Woody is trying to get into acting. He doesn't get the part butt becomes the understudy for the part of Mark Twain. He keeps on coming dressed as Mark Twain to the bar to always be ready to go on stage. And this is when an older woman gets interested in him. Woody thinks it is because she thinks he is her age and is worried about dumping her.

I love Woody's costume. Not just that but his performance at the end made one laugh as well. And the story is well done because until the end we believe that Woody is right and that old lonely lady really is in love with the guy she thinks is older. Nice to see Frasier and Lilith in between with their little vacation story.

Woody understudies the role of Mark Twain for a community theater production, so naturally he shows up to Cheers in full makeup and costume. Every day. An elderly female customer falls for him, confusing him for a man her own age. Or else she knows he's a young man but never says anything for some reason. You figure it out.

Plot holes aside, this is a sweet, funny episode. Anne Pitoniak guest stars as "dust in a dress" Mary, and she has a charm that is contagious and elevates the premise to the level of semi-plausible. This episode marks the start of Season Six's over-the-top sight gags as Lilith and Frasier appear in not one but TWO absurd costumes to convey their cruise vacation. Before departing the couple shows up in "Captain" and "First Mate" tees; returning home they appear in Capri pants and tied-off Hawaiian shirts while Kelsey Grammar mangles an island accent. This is Cheers at it's most cartoonish and cheesy, and it's just the start of the silliness to come. Otherwise this is harmless fun...
