Also, I blog 'Cheers' one episode at a time here.

A Year of ‘Cheers’: S01E05 - Coach’s Daughter

Wow, Cliff just showed up for the first time (I think) all super-casual… and then he becomes a regular at some point? Right?

What I can’t get over is the ensemble nature of the cast - they all just click together. It really feels organic. All these people seem like they’re in season 6, not episode 5. The games they play (right from the opening of the episode) show that they’re a clan in that bar.

This storyline - the father hating his daughter’s fiance - seems like something I’ve seen before, but the turning point wasn’t what I expected. She wasn’t pregnant? Whaaa? And she cares what her dad thinks?

NB - What is Shelley Long wearing? Wow.

Also, I’m noticing that we’re never time-dashing. It’s just all happening in a row. I guess that’s what you have to do when you’re only in one location?

A YEAR OF CHEERS: S01E04 - SAM AT ELEVEN

Two three things really stick out in this episode to me.

1) Who in the world is that guy playing the sportscaster. It’s like my childhood 1980s brain just slightly recognizes him.

2) Sam gets cemented into being successful and likable, and in the same episode we see that he’s kind of a hero only to the peopleinthe bar. He’s made this place where it’s just just ‘Sam’ the bar owner… he has a crew of people who all look up to him as a hero.

3) …except, of course, for Diane. Because she’s this incredible, honestly-played foil who just doesn’t care (OR DOES SHE?), and the scene where she flips Sam onto the pool table felt like such a great physical representation of what they’re slowly doing as characters.

I am loving this show more and more.

Old friends, new city. Thanks for stopping over for a few hours.

Perspective.

Tuesdays are nine-hour days that include two classes and a rehearsal. It’s a mirth marathon, to be alliterative. But how can being tired, or working super hard, or churning up idea after idea really be discouraging? It’s putting in work at something you want to do.

Something that popped into my head today during a class was this: “We found the hardest way to make $30,000 a year and we’re chasing it.” I love this, and I love the hardest parts the most.

Emo rant OVER.

I think I could easily be kidnapped by a trail of chocolate milkshakes. Like, if you spread them out juuuuust far enough apart, I would be like ‘Oooh! Milkshakes!’ and just follow the trail into the van and then be like, ‘Hey guys, have you tried these shakes?’
