Cheers question
I watched a Cheers bio on the Biography channel earlier. They talked about the death of Coach and then hiring Woody Harrelson. I could've sworn that I've seen them both in the same episode before, but it's been a while since I've watched Cheers. Am I imagining this or did they have a few episodes together?

Yep. Wally OPD's got it right.

Woodrow Tiberius Boyd (Woody to his family and friends) is a big-hearted innocent making his way in a world filled with hard-hearted cynics. A man of humble means, Woody was born and raised in Hanover, Indiana, a conservative farm town known for its love of beer. He comes from a large farming family, comprised mostly of his numerous uncles. He learned a lot about beer growing up in Hanover, and after high school Woody pursued his dream of becoming a bartender in the big city by shot gunning his resume to various big city bars. One made its way into the hands of Cheers’ bartender, Ernie "Coach" Pantusso, and after a time, the duo struck up a correspondence.
The gang first meets Woody when he arrives at Cheers on a trip to meet his long distance mentor. Sadly, his visit coincides with Coach’s untimely death. Sam, seeing how eager he is, decides to give the kid a break, and offers him Coach’s job. Although he’s not the sharpest knife in the drawer -- and much like his mentor, can’t always keep up with the boisterous barroom banter -- his anecdotes of life in Hanover and chipper attitude make for easy admission into the Cheers family. When he’s not working at the bar, Woody is busy participating in community theater productions and working as an extra on a few productions being shot in Boston, like Spenser: For Hire. His first big “break” comes when he lands the part of "Veggie-Boy" in a vegetable juice commercial.
