Two great Rebecca Howe episodes that highlight the greatness of Kirstie Alley. First, Rebecca must navigate a major romantic crush from Woody's cousin from Florida (played by guest star Harry Connick Jr). 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. Be careful what you say into the vent or John Hill might hear you while you enjoy "A Diminished Rebecca with a Suspended Cliff" and "LIcense to Hill"! (S10E17 starts 14:20 / S10E18 starts 32:30)

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.

All that plus Frasier embraces alternative medicies, at least to a point.
