Perfect Duluth Day

Cheers: “They don’t like the food at the airport in Duluth”

It’s been mentioned a few times in “Duluth reference” posts on PDD, but the clip has never been featured. So here it is, the cold open from season 2, episode 20 of Cheers.

Titled “If Ever I Would Leave You,” this episode aired Feb. 28, 1985.

Every episode of Cheers, by the way, has a northeast Minnesota reference. A Great Depression-era photo shot in Craigville, Minn., about 100 miles northwest of Duluth, appears in the opening theme.

The photo was shot by Russell Lee for the Works Progress Administration.
