Cheers is filmed
before a live studio audience.

Hey, holy moly, guacamole!

- Normie.
- Huh?

See that guy down there?

I think that might be Spanky McFarland
from the old Little Rascals.

- Yeah, I think so.
- Really?

I'll go ask him. I'll go check it out.

Hey, how you doing, sir?

- Hi.
- Hey, my name's Cliff Clavin.

Hello, Cliff.

You know, I know you've probably
heard this a thousand times before,

but you do resemble that child actor
Spanky McFarland from The Little Rascals.

- Well, that's because--
- 'Cause I'm one of the biggest

Little Rascals fans that ever was.

I mean, I got every episode on tape.

You know, well, except Free Eats
and Captain Spanky's Showboat.

- That's great--
- Yeah, Alfalfa,

Darla, Buckwheat. Heh!

You know, I got to confess,
I had quite a big crush on Darla.

I got to tell you, you know,
if you were Spanky,

boy, I could sit here and chew
on your ear for hours

about Happy Birthday, Mr. Hood

and the He-Men Women-Haters Club.

And, hey, remember the sound
the cake made coming out of the oven?

Waaa-ohh. Huh?

So... Are you Spanky?

Nope.

Ah! Take care.

Catch you later.

You are Spanky, aren't you?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, no. Who's this guy?

Oh, well, that's Mr. Kevin Fogerty,
our city councilman.

He's been there for three
consecutive terms.

Running for re-election now.
Nobody dares run against him.

He's also very, very rude to voters

who call with perfectly normal
and good suggestions.

Okay, Mr. Clavin, remember the rules.

You have to keep at least 50 feet

from Mr. Fogerty at all times.

I know. All right, all right.

Just to be safe,
I better go back in the poolroom.

I remember Fogerty.

He was here a couple of years ago
trying to get our votes.

Oh, yeah. He bought me a beer.

Did you vote for him?

He bought me a beer.

Something has to be done,
and the time is now.

There he goes,

spouting a bunch
of meaningless platitudes,

and sure enough, the people
are lapping it up like milk.

The mentality of the voter in this country
fascinates me.

Someday I ought to do a paper about it.

What's your problem with Fogerty?
He's not a bad guy.

Oh. All right, Sam.
Why don't you ask him a question?

I'll bet you ten bucks all he gives you is

some meaningless politician's rhetoric.

Yeah, all right.

Come on. You're on.

Excuse me, Mr. Fogerty, sir.

Can I speak to you for a second?

I'm Sam Malone.
I'm the owner of the bar.

Got a question for you.

I'm a small businessman,
and I was just wondering,

when is this economy
gonna turn around?

I'm glad you asked that.

I say now is the time

to roll up our shirt-sleeves
and get to the bottom of this.

The only way we're going
to defeat this thing

is if we all do it together.

I think you owe me ten bucks.

Hi. Kevin Fogerty, City Council.

Kevin Fogerty, City Council.

I hope I have your vote on election day.

And why exactly should I vote for you,
Mr. Fogerty?

Well, because I'm a hard worker.

I take a stand.

On what, exactly?

The issues of the day.

Which are?

The things that concern you
and your family the most.

I think you're making
an ass out of yourself.

I am not! I simply want the councilman

to say one concrete thing.

Yes, I understand. You don't trust me.

A lot of people don't trust politicians.

I know how it is. I have been out there.

What does that have to do--

May I finish, please?

Maybe we need someone to blame.

Maybe if we pick some
faceless person at City Hall

to be responsible for all our problems,

then we won't have to accept
any responsibility at all.

Well, people, I say now is the time

to start looking in the mirror,

because if this thing is going to work,

we are all going
to have to make it work,

the way a bunch of people
made something work

at Lexington and Concord.

You may remember it. It's called...

America.

Yes! Bravo!

Whoo!

But he didn't say anything!

Thank you, people, for proving my point.

The voters of Boston are sheep.

No, I thought that was just
a Hanover thing.

Look, all I'm saying is that
when it comes to voting,

people just shut off their brains.

I submit we could put
a chimpanzee on the ballot

and garner ten percent of the vote.

Ho ho! Two Hanover things in one day?

You're exaggerating a little bit,
aren't you?

No, Sam, I'm not.

Look, you know what?
I'll go you one better.

I'll bet we could put Woody on the ballot
and get ten percent of the vote.

Yeah, all right.
I'll take ten dollars of that.

All right. You're on.

You know, come to think of it,

this'll make a fascinating study
of voter psychology.

I submit if we just put
Woody's name on the ballot,

circulate a few posters
of his attractive, smiling face

over some meaningless slogan,
come election day,

we'll get ten percent of the vote.

Come on, man.

Oh, okay, I'll prove it to all of you.

I'll start the process by getting his name

on the ballot this very afternoon.

I don't know, Dr. Crane. I'm not so sure

I want to get mixed up in all this.

Mixed up in what, Woody?

Oh, Dr. Crane wants me
to run for City Council.

Oh, Woody, that's a wonderful idea.

- It is?
- I'd be so proud if you were a politician.

Oh, Kelly, I'm not going
to get mixed up in politics.

You live your life in a fishbowl,

everybody hates you,

the press is always criticizing you.

There's no way I'm running
for public office.

All right, Mr. Stubborn.

From now on, you can dance naked

in front of the lava lamp
all by your lonesome.

Well, maybe just one term.

Well, step one of my plan is complete.

Woody Boyd is now on the ballot
for City Council.

I'll be damned. How'd you do that?

Well, it was really no trouble at all.

I simply stood out
in front of a supermarket

with a petition.

When people asked me
who I was supporting, I said,

"Woody Boyd, the man who stands
for the American way."

Well, the sheep couldn't sign
their names fast enough.

I also put up about
three hundred of these guys here.

Three hundred?
You think that's gonna be enough?

Well, there's no need to go crazy.

I only need to get ten percent
of the eligible vote.

Well, in that case, why don't you just

put them up on Carla's headboard?

Oh...

Clavin, Clavin, Clavin.

When are you going to learn?

You see, now, I have to retaliate.

No, you don't have to, Carla.

You know, we could just pretend
I didn't say anything

and just forget all about it, huh?

I can't forget. You know that.

All right. Well, just get it
over with fast, then, will you?

All right. Thank you.

No, that's for even asking.

You can't hurry an artist. Ha ha ha ha!

Woody Boyd?

Right here.

Holly Matheson, Boston Herald.

I understand you're running
for City Council.

- Yes, ma'am.

- You mind if I ask you a few questions?

Oh, I guess that would be okay.

Ha ha! Here's where your
great experiment hits the wall, pal.

Well, maybe, maybe not.

It's all part of the experiment.

Let's start with our police force--

Morale is at an all-time low.

Officers are underpaid and overworked.

What do you plan to do?

Well, I don't know much
about big city stuff.

I was raised on a farm.

Oh, I get it. This is your hook.

You're the innocent farm boy
telling the big city slickers

to clean up the barn
and all that farm crap.

Well, no, it's not crap.

If you don't clean up the barn,
you get rats.

Yes, yes.

So, in other words,
it's time to clean up City Hall.

Well, I'm just saying
that if you let the rats go,

then, you know, pretty soon
you don't have a barn.

You just have kind of a...
A rat place.

Okay, so if we don't do something now

we'll loose our fair city.
Blah, blah, blah.

You know my Grandpa Boyd
caught a rat the size of a pig

or was it a pig the size of a rat?

Well either way,
it was a big hit at the county fair.

So what you're saying is,

there are no easy answers.

Well, not for me, there aren't.

You really believe this farm stuff,
don't you?

All my heart.

Well, it's kind of a cornball message,

but you just might be the kind of guy
who can sell that stuff.

Oh, thanks, ma'am.

Woody, that was absolutely brilliant.

Ha. Some reporter.

She didn't even want
to ask me about politics.

Oh, listen to this.

"Race in District Three
is the one to watch

between incumbent Kevin Fogerty

and his idealistic young challenger,
Woody Boyd.

Even this cynical reporter

was impressed by Boyd's simple,
straightforward approach."

Ha ha ha!

Well, according to the latest poll,

candidate Boyd now stands
at eight percent.

Now, do I need to go
for the two remaining percent,

or have I proved my point?

You have proved your point. You win.

Ha ha ha! Very well.
Thank you very much.

I guess I can put an end to this farce.

I'll take the posters down tomorrow.

Hey, hey, turn on the news.

Fogerty just got arrested
for public drunkenness.

- You're kidding.
- Good God, this will be a major scandal.

You know, this could really rock
his campaign.

I bet the person who's running
against him is pretty happy.

You know, I bet if we just

printed up a few more posters...

Yeah. Maybe some
door-to-door canvassing...

Yeah. Make some personal appearances...

We're going for it!

Yay! Yeah!

Whoo!

Going for what? I missed a step.

Hi. I'd like to tell you
about candidate Woody Boyd.

He's challenging the status quo

and he's listening
to the voters for a change.

And while I have you on the phone,

could I get two large pizzas
with everything?

So... You don't plan to vote
for Woody Boyd?

Now according to the phone book
your address is 151 Richmond?

Do your children like to run and play?

No, it's Boyd. B-O-Y-D.

Well, he's destined for greatness.

He's one of the sharpest
young political minds

to come along in quite a long time.

He's absolutely brilliant.

Me?

Well, I am... I'm 26.

You're not 26.

If Woody can be brilliant, I can be 26.

Well, never seen all you guys
work so hard.

Yeah, well, Paul, you see,

most of us guys who hang around here
day in, day out,

now, we frankly don't have
much going for ourselves,

and Woody here has a shot
at actually making the big time.

It's like he stands for all of us losers.

Even me?

Especially you, Paul.

Wow.

Everyone, I'd like your attention, please.

As you know, it's just 48 hours

until the big election day.

And I've been charting
our progress up until now,

and I'd like to say with all confidence
that I'm going to win!

We're going to win!

Woody Boyd is going to be

the next city councilman
of this fair district!

Gosh, Dr. Crane--

Not now Woody, I'm talking

Now listen. I know we're not in the lead

but I can smell victory.

Now I just want you all
to keep up the heat.

Let's not stop until we reach
the victory party!

Well, Carla, I see you retaliated.

Yeah, it turns out
she slipped me a mickey

so I'd fall asleep in the poolroom.

As it turns out, I woke up to find
that she had tied my shoelaces together.

Fortunately, I noticed it
before I took my first step.

Good try, Carla.

Better luck next time.

Excuse me. I have to go do my route now.

Excuse me. Kevin Fogerty, City Council.

I just wanted you to know

that I have always supported
you people.

Too little, too late, Fogerty.

Woody Boyd.

Hi, Mr. Fogerty.

So you're the young man
everyone is talking about.

Well, it's nice to finally meet you
in person.

You know, you remind me
of a bright young comer

that took this town
by storm 30 years ago.

His name was... Kevin Fogerty.

Any relation?

Ah! Ha ha!

Boy, I'm looking forward
to our debate tomorrow.

Debate?

Of course. On Channel Six.

It's a tradition
whenever there's a challenger.

I think the voters deserve to hear
our stands on the issues, don't you?

Oh, yes, of course we do,
and we'll be there, sir.

Good.

I'm really looking forward
to hearing your opinions.

I don't know if I can handle
a debate, Dr. Crane.

I'm not very good at rendering my opinion.

Nothing to worry about, Woody.

Just tell some more
of those farm stories.

People seem to love those.

If that doesn't work, just say the word
"change" about 100 times.

Come on, let's go to my place
and work on it. Trust me, Woody.

With my brains and your smile,
who knows how high we can go?

Congressman, senator...

Who knows?

Would you please raise your right hand

and repeat after me?

I, Woodrow Tiberius Boyd,
do solemnly swear...

I, Woodrow Tiberius Boyd,
do solemnly swear...

That I will faithfully execute

The Office of the President
of the United States

and will to the best of my ability

preserve, protect, and defend

The Constitution of the United States.

That I will faithfully...

Faithfully...

Execute.

Execute...

The...

The...

- Office...
- Office...

- Of...
- Of...

- The...
- The...

- President of the--
- I got that.

The President of the United States...

And will to the best of my ability

preserve and protect and defend

The Constitution of the United States.

Oh, boy.

And...

And...

- Will...
- Will...

- Protect...
- Protect...

Oh, yeah? Well, I'm calling your bluff.

I'm firing my missiles, too. All of them!

Who was that, Woody?

How the hell should I know?

The phone rings, I answer it.

Aah!

Woody! Thank God I got to you in time.

I got to talk to you.

What are you reading?

I'm boning up on The Constitution

in case I ever decide
to run for congreff.

It's congress, Woody.

In colonial times,
the S's looked like F's.

Oh. Well, if I'm elected,

that's the first thing
I'm going to change.

Yes. Woody, I'm sorry.

There's one thing I've got to tell you.
Listen.

You have got to withdraw
from the election.

What do you mean, Dr. Crane?

Well, aside from the nagging feeling
that your election

Might actually mean the extinction
of all life as we know it,

you're just not a politician.

Yeah, but you said it would be easy.

In fact, you said not being a politician
was my hook.

I know, Woody. I'm sorry. Listen, I--

I shouldn't have led you on.
I guess I was just...

...drawn in by the promise of power.

Oh, but Dr.--

No "but, Dr. Cranes."
Now, Woody, just listen to me.

Listen, the right to vote
is far too sacred

to cheapen by some vain,
psychological experiment.

I mean, your winning an election

without knowing anything at all
about politics

would just make a mockery
of the entire democratic process.

Woody, you have to withdraw.

Well, there's no sense
in arguing with you, Dr. Crane.

I mean, next to Mr. Clavin,

you're the smartest guy I know.

Well, what about the debate?

They're expecting me to go over there.

Woody, you'll just have
to make a simple speech

and gracefully bow out.

Oh. I guess you're right, Dr. Crane.

I got to do what I got to do.

It's too bad, though.

I was really looking forward
to being a good city councilman

and working hard to make sure that

every person in my district
was insured...

Life, liberty...

And the purfuit of happineff.

Welcome to the District Three
City Council candidates' debate.

To my immediate right
is councilman Kevin Fogerty.

Boo! Boo! Boo!

To his right is the challenger,
Woodrow Boyd.

Yay! Yay!

Before we begin the questions,

each candidate will make
a brief opening statement.

Mr. Boyd?

Well, this is the hardest thing
I've ever had to do.

As much as I've enjoyed
getting to know you all, I...

I have to bow out of the race.

What the hell? Huh?

The fact is, I'm really not
much of a politician.

In fact, I really don't know
much about anything.

I just-- I just wanted to--

I thought it'd be nice to be
a city councilman. I mean...

I'd do a good job, too. I promise.

How bad could I screw up?

I mean, it's not like a councilman
can declare war or anything.

I couldn't, could I?

It's just one vote.
I mean, would it kill you to vote for me?

Oh, don't cry, Woody.

Oh, well, this is my wife Kelly,

and she deserves better
than just a simple bartender.

Oh, it's all right.

I love you, Woody.

I love you, too, Kelly.

In fact, we both love you.

Both?

Yes.

This probably isn't the ideal time
to tell you, but...

You're going to be a daddy.

I'm gonna be...

I'm gonna--
Oh!

Did you hear that, everybody?
I'm going to be a daddy!

Ha ha ha ha!

I love this country!

W-A-D-Wis now projecting
a winner in District Three.

Challenger Woody Boyd
has been elected to City Council.

All right! Way to go, Woody!
Hey, congratulations.

I am so proud of you!

Oh, Sam.

Hey, good luck, all right?

Don't forget that little talk we had

about extending
unemployment benefits.

Consider it done, Mr. Peterson.

Oh, hey, Dr. Crane, listen...

I just wanted to thank you, you know.

Without you, I couldn't have done this.

In fact, you're directly responsible.

No one can prove that.

I know you don't have
a lot of faith in me, Dr. Crane,

but I'm going to prove you wrong.

I'm going to study hard on all the issues

and I'm going to be
a great city councilman

and maybe this is just the first rung

on a very long ladder,

and you're the man who made it happen.
