In Cheers season 6 episode 23, titled "Bar Wars," the gang at Cheers goes up against their rival bar, Gary's Olde Towne Tavern, in a prank war to end all prank wars. When the episode begins, the Cheers gang is already one prank behind, having been tricked into putting up a banner over the bar that reads "Gary's Olde Towne Tavern: More Than Just A Bar, It's A CULT!"
Determined to get revenge, Sam, Woody, and the rest of the Cheers regulars concoct a series of elaborate pranks designed to embarrass and infuriate Gary's Olde Towne Tavern. These include filling the rival bar's dartboard with shaving cream, rigging their jukebox to play only classical music, and even persuading a group of live musicians to perform a surprise concert in the middle of Gary's bar.
But the pranks escalate quickly, as both sides become more and more determined to humiliate the other. Soon, the rivalry has spilled out into the streets, with cars being towed, windows being egged, and innocent bystanders getting caught in the crossfire.
As the episode goes on, the pranks get more and more ridiculous, culminating in a finale that involves an exploding piano, a marching band, and an epic showdown between Sam and Gary, both armed with water balloons and determined to emerge victorious. Along the way, we see the gang at Cheers grow closer than ever, united in their determination to beat their rivals and prove that they're the best bar in Boston.
