Episode 5 - Coach's Daughter (Season 1 Episode 5)


Watched 6-16-12

Somewhat of a weak episode, although it does have a tremendous running gag of Diane saying, "Call me crazy" and then everyone saying "You are crazy".

The episode centers around Coach's daughter who is a bit homely. (To quote Mike Dell of LCS Hockey, she's uglier than homemade shoes.) She is a regional manager of door to door suit sales company, and one of her employees has proposed to her. She's very excited, because she never felt anyone would ask her to marry her. Problem is, dude is a douchepickle. He comes across as a lowlife to everyone at Cheers...so that's a low bar.

Problem with this episode is that the guy, while unlikable and douchey, doesn't really come off as evil enough...and the girl who plays Coach's daughter brings nothing interesting to the table. At least we get Diane trying to be the "Cheers Caricaturist" and failing miserably, so not all is lost. Still, they can't all be homeruns, and this episode definitely falls flat against some of the better ones.

Best Line from the Episode:
Coach: I was glad to be there Sammy to help out.
Sam: I'm glad you were there too, Coach. Cuz if you hadn't have said that, my career might have ended that day instead of when it did...a couple of weeks later.
