Cliffie's Big Score (#4.16)

Warning: Spoilers
Cliff is having a postman ball and invites Diane to go with him. She says she is busy, so he invites Carla and has to pay her for coming but then Diane decides that it is better to go with Cliff and as he rather go with her he gets Carla another date as she finds out about it though she has a little revenge on him.
Cliff is pretty fun in this episode, I like his character more and more. The scene where he follows Carla's advice and sings to Diane is hilarious, also thanks to Diane's great facial expressions.
Carla's date was pretty fun as well, there wasn't too much of him and at first I thought it was the guy from Up'n smoke, but it was somebody else

a solid "average" Cheers episode
grizzledgeezer1 May 2015
I'm giving this episode "only" a 7, because it represents the kind of high "average" quality (if that makes any sense) that Cheers consistently maintained. For most other comedy series, it would get an 8, or even a 9.
The plot is standard sitcom, with Cheers' writers and actors showing what they could do with otherwise worn-out ideas.
The most-interesting character is Cliff's co-worker, Lucas, played by Timothy Scott (usually billed as Tim Scott). The reason he looks so tall is not so much that he /is/ tall, but that everyone else is so short. The heights given in IMDb are exaggerated. For example...
Tom Skerritt is listed as 6', but I'm 5'9", and almost tower over him. (He's a cute li'l scudder, 'bout 5'5".) Ted Danson is listed as 6'2", but in scenes with Skerritt, it's obvious he's only slightly taller.
As Lucas, Scott resembles a badly wasted hippie, whose conversation is a series of near-incomprehensible mumbles. His best-known role was as Pea-Eye Parker in "Lonesome Dove", absolutely perfect casting.
