The ninth season of Cheers, an American television sitcom, originally aired on NBC in the United States between September 20, 1990, and May 3, 1991. The show was created by director James Burrows and writers Glen and Les Charles under production team Charles Burrows Charles Productions, in association with Paramount Television.
Cheers is a sitcom that started in 1982. Though it experienced early low ratings, the show became a part of mainstream culture. The sitcom is set in a Boston bar originally owned by Sam Malone, a retired baseball pitcher, but Sam sells the bar at the start of Season 6. Waitress Carla Tortelli, bartender Woody Boyd and manager Rebecca Howe, work at the bar and serve regular patrons Norm Peterson, Cliff Clavin and Frasier Crane. The show was a key part of NBC's "Must See TV" Thursday night lineup.
To beat Gary's Olde Towne Tavern in a $5,000-wager basketball game, Cheers acquires the Boston Celtics' Kevin McHale by claiming the game as a charity for orphans. Kevin eventually realizes the ruse and then relents when the Cheers gang does not want to risk losing their money. Kevin arranges the charity plan with a friend who is part of an orphanage's board of director. In the game, Kevin helps Cheers win by mostly scoring and then has a foot injury. After the game, a fake doctor sent by Gary (Joel Polis) falsely claims the injury to be more severe, prompting the gang to give the "doctor" $5,000 to cover the expense. Then, in contrast, Kevin appears walking healthily, so the gang realizes Gary's ploy. Gary is photographed with an oversized $5,000-check, Kevin, and a priest, devastating the Cheers gang.
As one of their manipulations on others, Norm and Cliff pretend to be a credit card company claiming that a credit card used by Frasier to pay for drinks was reported "stolen". Sam destroys the card, causing a rift between Sam and Frasier. Feeling guilty, Norm and Cliff admit the scheme and then, as punishment, surrender their own credit cards, which are to be destroyed by Woody on Sam's behalf. Meanwhile, Woody repeatedly buys items from a shopping channel, making him shopaholic.
Kelly brings Henrí (Anthony Cistaro) with her to Boston after a trip to France. Unbeknownst to her, his plan is to steal her away from Woody, who in turn becomes jealous and worried. Hoping to improve the relationship, Woody takes Kelly out to a cheap motel, suggested by Sam, for premarital sex. However, Carla arrives to stop them and tells them that making out in the same motel, where she got pregnant at age sixteen as claimed, is a bad idea for their precious love. Then the couple decide to save their moment for the right time, while Carla occupies the room in order to seduce Henrí. Meanwhile, Cliff tells his friends that he plans to freeze his head after death, but they mock him and his plans. Cliff, Frasier, and one of Frasier's colleagues pull a prank on the other patrons by bringing a box with a frozen head to the bar, which turns out to be only a microcassette in a metal box. In return, Frasier, Norm, and Paul pull a counter-prank on Cliff by pretending to have Norm alive yet decapitated.
