There is vast tension in the bar this week!! Randy is at war with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences over The Shape of Water, while George and Randy are in vast disagreement over the quality and lasting entertainment value of “Rebound, Part 2”. Frasier and Sam are in conflict over the pace of their therapy sessions, while Diane and Carla deal with the inner turmoil of Diane's possible return to the bar. So order a double, maybe a triple, and look on the bright side, George presents a brief but memorable vocal tribute to Prince. (Review starts - 10:50)
The bar is back open for Season Three of Cheers Weekly!!!
But not only is it our season premiere, as we discuss the debut of Dr. Frasier Crane in “Rebound, Part 1”, but we have a very special guest stop by the bar this week as TV writer and author Alan Sepinwall (@sepinwall) joins us to discuss his love of Cheers, its legacy and how it relates to the current era of peak TV (10:45 mark). Grab a stool, eat some pretzels and be sure to order up Coach’s famous Mai Tai! (Review starts - 26:40)
