And that’s the final call for Cheers trivia. How did you do? Let me know on Social Media or Spotify. There’s a weekly poll on Spotify as well. Let me know what your favorite episode of Cheers was.
I’ll be back with another thirty trivia questions next week. Here’s a clue for what to expect:

This was definitely not a family-friendly TV series. Don’t worry, the episode will still be clean. See you back here on Wednesday.
