Bar Bet - S3-E18

Corrected entry: Sam's friend Eddie shows up and says they made a bet a year ago while drinking tequila. This isn't possible, prior to his "falling off the wagon" when Diane left he hadn't had a drink in about five years (he told Diane 3 years in the pilot episode) and a year hadn't passed since he's fallen off the wagon when Diane left.

Correction: I am a recovering alcoholic, and teetotal, but even I occasionally have a relapse, generally when meeting old drinking buddies. I regret it to hell the next morning, but it happens - to me and to Sam.

Rebound (2) - S3-E2

Corrected entry: When Carla asks Frasier if he's "taken a good look at everyone else", the camera pans to the bar patrons. Dianne is sitting at the bar smiling. She wouldn't be drinking at Cheers because of her recent falling out with Sam. Dianne then comes in the bar looking for Frasier a minute later wearing different clothing. (00:06:50)

Correction: Just watched the scene and while the person has a slight resemblance to Diane, this is a different actor.

The Bartender's Tale - S3-E23

Revealing mistake: When Frasier comes into the chalet after skiing he doesn't show any of the visible effects after a hard day on the slopes. Meaning, his face isn't even flushed from the cold, his hair is perfectly combed after wearing a hat and there is not even a drop of snow on his boots.

Show generally

Question: Does anyone know whether the coloured-in photos, which appear throughout the opening titles sequence, are real or made up for the show? If they ARE real, when George Wendt's name appears there's a shot of a man holding a newspaper with 'WE WIN' as the headline - does anybody know what this referred to?

Chimera

Answer: Here is the source of the "WE WIN" photo: http://www.oldnycphotos.com/nyny587ac.html Brooklyn, of all places.

Chosen answer: The pictures in the opening sequences are real pictures of people enjoying alcohol (from various dates), and are not meant to represent or include any of the cast members. The "we win" sign (most likely not a newspaper headline) is referring to the end of prohibition (1933) A fitting tribute to a show about drinking alcohol.

The word "Nazi" appears in the caption to a story underneath the headline. Maybe the headline refers to the Nazi surrender.
