A highly unlikely crime helps bring together two brothers in this nostalgic comedy drama. Rocky Plumm (Owen Pearce) is a five-year-old boy growing up in a small Montana town in the mid-'60s. In Rocky's eyes, there's no star bigger or brighter than local kid's show host Happy Herb (Henry Winkler), who appears on TV weekday afternoons with his puppet friend Froggy Doo. When the Froggy Doo puppet is stolen, Happy Herb's show goes off the air until the doll can be found, which only adds to Rocky's unease as his folks (William Baldwin and Lisa Guerrero) struggle to salvage their clearly failing marriage. Rocky's big brother, Elliott (Chris J. Kelly), isn't especially concerned about Happy Herb's problems or the forced hiatus of Rocky's favorite show, but when Haley (Morgan Flynn), a pretty girl with a yen for detective stories, moves in next door, he suggests they join forces to help find Froggy Doo. Before long, the youthful sleuths find themselves crossing paths with a pair of federal agents (Peter Scolari and Rick Overton) and a growing list of suspects as they follow the thief's trail. A Plumm Summer was the first feature film from writer and director Caroline Zelder. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Linda Hamilton of Terminator fame provides the voice of Laura, a mysterious woman who leaves a tantalyzing message on Frasier's answering service. Never mind that the message was posted accidentally: Frasier is lonely, vulnerable, and in desperate need of female companionship. Impulsively, he rushes to the airport for a rendezvous with Laura -- and for a few moments it looks as though he is poised to kiss Seattle goodbye. This was the final episode of Frasier's fourth season. ~ All Movie Guide

Season five of Frasier opens as the titular radio psychologist (Kelsey Grammer) spontaneously bids a brief adios to Seattle and flies off to Acapulco. Here he is smitten by voluptuous supermodel Kelly (Sela Ward) -- but of course it isn't all about sex, or so Frasier tells himself, since Kelly is also extremely intelligent, a Ph.D candidate in zoology. Back home, Frasier's brother Niles (David Hyde Pierce), father Martin (John Mahoney), and Martin's live-in caregiver Daphne (Jane Leeves) become convinced that Kelly (whom they've never seen) is merely a product of Frasier's hyperactive imagination! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
