Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Inveterate antique collector Coach (Nicholas Colasanto) has purchased an old-fashioned weight machine, the kind that dispenses fortune cards. At first aloof to the machine's charms, the Cheers gang becomes fascinated when the old relic's "predictions" prove to be remarkably accurate. Unfortunately, Diane (Shelley Long) receives a fortune card that bodes ill for her future relationship with Sam (Ted Danson). This is the episode in which tight-mouthed barfly Al (Al Rosen) speaks for the very first time.
