Cheers: The Little Match Girl
The 11th and final season of Cheers begins directly after the chaotic wedding of Woody (Woody Harrelson) and Kelly (Jackie Swanson). Back at Cheers, and feeling depressed about her own unmarried status, Rebecca (Kirstie Alley) begins smoking again. Fortunately, she quits before it becomes a habit; unfortunately, she didn't quit soon enough to avoid setting the bar on fire. Now she must do some quick thinking in order to blame something other than an errant cigarette on the conflagration. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Cheers: Teaching with the Enemy
In the first episode of a two-part story, Rebecca (Kirstie Alley) catches Lilith (Bebe Neuwirth) in the act of planting a passionate kiss upon her favorite male psychologist. Unfortunately, the man isn't Lilith's husband Frasier (Kelsey Grammer), but instead her esteemed colleague Dr. Louis Pascal. Meanwhile, a rowdy group of customers prompts Sam (Ted Danson) to hire a bouncer named Tiny (Don Gibb). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Cheers: Feelings...Whoa, Whoa, Whoa
Restauranteur John Hill (Reid Shelton), the pompous bête noire of Sam Malone (Ted Danson), suffers a heart attack. Much to everyone's surprise, Hill's current amour Carla (Rhea Perlman) seems sublimely indifferent to her lover's condition. But Cliff (John Ratzenberger) can't be bothered with this emotional intrigue; he's convinced that his new neighbor is Adolf Hitler. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Cheers: Daddy's Little Middle-Aged Girl
Robert Prosky guest stars as Admiral Franklin Howe, Rebecca's (Kirstie Alley) father. Convinced (and not without reason) that his daughter is living a life of dissipation, Howe insists that she move back to San Diego with him. On the subject of moving, Kelly (Jackie Swanson) refuses to transfer her belongings to her husband Woody's (Woody Harrelson) shabby Chinatown apartment. Ethel Kennedy, of all people, makes a cameo appearance. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Cheers: The Magnificent Six
Now that she has started smoking again, Rebecca (Kirstie Alley) will go to any lengths to quit. Meanwhile, Gallic lothario Henri (Anthony Cistaro), working as a temporary bartender for the honeymooning Woody, challenges Sam (Ted Danson) to a heated "Ladies' Man" competition. Originally slated to air October 15, 1992, this episode was bumped to October 22 by a presidential debate. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Cheers: The Girl in the Plastic Bubble
In the conclusion of a two-part story, Lilith (Bebe Neuwirth) tells her husband Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) that she is leaving him to spend one year sealed in a biosphere with her lover Dr. Louis Pascal (Peter Vogt). Frasier reacts to this domestic setback with his usual quiet dignity and grace: He climbs onto a high ledge and prepares to jump. This episode marks the final "regular" appearance of Bebe Neuwirth as Lilith Sternin-Crane. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Cheers: Ill-Gotten Gaines
Fed up with the interference of his wealthy father-in-law Mr. Gaines (Richard Doyle), Woody (Woody Harrelson) confronts the man for a showdown. Startlingly, Mr. Gaines acquiesces to Woody's every demand; after all, the old man has been caught with a woman other than his wife, and how does he know that Woody isn't out for blackmail? Meanwhile, Rebecca (Kirstie Alley) plans an elaborate Thanksgiving dinner at Cheers. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Cheers: The Beer Is Always Greener
While Cheers is being rebuilt after the fire in the previous episode, Carla takes a temporary job at another bar, one where she is expected to keep her mouth shut and be as nice as pie. The regular gang gravitates to the new place, only to enjoy the ambience so much that they may never return to Cheers. Meanwhile, newlyweds Woody (Woody Harrelson) and Kelly (Jackie Swanson) discover that although they're both Lutherans, they still have to tangle with some serious religious differences. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Cheers: Love Me, Love My Car
Sam (Ted Danson) has second thoughts about selling his Corvette and wants to get it back. Unfortunately, the new owner has passed away, prompting Sam to pitch woo at the man's widow (Dana Delany). Back at Cheers, Woody (Woody Harrelson) plans to roast a pig sent to him by his family for Christmas dinner, but sentimental Rebecca (Kirstie Alley) "bonds" with the porker. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Cheers: The King of Beers
Norm's (George Wendt) wildest dream comes true when he is hired by a prestigious brewery as a beer taster. Meanwhile, a slot machine is mistakenly delivered to Cheers. The fact that the bar isn't supposed to have the machine does not prevent Rebecca (Kirstie Alley) from becoming hopelessly addicted to the one-armed bandit. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Cheers: Do Not Forsake Me O' My Postman
One year before he was reunited with Cheers regular Kelsey Grammer on Frasier, John Mahoney guest starred on Grammer's earlier series as Sy Flembeck, a hack songwriter hired by Rebecca (Kirstie Alley) to compose a jingle for Cheers. As for the main plot of this episode, a pregnant Maggie (Annie Golden) returns and insists that Cliff (John Ratzenberger) is her baby's father. Meanwhile, mercurial ex-convict Andy (Derek McGrath) pops up at the bar, looking for the long-departed Diane Chambers. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Cheers: It's Lonely on the Top
Now that Woody (Woody Harrelson) has been elected city councilman, Carla (Rhea Perlman) offers to tend bar at Cheers. What follows is a long night of drunken revelations thanks to Carla's mystery mixture of strong stimulants. When the sun comes up, Carla knows that she's slept with someone at the bar -- but can't remember who. This is the episode in which ubiquitous supporting player Paul Willson finally takes center stage. "It's Lonely on the Top" was the last Cheers episode produced, but not the last to be shown. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Cheers: One for the Road, Part 1
Originally telecast as a two-hour special (including a 25-minute retrospective of series highlights), the famous final episode of Cheers has since been re-edited as three separate half-hour installments for syndication. In part one, Sam (Ted Danson) is surprised to see his former fiancée Diane Chambers (Shelley Long) on TV, accepting a screenwriting award. Phoning Diane to congratulate her, Sam saves face by claiming that he's happily married -- and she, for the same reason, says the same thing. Meanwhile, plumber Don Santry (Tom Berenger) proposes to Rebecca (Kirstie Alley), who finds it extremely hard to accept even though all of her wants to do so. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Cheers: Rebecca Gaines, Rebecca Loses, Part 2
The mystery of Cliff's (John Ratzenberger) missing (and possibly murdered) mother is finally solved. After making the assumption that Kelly's (Jackie Swanson) wealthy father Mr. Gaines (Richard Doyle) is enamored with her, Rebecca (Kirstie Alley) is in for a shock when she learns Gaines' true motives for inviting her to his home. Originally a one-hour episode, "Rebecca Gaines, Rebecca Loses" has since been re-edited as two half-hour programs for syndication. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Cheers: Is There a Doctor in the Howe?
In this first episode of a two-part story, Lilith (Bebe Neuwirth) sends Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) a telegram demanding that they make their separation legal. Well-meaning Rebecca (Kirstie Alley) throws Frasier a "Happy Divorce" party, which turns sour thanks to a surprisingly hostile Woody (Woody Harrelson). But the evening is not a total loss: The lonely Frasier manages to persuade Rebecca to go to bed with him -- a romantic liaison that is, alas, doomed to be interrupted by several surprise visitors. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Cheers: Look Before You Sleep
While his apartment is being fumigated, Sam (Ted Danson) makes arrangements to sleep over at the home of a lady friend. Alas, the lady cancels and Sam locks himself out of Cheers, his second choice for a nocturnal resting place. One thing leads to another, culminating with him bunking at the home of garrulous Cliff Clavin (John Ratzenberger). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Cheers: One for the Road, Part 2
Originally telecast as a two-hour special (including a 25-minute retrospective of series highlights), the famous final episode of Cheers has since been re-edited as three separate half-hour installments for syndication. In part two, Sam (Ted Danson) persuades Rebecca (Kirstie Alley) to pose as his wife during an evening out with his old heartthrob Diane Chambers (Shelley Long), who brings along a "husband" who is about as authentic as Sam's spouse. Although the evening is a disaster, it serves to rekindle the fires of passion between Sam and Diane. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Cheers: Woody Gets an Election
Conducting an experiment to confirm his low opinion of the voting public, Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) puts a new name on the ballot for an upcoming city-council election -- Woody Boyd (Woody Harrelson), who proves surprisingly electable as the returns come in. Future Frasier regular Peri Gilpin appears as Holly Matheson, while former "Little Rascal" George "Spanky" McFarland shows up for a hilarious cameo. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Cheers: One for the Road, Part 3
Originally telecast as a two-hour special (including a 25-minute retrospective of series highlights), the famous final episode of Cheers has since been re-edited as three separate half-hour installments for syndication. In the concluding 30 minutes of this fourth-highest-rated series finale in TV history, Sam Malone (Ted Danson) and Diane Chambers (Shelley Long) have rekindled their romance and are on the verge of getting married. But this would require Sam to relocate to California -- and to close up Cheers. And what will become of the rest of the gang? Well, at least we know what happened to Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Cheers: Norm's Big Audit
Norm (George Wendt) goes into his soft soap act to dissuade hard-nosed IRS agent Dot Carroll (Sharon Barr) from auditing him. The canny Dot resists all of Norm's efforts -- except one. Meanwhile, Sam (Ted Danson) tries to prevent the Cheers gang from viewing a videotape of one of his less-inspired performances on the baseball diamond. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Cheers: Bar Wars VII: The Naked Prey
Harry Anderson returns as impish scam artist Harry the Hat. Sam (Ted Danson) enlists Harry's aid to avoid an embarrassing situation stemming from a wager made between Cheers and Gary's Old Towne Tap on the occasion of St. Patrick's Day. Since this may be the last time that Sam has an opportunity to win out over Gary's, Harry will have to pull more than a rabbit out of his celebrated hat. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Cheers: Rebecca Gaines, Rebecca Loses, Part 1
The opening sequences of this episode lead the Cheers gang to conclude that Cliff (John Ratzenberger) has, at long last, murdered his mother (Frances Sternhagen). On a less morbid note, Rebecca (Kirstie Alley) is led to believe that Kelly's wealthy father Mr. Gaines (Richard Doyle) is romantically interested in her. Originally a one-hour episode, "Rebecca Gaines, Rebecca Loses" has since been re-edited into two half-hour programs for syndication. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Cheers: The Bar Manager, the Shrink, His Wife and Her Lover
In the conclusion of a two-part story, Lilith (Bebe Neuwirth) returns to her estranged husband Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) just in time to find him in bed with Rebecca (Kirstie Alley). Notwithstanding, Lilith begs Frasier to give their marriage a second chance. Things take a hilariously dangerous turn when Lilith's wild-eyed lover Dr. Pascal (Peter Vogt) demands a showdown with Frasier -- literally, with gun in hand. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Cheers: The Last Picture Show
The Cheers gang waxes nostalgic over the closing of the Twi-Lite Drive-In, a favorite local rendezvous for everyone in his or her younger days. Packing the guys in the car to see the Drive-In's final show, Sam (Ted Danson) leaves Cheers' former owner Gus O'Malley (Pat Hingle) in charge. Before the night is over, Gus has driven Rebecca (Kirstie Alley) and Carla (Rhea Perlman) to the edge of insanity. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Cheers: Sunday Dinner
The proud possessor of a new camcorder, Cliff (John Ratzenberger) teams up with Norm (George Wendt) to videotape a family reunion being held at Cheers -- or at least the two buddies promise to do the job. Another family gathering is in store for Frasier (Kelsey Grammer), only he doesn't know it yet. It seems that Frasier, newly divorced from Lilith, assumes that his much-younger secretary Shauna (Kristen Cloke) wants to go on a date with him -- but Shauna has something entirely different in mind. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Cheers: It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Bar
Roger Rees returns as Robin Colcord, the multimillionaire jailbird -- and former sweetheart of Rebecca (Kirstie Alley). Though Robin insists that he has left prison an impoverished man, Rebecca believes that he is merely feigning his destitution to test her love. Meanwhile, the gang goes on a wild treasure hunt to locate a stuffed money belt that Robin claims to have squirreled away somewhere in Cheers. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Cheers: The Guy Can't Help It
Anxious to settle down and find true love, Sam (Ted Danson) must first suppress his womanizing instincts. To this end, he joins a support group for sexual compulsives.

Cheers: Loathe and Marriage
Carla's careless daughter Serafina (Leah Remini) has to get married before she begins to "show." Though Carla (Rhea Perlman) is not too upset over Serafina's pregnancy, she is outraged at the girl's wedding plans.
