The return of Andy Andy and Sam writes his memoirs, May 25, 2001
This review is from: Cheers, Vol. 4 - The Homicidal Ham / They Call Me Mayday [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This fourth volume in the Cheers collection presents a couple of choice episodes from the show's second season. In "Homicidal Ham" Andy Schroeder (Derek McGrath) the ex-convict who was "Diane's Perfect Date" in the first season when he was known as Andy Andy, returns to rob the bar so he can go back to prison. Diane tries to help Andy launch his acting career and arranges a tryout for a drama professor (Severn Darden). Andy falls in love with Diane, not knowing that she and Sam are an item. When he learns the truth, performing the murder scene from Othello looks like a big mistake. "Homicidal Ham" (Original Airdate: 10/27/83) was written by David Lloyd, directed by James Burrows, and is episode #26 for those keeping count.
"They Call Me Mayday" (Original Airdate: 12/01/83) has Sam writing his autobiography after Dick Cavett walks into Cheers and suggests the idea. Everyone is happy with the idea except, of course, Diane, who is understandable jealous, but who ends up helping him, uh, punch up the sex scenes. Meanwhile, Norm has had to spend the night at Cheers because Vera has kicked him out. The big guy is upset that his old high school buddy Wally Bodell (Walter Olkewicz) has been putting the moves on Vera and finally takes matters into his own hands (literally). "They Call Me Mayday" was written by David Angell, directed by James Burrows, and is episode #31 in the series.

I personally am an avid fan of cheers.I Think these Episodes were some of the best in the second season. The humor in "homocidal ham" sort of represented that of cheers.I give Volume four of cheers a 5, for it's overall humor, and quality.

Cheers is a good show, one of my favorite episodes is The Homicidal Ham, Derek McGrath who played Andy was great in that famous Othello murder scene with Shelley Long (Diane)! Very funny episode! Fans of Derek McGrath may be interested to know that he is in the TV show Doc.
