Airdate:
11/16/89
Frasier and Lilith are having a briss
for their newborn son, Frederick (Sam is relieved to hear it’s a circumcision
for – the baby), but the Cheers crew,
all men, appears to be squeamishly bailing out of the event, including Frasier!
With baby in hand, he makes a fast getaway to the sanctum of Rebecca’s office,
but Lilith holds a marathon coaxing session, with the end result being the
continuation of the snipping ceremony – in the pool room, the same venue as a
Rebecca’s-hosted retirement party for one of the corporate “deadheads.”
Everything, including a wet T-shirt contest (long story), turns out to be a
success. All in a day’s work at Cheers: your one-stop shopping for any event
hosting you need!
We learn that Lilith is Jewish (I
suppose the name was a giveaway) and that her and Frasier’s son will be raised
the same way. The concept of a briss just lends itself to comedy, and the
Cheers’ scribes mined that vein thoroughly. Subplot is also a follow-up: Carla
wants to pass around a petition to have her late husband Eddie’s hockey number
retired (even if she has to forge half the names). It doesn’t pass; but she
does get what she originally wanted: season tickets.
Cold open: Woody shares his boyhood
memory quilt – which contains relics, and reminders, of his multiple brushes
with death. How cheerful.
