Aug 7, 2023

Ma and Cliff are fighting again - will this be Cliff's Norman Bates moment? Rebecca is on the prowl again but is her best path forward the rich man right under her nose or the working man right under the bar? And what has gotten Norm so angry? Order a couple of bottles of beer, listen to Mahler's Third and enjoy "Rebecca Gaines, Rebecca Loses" and "The Guy Can’t Help It"! (S11E23 starts 11:40 / S11E24 starts 33:00)

Jul 31, 2023

As we near the final times with our beloved Cheers gang, the surprises continue to get bigger. Woody has a path to possible political prominence and a new family member on the way. Carla makes one of her special drinks and goes home with a Cheers guy but she doesn’t remember which one. And Sam has a surprise that will change Cheers lore forever.  So order up a couple of Carla’s special 'I Know My Redeemer Liveth' and enjoy “Woody Gets an Election” and “It’s Lonely at the Top”! (S11E21 starts 21:00 / S11E22 starts 38:10)

Jul 3, 2023

A plethora of riches this week!  Bar Wars with Gary, a guest star sundae with a cherry, a return of one of our favorite recurring characters named Harry and even a cameo by John Daly!  So order up a couple $5 beers with a free video tape and enjoy “Bar Wars VII: The Naked Prey" and "Look Before You Sleep"! (S11E19 starts 17:30 / S11E20 starts 34:10)

Jun 19, 2023

Lilith tries to make sense of what she walked in on, Sam tries to make sense of how former owner Gus made money with the bar and the boys try to make sense of the death of another drive-in movie theater. So while Cliff is off at the snack bar, enjoy "The Bar Manager, The Shrink, His Wife and Her Lover" & "The Last Picture Show". (S11E17 starts 12:00 / S11E18 starts 33:10)

Jun 5, 2023

Marriage and relationships are forefront with the gang this week.  Serafina announces her pregnancy and upcoming marriage, only for the happy nuptials to be sidetracked by her returning father, Nick Tortelli.  Frasier is distraught over pending divorce proceedings with Lilith and seeks the comfort of Rebeca.  And Paul may or may not have something important to announce to the world.  All that plus you’ll never view closing the windows in the same way again.  Order up six hours of the Three Stooges and enjoy “Loathe and Marriage” and “Is There a Doctor in the Howe?” (S11E15 starts 13:35 / S11E16 starts 31:05)

May 8, 2023

A wonderful study in fear this week.  Who is most scary to our Cheers gang? IRS agent Dot Carroll to Norm, the mutant Orioles mascot to Sammy, or a penniless Robin Colcord to Rebecca?  Or maybe a bagful of wild squirrels with sparklers attached to their tails takes first prize.  Order up a couple gin and tonics and enjoy "Norm's Big Audit" and "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Bar"! (S11E13 starts 15:30 / S11E14 starts 40:05)

May 1, 2023

Sammy has a line on how to get his old Corvette back but it goes through Susan Metheny (a brilliant guest turn by Dana Delany) and the dreaded "doghouse".  Cliff has a line on a new video production venture that will leave everyone disappointed.  And Dr. Crane has a line on some female companionship in the form of his young office secretary, Shauna. So order up some dessert and enjoy "Love Me, Love My Car" and "Sunday Dinner"! (S11E11 starts 12:05 / S11E12 starts 35:35 )

Apr 17, 2023

Someone is going to emergency and someone is going to jail. As for the medical event, could it be Norm and Cliff (because of Melville's all-you-can-eat mackerel), Rebecca (because her Navy father is forcing her to move bac to San Diego), John Hill (because of a heart attack during a visit with Carla) or Kelly (also because of a heart attack due to moving into Woody's apartment). As for jail, that's likely reserved for Cliff, who thinks his neighbor is an infamous dictator. So order up some of that mackerel and enjoy "Feelings...Whoa, Whoa, Whoa" and "Daddy's Little Middle-Aged Girl"! (S11E9 starts 13:55 / S11E10 starts 32:55)

All that plus a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner at the bar that may or may not include grilled cheese.

Mar 6, 2023

The battle of the GOATs as Sammy, representing the U.S.A, clashes with Henri, representing France, in a no-hold-barred quest...for phone numbers.  If Sammy goes down in defeat, who will the guys live vicariously through? All that plus Norm gets his dream job.  So throw a few nickles in the slot machine and enjoy "The King of Beers" and "The Magnificant Six"! (S11E3 starts 11:50 / S11E4 starts 32:20)

As we enter the final season of Cheers (and Cheers Weekly), several momentous occasions and incidents take center-stage. Like the bar burning down. Mr Pubbs.

Will Sammy pitch in the big leagues again?  Will Rebecca find true love with an old flame.  Will Frasier ever find Lilith's lab rat, Whiskers?  Order up some free beer on Kelly's tab and enjoy "Take Me Out of the Ball Game" and "Rebecca's Lover...Not"!

Then Rebecca must deal with a liquor license issue that could threaten the bar's very existence. All that plus Cliff's new postal uniform and a fabulous introduction to poker for Woody.

Dec 12, 2022

Our iconic ensemble cast is humming on all cylinders with this batch of epsides.  Low self esteem field trips, furnance repairs, Elvis' birthday, Woody's 2nd job at the graveyard and a tragic turn with Sammys' hair.

LIfe and death issues are forefront on the minds of our favorite Cheers patrons.

John Allen Hill and Sam are back at it again, this time over the dumpsters. So Sam brings in the big gun known as Carla to take down his nemisis.

Join us in celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Cheers premiere by having a vigorous debate over Rolling Stone's new "Top 100 TV Shows of All-Time" ranking.  Randy is quite fired up over several injustices, George is the voice of reason but, most importantly, what say YOU on the rankings overall and Cheers position specifically?
