Coach volunteers
to be the new coach of a floundering little league team, and turns into a
tyrant! Despite an improved record, no one on the team seems to be having any
fun, and so Sam and Diane agree to talk to Coach to get him to cool his
temperament. He gathers the team together and tells them a story – the wrong
story – but turns back into Mr. Nice Guy, for the benefit of both the team and
the bar.
Average episode,
which means by Cheers standards it’s
still pretty good. Fun to see a different side of coach. Funniest scene
involves sublot: Carla attempts to breastfeed her newborn in front of everyone
at Cheers, until they boo her out, calling the spectacle “indecent.” They then
proceed to ogle women’s breasts in Playboy!
An interesting topic, presented years before it became such a hot button
subject.
Cold open: On
the phone, Carla calms her baby with a rendition of “Too Ra Loo Ra Loo Ral,”
which everyone at the bar joins in on.
Norm’s opener:
Norm’s already at the bar. It’s actually Cliff who has the opening entrance
here, announcing his raise.
