Cheers

Cheers

61Watch it awake.

A great bar, and the show already knows Sam is not the man to copy.

Pass it on

The review

A Boston bar, eleven years of it, because the job and the household are the same room. Sam used to pitch, stopped drinking, runs the place, and still chases women. Diane is a graduate student. Carla, Norm, and Cliff are the regulars who turn a set into a neighborhood. A lot of the jokes are sexual. The show knows Sam isn't a model, which is the one mature habit near him.

Adults can take an episode and like the fact that people show up. Showing up counts. So does a recovered drinker choosing to work where the bottles are. The chase counts for less, and the writers know it. Laugh if he's funny. Don't hand his manner to a kid as charm. The show already said he isn't the model. Believe that part.

Keep Cheers in the record.

Can conscience actually stop someone, or is reverence only in the shot so it can be mocked?

Consider this

The Andy Griffith Show

73 instead of 61

The Andy Griffith Show is still a comedy show, and it scores 73 instead of 61. What you gain is temperance: Appetite is not the engine.

The eight

  1. 8
    Industry

    Sam runs the bar, and keeping the place open is the show's actual work.

  2. 7
    Household

    The regulars are the household, a chosen one, with no marriage at the center.

  3. 4
    Piety

    The show admits Sam is no model and still lets the chase be the weekly joke.

  4. 6
    Courage

    Staying a recovered drinker inside a bar is the risk that can still cost him.

  5. 6
    Republic

    A neighborhood bar is a small commons, and the regulars owe it their seats.

  6. 4
    Temperance

    The drinking stays stopped; the chasing is the want the joke will not retire.

  7. 7
    Truth

    It tells you he is not a model, so the charm does not get the last word.

  8. 7
    Stewardship

    Eleven years leave a room where the same people can still sit down.

If you quote Sam this week, add that the show already knows he is not a model.

The power is not the point. The dead in the town are.

Pass it on

The review

Hal Jordan and John Stewart come to Rushville because a killing looks, to Hal, like it did not start on Earth. The season also looks back from a later year in which Hal himself is dead. The public frame is two men, one of them new, and a ring that makes force easy, set down in a town with a sheriff and a body. This measure does not name a killer the recaps do not agree on.

What is firm is the order of the goods. A weapon that can do anything is a temptation to skip the town. The season is worth the sitting if the town stays the point. If the ring becomes the point, the measure drops.

Journal

Keep Lanterns in the record.

The Primer house filed 61. The season is over. We watched one hour and named what it was asking us to trust.

Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?

Signed, Sealed, Delivered

80 instead of 61

Signed, Sealed, Delivered is still a drama show, and it scores 80 instead of 61. What you gain is piety: Faith is the engine, not the punchline.

The eight

  1. 7
    Industry

    They have a job, and the job is a murder, not a sky.

  2. 5
    Household

    The public story is a partnership. A house is hinted in the childhoods and not yet the center.

  3. 5
    Piety

    The ring is an oath. Whether they keep it is the question the season is built to ask.

  4. 7
    Courage

    They stay in a small town that would rather they did not.

  5. 7
    Republic

    A dead person in Rushville is the case. The town is the people, not the backdrop.

  6. 6
    Temperance

    The ring could end the argument. The better hours are the ones where they do not.

  7. 6
    Truth

    A killing has a cause. The season, finished, is about whether they will say it.

  8. 6
    Stewardship

    What John does with the oath after Hal is the thing the last hours are for.

For this house

Keep going

The next title is the one nearest what this house keeps, then the measure where it is thin. Nothing here is a crowd. It does not leave this device.
