Fountain of Youth

[Hitchcoc · 8/10 · 15 August 2019]

Cliff is hard to take at times, but here he becomes a bit more attractive. When Cheers has a Halloween costume party, Cliff dresses as Ponce de Leon and meets a woman who is taken with him. They bring the idea of shyness to a new level. But the costumes allow them to have a hiding place and that sets up the eventual meeting of the two.

Fairy Tales Can Come True (#3.4)

[ComedyFan2010 · 8/10 · 10 May 2014]

It is Halloween and Frasier has to leave the city. He was supposed to go with Diane to an event, he suggests her to go with Sam. And they do. Cliff meets a woman during Halloween, but is afraid to meet her without his mask on. Turns out she is afraid of meeting him as well,but when she comes they have a great moment again.

I like Halloween episodes. They had some great costumes too. I loved Coach as a pirate.

I also liked Cliff's story, my favorite of him so far. Him meeting this woman was very sweet and I wonder if they keep him having the relationship. Especially as she is so much like him. The best part was Sam getting them to dance at the end.

In this episode we have to main storylines: First, Frasier has to leave the city and leaves Diane with tickets to a concert , and suggests Diane to take Sam. Cliff has an encounter with a mask woman at the Halloween Party, and sets up a date for the following day with unexpected results. I quite liked this episode, Cliff's storyline is great, without a doubt his best yet, and all the scenes he is in are very funny, specially the last scene with Sam, that was gold! The storyline with Sam and Diane although a good one, didn't have the proper conclusion, I find it kind of bizarre that Frasier it's always setting Diane and Sam up, but since he is a shrink, it kind of makes sense I suppose. Great episode, nonetheless, a Cliff episode! 8/10 ******** Peter Shelby

Cliff's Romantic Moment

[dgplatt-60121 · 8/10 · 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)
