Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaNicholas Colasanto often had trouble remembering his lines and would write them on surfaces on the set. He wrote his line "It's as if he's still with us now" on a slat by the stairs. After Colosanto's death, the cast would pat the spot where he wrote his line upon entering in remembrance of him. The stairs were eventually repainted and the line was painted over much to the dismay of the cast.
- GoofsThe opening shows that's it's already night time when Sam announces he will be going to Stowe VT. When he comes back he says he was 3 miles from his aunt's house, then when he comes back the 2nd time he says he was almost there. The Cheers bar in Boston is over 3 hours away from Stowe, so Sam travels for at least 12 hours yet somehow the bar is still open. In reality it would be somewhere around 6 AM the next day.
- Quotes
Tom: Let's hang him in effigy.
Ernie 'Coach' Pantusso: To hell with that. Let's hang him right here in Boston.

Another Odd Episode
It's hard to tell what exactly the writers were trying to do with this episode. Did they want to recapture the sentimental tone of The Coach's Daughter? Or was this an attempt to show that Sam, while a cad, had his limits (even he wouldn't hit on a friend's wife)? Whatever the case, this one has a weird tone and a very jarring ending.
Coach is trying to come up with a eulogy for his old teammate T-Bone (the photo is actually Red Sox legend Jimmie Foxx with a moustache), whom Sam hated. It turns out T-Bone made a pass at Coach's wife, and Coach accidentally finds out.
There are a couple of funny bits: Diane tries to help Coach write T-Bone's eulogy but becomes more and more disgusted; Sam role-plays as T-Bone but Coach fusses over the details of T-Bone's voice. But the tone is off and the ending is something entirely out of left field. This one just doesn't work.
