Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaEveryone sitting around the bar tries to name the "sweatiest movie of all time". The actors throw out suggestions and Cliff (John Ratzenberger) suggests Body Heat (1981). One of the supporting actors in that movie was Ted Danson, and just after the movie is mentioned, the camera focuses on Danson.
- GoofsWhen Sumner goes to the back to make a phone call, a crew member can be seen sitting on a wooden chair with a camera beside him, as can a few more people in the distance.
- Alternate versionsEarly syndicated versions of the episode have an edited teaser, omitting Sam's entrance from the pool room in the original version and instead begin the teaser at the point to where the boy enters the bar to buy a beer with his fake ID. Home video versions and recent cable and broadcast syndication versions have the teaser in its entirety.

What are your sweat patterns?
This is a solid start with good character introductions and banter.
The arc of the character Diane is written in a way that engages you into her situation and provides good opportunity for humour. I think Shelly Long is slightly awkward in some of the early dialogue exchanges but grows on me as the episode goes on. She delivers her final rambling speech very well.
Sam is introduced pretty well, notwithstanding some clunky moments of exposition dialogue. Other main characters make great first impressions with sharp comic dialogue that establishes their personalities immediately. Rhea Perlman is exceptionally good, as is Nicholas Colasanto. Ted Danson ties everything together with a charming, laid back central performance.
My favourite moments include "she's a hooker", the sweat related banter and most dialogue involving Coach and Carla.
It's a 7.5/10 for me but I round upwards.
