a handsome pooch the adage is true here.

There's no real subplot, just a throwaway gag where Frasier adopts Carla's tweak on the old "imagine your audience naked" ploy. It's really nothing but Grammer gives it his all.
