I wonder if anybody else saw the sitcom I saw a week or so ago. My sisters-in- law taped a fragment - which is why I didn't catch it's name. The show is about a single father (TV sportscaster) who's raising two small girls with the help of two other adult (well, this is TV) men. One of whom is a pest exterminator. The main thread of the story was someone doing a TV spot on the father, but the secondary thread was more interesting. The little girls were being frightened periodically thru the show by a noise from a "monster" that can best be described as a very high pitched "tarzan yell". The pest exterminator identified the noise as something like "A Great American White-footed Ferret" - a really dangerous pest that had to be exterminated. At the very end of the show, the other "helper" finally persuaded the exterminator "helper" not to kill it. After some running around the room and other antics, the guy "caught" it. A great big white-footed male ferret. Looked just like Toby. The guy made a big play about "fighting" with it, but, the ferret was about as laid-back as I've ever seen one. I think it was licking him at one point. The show ended with them carrying the "dangerous monster" off stage-right. Interesting enough, I'm pretty sure that this series is filmed in California - where ferrets are illegal. Has anybody got a more complete list of where ferrets have appeared in film? I've seen 'em in: - Beast Master (the two ferrets were stars of the show - they only made one mistake - they were both males - how did one of them have a litter of kits at the end? Not a bad movie though - it was one of the contributing reasons why we "got into" ferrets in the first place) - Poltergeist II (I'm not sure of this) - At least one of the Ewok Adventures.
