Cheers’ pilot episode “Give Me a Ring Sometime”

Welcome to the Pilots and Petards Podcast! This is the podcast with nothing much ado about aircrafts, but potentially everything ado with first episodes of a filmic series. Join Drew, Mo, and Jimbo with special guest Jacke Wilson from The History of Literature Podcast. Tune in as they cast judgment and determine if the iconic workplace/bar sitcom Cheers will be hoisted, or not hoisted: that is the question!

Cheat Sheet:

Petard = bomb
Hoist a pilot = bad episode
Not hoist a pilot = good episode
