Cliff's Romantic Moment
13 March 2024
It's Halloween at Cheers, and Florida-obsessed Cliff has taken the opportunity to dress up as his hero, Ponce De Leon. Filled with courage at being someone else, Cliff charms a shy woman in costume as Tinkerbell. The gang encourage Cliffie, who gets cold feet at trying to meet her the day after. Meanwhile Sam and Diane go to a Boston Pops concert to see if they can see each other with no sexual tension.

This is a sweet episode with a lot of funny moments. The gang's costumes fit their personalities, right down to Norm's not-really-trying Nixon mask. Coach's bizarre story about Duke Roberts has a perfect punchline (" Do you think he'd like to meet Cliffie?") And Frasier's attempt to introduce a little highbrow content by reciting the Raven ("That was POE") is a cute little gag.

(Note: this is one case where syndication has replaced a classic song - "Moon River" - with sappy generic music. Usually this can be ignored, but this is a particularly egregious example)
