Knock on the Door

It’s a field day for the Beast as a boy jumps into his yard and wants to play chase! Doris of American Graffiti: One Song at a Time shares both her and her dog’s review of the big scene where Benny finally recovers the Babe Ruth baseball. Rachel lets slip that all kids who cause trouble take an oath of omerta. Megan of MASH Minute reminds of us of valuable life lessons. And does Tierney manage to work in references to both “Tales from Jabba’s Palace” and the Apollo space program? You bet! Pop on The Surfaris, protect your cakes, and practice your wolfman howl because today “Gunner” aka “The Beast” is out on the town. Ok, they end up exactly where they started and a fence falls on him but DON’T WORRY: the dog is OK! And gives us an excuse to meet Mr Mertle at last.

PS - We also talk a lot about James Earl Jones and how good he is at acting since apparently he has zero interest in baseball

PPS - It was really hard not to name this episode “Ooo a Big Doggie”
