S11E25 - One for the Road

The finale of our beloved series and for Cheers Weekly.  Enjoy!

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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 )

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)

Extra-marital affairs are causing havoc at our beloved bar! First, Lilith bids Frasier and the bar farewell as she's off to the eco-pod with new lover, Googy. Then Mr. Gaines is caught in a compromising position with his brother's wife and Woody's loyalty to keep quiet must be assured. All that plus a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner at the bar that may or may not include grilled cheese. So go grab some silverware from Melville's and enjoy "The Girl in the Plastic Bubble" and "Ill-Gotten Gaines"! (S11E7 starts 11:45 / S11E8 starts 35:45)
