Memorable

There are certain stories that stand out over time. Like most reviewers, I was every episode of Cheers when they first aired. I anticipated this one and it didn't disappoint. Cliff has an appendectomy and is frightened. But none of his friends goes to the hospital to see him. They even forget he is having surgery. Frasier point out that he has rubbed people the wrong way and should have some therapy. What transpires is a hilarious but where a professional shocks Cliff every time he says something insensitive. A subplot is Sam teaching Lilith to drive so she can help on a road trip. One of the best of the Rebecca era which is finally ramping up.
