Fumigation
Jimmy_the_Gent43 July 2023
The Wilsons are going to sleep over at the Mitchells while the Wilson house is fumigated.

A very funny Season 2 episode, great comedy writing with a lot of gags. It begins with Dennis and his frog Sam. When Sam jumps into Mr. Wilson's basement, Dennis goes after him. He knocks over the fogger solution Wilson had for the fumigation. So the Wilsons have to go to the Mitchell's house right away.

More mishaps involve Henry having varnished the guest room floor, so Mr. Wilson has to share Dennis' room. We also find out Mr. Wilson is a sleep walker. Dennis, Tommy and Margaret are fascinated by this. Dennis promises to get a photo of a sleep walking Wilson. Many hilarious moments follow.

Plenty of Room

Maybe this is where bug spray episodes started in comedy series. Of course it couldn't be comic chaos if Mr. Wilson didn't have to sleep elsewhere. And the Mitchells are next door. George has an eager roommate in Dennis. We can laugh along with Dennis as Mr. Wilson gets used to his bed. There's also the question of where exactly Wilson snoozes at. The other kids get in on the fun. Mr. Wilson is always a curio. This story line sure wasn't improved on by Kevin James. Quite the opposite. This truly was the Golden Age of Television. Makes me wonder why there weren't more sleepover episodes. Fewer sets needed.
