Evan Drake promotes Sam to an executive position. It is not well developed yet so basically does nothing all day. Rebecca is first mad but then she thinks there is something wrong and realizes that Sam was just hired to help their softball team win. When Sam finds it out he goes back to Cheers.

Not a bad episode. I guess the best moments are Sam in his new office playing with the pencil sharpener and breaking it He really showed well how out of place he was. Ad the scene with Rebecca coming to tell him the truth was very well done. One really starts to feel bad for Sam as well.

This is a fun and easy episode in the heart of the transitional sixth season. The writers were capitalizing on the bar's corporate ownership storyline and the yuppie craze of the 80's by having Sam take an executive position. He soon discovers that the real reason he's been hired is to play on the company softball team and returns to work at Cheers. Can he really be that stupid to believe he's successful when he does nothing all day but listen to the laughing box? It's best not to ask too many questions.

Cliff uses the line, "not for all the bridges in Bridgeport," which is a reference to actor John Ratzenberger's actual hometown of Bridgeport, Connecticut. Rebecca is rapidly becoming the neurotic whack-job that she would be for the rest of the series' run.

CLASSIC LINE: "Okay, I admit it: I'm not a sad guy... I'm a happy, horny guy"

GRADE: B+
