CHEERS: FOR REAL MEN ONLY (TV)
Summary
One in this comedy series about a group of regulars at a Boston bar.
Rebecca is called upon to organize a retirement party for a middle-management employee, while Frasier and Lilith come in with their week-old baby Frederick. Frederick's bris is that afternoon, and the guys in the bar promise to attend. However, they instead skip out on the bris, as they are uncomfortable with the idea of watching a circumcision. Meanwhile, Rebecca makes preparations for the retirement party. Just as the guys decide to attend the bris after all, Frasier comes in with Frederick, having backed out of it himself. Norm advises him to go back and straighten things out with Lilith, but Frasier is scared, so the guys accompany him out.
Rebecca's party doesn't go over well, as the retiree, Larry, doesn't seem to be having a good time. Frasier returns from the bris with Frederick hidden under his coat and takes refuge in the back office. Rebecca's boss Mr. Sheraton arrives to look in on the party and Rebecca is at a loss as to what to do to improve it, particularly since Mr. Sheraton is Larry's friend and brother-in-law. Lilith and the men return and she goes into the back to berate Frasier. Sam suggests calling a service to order up a wet t-shirt contest for the party, and Rebecca reluctantly agrees. However, the contest doesn't go over well.
Lilith talks Frasier into going through with the bris, which an exasperated Rebecca allows to be performed at the retirement party. Ultimately, Larry ends up with one of the girls from the wet t-shirt contest and Mr. Sheraton approves, as it means Larry will be moving out of the house. The bris goes over well and Norm and Cliff are proud that they were able to sit through it. Lilith's reaction, however, is not quite as composed. Commercials deleted.
