Episode Details

Join us on this episode of pplpod as we head back to the bar for a comprehensive look at Cheers Season 7. We discuss how the 1988 Writers Guild of America strike impacted the season premiere and explore the shifting power dynamics between Sam Malone (Ted Danson) and Rebecca Howe (Kirstie Alley) as Rebecca struggles to climb the corporate ladder at the Lillian Corporation.

We break down the season's most memorable story arcs, including Woody Boyd (Woody Harrelson) beginning his romance with wealthy socialite Kelly Gaines and Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer) and Lilith Sternin (Bebe Neuwirth) preparing for the birth of their first child. We also look at Carla Tortelli’s rocky marriage to ice-show performer Eddie LeBec and how the show managed to win the Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series even as key producers left to form the company that would later create Frasier and Wings.

Whether you are a fan of classic 80s sitcoms or just want to go where everybody knows your name, tune in for this ultimate retrospective on one of television's strongest ensemble seasons.
