Ep 4. The Magnificent Six

The Magnificent Six is the fourth episode of the eleventh season of the iconic TV show Cheers. The episode follows the gang at Cheers as they attempt to organize a charity basketball game against a rival bar, Gary's Old Towne Tavern. The game is meant to raise money for a local children's charity, with each bar putting forth a team of six players to compete against each other.

The episode opens with Sam and Woody frantically trying to recruit players for the Cheers team. Woody suggests that they ask Frasier, Carla, and Cliff to join, along with a basketball player who frequents the bar. After a bit of convincing, everyone agrees to play, despite their lack of basketball skills.

Meanwhile, Gary's Old Towne Tavern has put together a team of talented basketball players, including former NBA player Spud Webb. The Cheers gang is worried they will be easily defeated, but they are determined to put up a good fight for the children's charity.

As the day of the game approaches, tensions rise between the two teams. The Cheers gang spends hours practicing, believing that they can win the game if they work hard enough. However, when they arrive at the gym, they are disheartened to see how strong the Gary's Old Towne Tavern team is.

The game begins, and it quickly becomes clear that Cheers is no match for their opponents. Despite their best efforts, they are unable to make a dent in the other team's lead. In the middle of the game, Woody is injured and has to leave the court, leaving Cheers with only five players.

Just when it seems like all hope is lost, a surprise guest arrives to help the Cheers team: former Boston Celtics player Kevin McHale. With his skills and experience, McHale is able to turn the game around for Cheers, leading them to victory.

The Magnificent Six is a heartwarming episode that showcases the power of teamwork and determination. Despite their initial doubts, the Cheers gang is able to come together to raise money for a great cause. The addition of Kevin McHale adds an unexpected twist to the episode and provides a satisfying conclusion to the story. Fans of Cheers will love this episode for its humor, heart, and classic characters.
