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.

What's Up, Doc? - S7-E18

Plot hole: At closing time, Cliff, Norm and Woody spontaneously decide to go to Cliff's house. Sam then enters the bar after his date at Melville's. Later in the scene, Rebecca asks Sam about the 'Three Stooges', to which Sam sarcastically replies that they went to Cliff's house. But how could he possibly know that since he entered the scene after they had already left.

One for the Road (3) - S11-E28

Question: When I streamed this episode, there were a couple of small scenes missing (Sam explaining that his cigars were a gift from Fidel Castro via Reggie Jackson; Sam kissing Rebecca goodbye). I know they used to cut scenes to cram in more commercials after the initial broadcast, but with a streaming service, you're not limited to a time slot. Why not air the whole thing?

Answer: They sometimes acquire episodes from syndicated reruns. The ones with the cut scenes. Sundance channel have some episodes of M.A.S.H. uncut.
