In "Love Thy Neighbor," the eighth episode of season four of Cheers, the bar is buzzing with excitement as a new neighbor moves into the building next door. Sam (Ted Danson), Woody (Woody Harrelson), and Carla (Rhea Perlman) are all eager to get to know the newcomer, but they soon discover that she is not exactly what they expected.
The new neighbor is a beautiful young woman named Denise (played by Genie Francis), and Sam is immediately smitten with her. He goes out of his way to impress her, but she seems more interested in spending time with Woody, who she finds charming and down-to-earth.
Meanwhile, Rebecca (Kirstie Alley) is feeling left out of the excitement over the new neighbor, as she is preoccupied with her own love life. She has been having trouble sleeping ever since she started dating Robin (Roger Rees), a man who is easily distracted by other women. Rebecca is worried that he is cheating on her, and she turns to Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) for advice.
Frasier, who is still infatuated with Rebecca himself, tries to comfort her and offer her advice, but his efforts only seem to make things worse. Rebecca becomes more and more paranoid that Robin is cheating on her, and she starts to behave erratically.
As the night wears on, tensions rise at the bar. Sam becomes increasingly jealous of Woody's relationship with Denise, and Carla is fed up with their bickering. Meanwhile, Rebecca's anxiety reaches a breaking point, and she makes a dramatic decision about her relationship with Robin.
"Love Thy Neighbor" is a classic episode of Cheers, filled with the show's trademark wit, humor, and insight into human nature. It explores themes of jealousy, insecurity, and trust in relationships, and it does so in a way that is both entertaining and thought-provoking. Whether you're a long-time fan of Cheers or a newcomer to the series, this episode is a must-see.
