The old sitcom Cheers is one of those classic TV comedies that never seems to get old. Despite being off the air for more than two decades — the series ran from 1982-1993 — episodes can still elicit genuine laugh-out-loud moments even today thanks to some brilliant lines, clever and funny plots, well-rounded characters, and an especially talented cast.
The entire series run is available on Netflix, and it was there this week I dialed up an episode from the first season titled “Endless Slumper,” one of a few written by the late Sam Simon who sadly passed a couple of months ago.
