synopsis
Future Seinfeld regular Michael Richards shows up in this episode as Sam's former bar buddy Eddie Gordon. Back during his drinking days, Sam (Ted Danson) bet Eddie that he would wed Jacqueline Bisset within one year, or else forfeit ownership of Cheers to Eddie. The year has passed and Eddie shows up at the pub to collect. Carla (Rhea Perlman) tries to save the day by pointing out a technicality: Sam agreed to marry "Jackie Bisset" all right, but he didn't specify which one. Originally scheduled to air February 14, 1985, this episode was bumped forward to March 16.
