My sister was obsessed with the North and South mini-series of the 80s, based on the book series. It starred a young Patrick Swayze as the Confederate protagonist, and James Reed as his Union counterpart. I always think of him from that, a few years after this. And as Jimmy Olsen’s dad, of course!
I don’t recall seeing this episode, but it definitely sounds like then ending would sound the alarms today. But at least Cheers isn’t like, say, Three’s Company or something. I bet that show doesn’t hold up at all nowadays!

Another Shakespeare reference (in the title) to show the creators are more Dianes than they are Sams.
Shelley had to work so hard on that charades bit. It was basically a monologue in the middle of a blank-faced crowd. Excellent stuff.
I don’t want to dig too much into the ending, but a crazy thought, it’s amazing the censors didn’t have a problem with a scene like this. Back then, it was a struggle to let Sam say “Damn”. But assault? Wow. That’s almost more telling how times have changed.
And hats off to the actors that carried Norman Caesar. Hey, George is a big guy. Hope they got hazard pay.
I listened to this to get away from the news of politicians not giving credence to a woman’s claims of assault. It didn’t work.
