Cheers Weekly

Don't let the title fool you. The cast from the closing chapter of the Coppola trilogy doesn't stop by the bar this week - although Sam might have found that most pleasant than attempting to be the godfather to Coach's niece. And that's before Diane gets involved. And all that pales in comparison to the violence Dr. Frasier Crane inflicts on an innocent 'victim' this week. George and Randy don't know what to do with this episode, so grab your favorite hard seltzer and help them decipher "The Godfather, Part III"! (Review starts - 12:15)

Although the bar has been closed for a time for some health inspection checks regarding the saltine and American cheese menu item, it is now BACK OPEN!! George and Randy have a plethora of entertainment recommendations during these difficult times but are most excited to review one of the best guest-star episodes of the series! So grab your favorite table at the bar, be impressed by the performance of Mr. John Cleese and enjoy "Simon Says"! (Review starts - 17:42)

It is a day for new beginnings for both our favorite characters and Cheers Weekly! For our beloved Frasier, it is a new beginning with Lilith as they pursue moving in together but the ideal of complete honesty is put to the test by Sam and Diane. For Cheers Weekly, some new friendships have been forged as James and John, the hosts of Where Nobody Knows Your Name - A Cheers Podcast, stop by for a chat about our respective love for all things Cheers. So grab four rum and Cokes, sit back and enjoy "Dinner at Eight-ish" (Interview - 7:15, Review - 42:20)

What started off as a friendly review of a Cheers episode turns into one of the biggest differences of opinion in Cheers Rating history. Are you Team George? Or are you Team Randy? And more importantly, are you just as scared for Cliff as Sammy is? Call your favorite lawyer, order up a sidecar and enjoy "Dog Bites Cliff"! (Review starts - 8:10)

What would drive Sam to wait outside Diane's apartment all night? What would convince Diane to jump out of a cake at a stag party? And most importantly, what would persuade Randy not to be grumpy? All questions will be answered, including how Woody hurt his thumb as well as the proper usage of the word 'tart', in this stellar episode "One Last Fling"! (Review starts - 7:10)

Our cliffhanger from last week is all about the jinx. Can Eddie play just as poorly without Carla as with? Can Diane get over her attempted murder suspect from the trial visiting the bar with his accuser? Does Woody love Sam? So fire up your favorite rendition of Oh Canada, pour a Yukon Jack and enjoy "Never Love a Goalie Part 2"! (Review starts - 7:42)

A goalie walks into a bar...the beginning of a bad joke or the plot setup to examine Carla's love life in more detail? And who would have thought that the words "Frasier Crane is out on bail" would be connected to a hockey fight? Well grab a Sam Adams and enjoy part 1 of "Never Love a Goalie"! (Review starts - 5:07)

Cheers Weekly is back and ringing in the new year with an iconic episode! Not only do George and Randy provide some of their preliminary thoughts on this year's Oscar contenders, but this episode would launch the oft-panned, much derided spin-off "The Tortellis". So the gang from Vegas is with our beloved gang from Boston and Nic is on the prowl again. So snap your fingers, listen to some violin music while sipping champagne...and enjoy "Spellbound".

Following last week's shocker proposal (or three), we now deal with the fallout as Sam and Diane navigate the perfect engagement ring while Carla navigates the steep mountain of denial. As for our hosts, we get a crash course in proper (and cost-effective) engagement ring procurement from George while Randy educates us on inflation including how much Sam paid for Diane's "ring" in today's dollars. Grab a tall one, maybe some corn on the cob and enjoy "Diamond Sam"! (Review starts - 14:18)

Hear ye! hear ye! The court is now in session. The Honorables George Tsakiridis and Randy Woodbury presiding. The question before the court today is what Cheers Weekly rating will our honorable judges declare for the episode, "Chamber vs Malone"? In addition, the judges will provide their insight regarding Norm's search for spiritual meaning in life. (Review starts - 14:32)
