The Cabin

This is one of my top favorites from the series 80 episode run. Only a few episodes into the series and were finding the Rose family settling into their new town more and connecting with some locals when Alexis and David throw a little party at the hotel after Moira and Johnny take off for a night to spend a little time away at the mayors cabin. We really start to get a feel for who these characters are outside of their Beverly Hills arena, especially Alexis and David. We learn how much of a social butterfly Alexis is and how much of a homebody David is and the sibling chemistry between the two gets pealed back further. This is always one of those episodes I go back to when watching the series over again.

Johnny and Moira's role playing was almost funny.

We think this show would benefit greatly from the addition of a laugh track. That way we viewers would know when something funny happened. The running total of laughs is now zero for five episodes.

The Roses are gettin Randy and are even discovered having sex by the kids. This becomes a major issue. There is no space. While David gets the girl at the desk to help him out, his sister decides to throw a game party. Meanwhile, the mayor offers his truck to the Roses (after some really embarrassing talk) so they can go in the woods to the Schitts' cabin. But there is quite a surprise in the offing.

This episode had silly setups, witty dialogue, and good punchlines. David's meltdown at Games Night was one of the highlights! My fave episode so far of season 1!
