Cheers: The Sam in the Grey Flannel Suit (1988)
Season 6, Episode 20
Sam Goes Corporate
29 April 2011
Warning: Spoilers
This is a fun and easy episode in the heart of the transitional sixth season. The writers were capitalizing on the bar's corporate ownership storyline and the yuppie craze of the 80's by having Sam take an executive position. He soon discovers that the real reason he's been hired is to play on the company softball team and returns to work at Cheers. Can he really be that stupid to believe he's successful when he does nothing all day but listen to the laughing box? It's best not to ask too many questions.

Cliff uses the line, "not for all the bridges in Bridgeport," which is a reference to actor John Ratzenberger's actual hometown of Bridgeport, Connecticut. Rebecca is rapidly becoming the neurotic whack-job that she would be for the rest of the series' run.

CLASSIC LINE: "Okay, I admit it: I'm not a sad guy... I'm a happy, horny guy"

GRADE: B+
