User Reviews

Dana Delany gust stars as Susan, the wife of Kirby (the man who bought Sam's Corvette.) Meanwhile, Rebecca tries to save Woody's pig from being Christmas dinner.

A good episode. Not a fabulous episode. I thought it was a little late in the series for Sam to still be such a sleaze. Wasn't he supposed to be growing up at this point? The way he treated Dana Delany's character was positively cringe-worthy. Also, the "back at the bar" storyline wasn't very strong either. Kirstie Alley and Woody Harrelson should consider this episode a waste of their talents. The only thing that keeps me from really disliking the episode is Dana Delany. She is absolutely adorable and her character is sweet as could be. It would have been interesting to see her on the show one more time. Ultimately though, not impressed, David Lloyd.
