If you love Cliff like I do you will love this episode. He refuses to sell his house to developers looking to build on the land, while Frasier discovers Rebecca's sordid college nickname.

John Ratzenberger is one of the most under-rated actors in sitcom history... just because his character was eccentric people took him for granted, but he is nothing short of brilliant in his eleven seasons on Cheers. Cliff Clavin is one of the most original- and realistic- characters in the history of television. I have personally known people like Cliff, and Ratzenberger's subtle portrayal keeps him likable in spite of the insanity. Frances Sternhagen returns as Ma Clavin, a perfect match for Ratzenberger, and the scene in which she changes Cliff's mind about selling the house is an all-star show for both of them. Believable, engaging, and truly funny... they could have had their own show.

The sequence in which the gang teases Rebecca about being "Backseat Becky" is classic, and so are the stories she tells to try to explain it. A wonderful episode.

There is a mall to be build in the area where Cliff and his mom live. First Cliff is all for it but when watching the scrapbook with his mom he doesn't want to have his house demolished. But his mom now sells it for 250000 to go to Florida. So Cliff handcuffs himself to the house to prevent it from being destroyed.

I sure love to see Cliff with his mom. He is always a fun character but together they make it even better. The whole Yorkshire pudding conversation or them going through scrapbook were both pretty awesome and well written.

Rebecca's college story was not my thing. I don't see why she should be ashamed for having fun. But the way she got out of it was pretty good. And it was nice to have her have a little bonding moment with Carla because I don't want her to have the same relationships with other characters as Diane.

Cliff is at his best here. When developers want to buy his house, he balks at it. His mother supports him until she sees the offer. Cliff makes a stand by handcuffing himself to the house. In the other plot, Rebecca has been saddled with the nickname "Back Seat Becky." What transpires with this is hilarious, especially her encounter with Sam.
