This episode can't live up to its American title, and even the Japanese title of "Sandy's Stardom" oversells it. Sandy's frenemy Olivia is conceited about a television appearance and when Mark insults Sandy's friend Emily (who's nice but plain), Sandy ends up making a bet that she herself can get on TV. Unfortunately, too much time is spent with Frankie and Spike, not to mention a near-sighted laundress and her dog. Note that when Osgood shows up, as he does in just about every episode, Sandy refers to him by name and Pinky reels off a breathless "That silly, frill-necked lizard doesn't belong here any more than we do and I'm going to find out what he's doing here. See you later!" Osgood breaks the fourth wall by shouting, "Stop the cartoon! Stop the cartoon!" And they stop the cartoon.
