Season 4, Episode 24
8/10
Fuzzy sells a song and Rob gets bupkis.
13 December 2023
As Rob is getting ready to go to work, he's eating breakfast and listening to the radio. Suddenly he's shocked...a song whose lyrics he wrote is playing. Rob then calls the radio station about the song and asks who wrote the song...and they tell him Fuzzy Potter! The rat claimed to have written the lyrics AND song...and Rob is mad. After all, it isn't the money that bothers him as much as receiving no credit. How this happened and what Rob does about it are interesting...and also make you wonder how often things like this have happened thanks to sleazy jerks like Fuzzy.

This episode is well written and unusual. It also marks the second appearance by Greg Morris ("Misison: Impossible") on the show. The only thing that I noticed that I didn't like about the show was the actor who played Fuzzy. He was under 5'4" and unless there is a serious war happening, it seems highly unlikely such a tiny guy would be in the Army. It is possible...just unlikely.
