Last night while watching the opening show for Cheers, I was amazed
to find that NBC censored the dialogue in two spots.  Both were
done in the scene with Coach, Diane, and Sam talking in the bar.
Was this just my local Chicago NBC affiliate (WMAQ) or did everyone
in the US get the shaft?  I really would like to know what was
said but thanks to NBC I'll probably never find out.  They ought
to censor the entire A team along with St. Nowhere if it were up
to me.
