Episode Details

This week on pplpod, we head back to Boston to review Cheers Season 8, the pivotal season where Sam Malone (Ted Danson) fights to reclaim the bar and Rebecca Howe (Kirstie Alley) falls for the devious billionaire Robin Colcord. We break down the season’s wildest arcs, including Carla Tortelli’s discovery of her late husband’s secret second wife and the birth of Frasier and Lilith’s son, Frederick.

We also revisit one of the most iconic moments in sitcom history: Cliff Clavin’s unforgettable appearance on Jeopardy! in the episode "What Is... Cliff Clavin?". Join us as we discuss the chemistry between Woody Harrelson and Kelly Gaines, the downfall of the Lillian Corporation, and the performances that earned this season three Emmy Awards and two Golden Globes.
