Apparently there was a time when Cliff and Norm used to do things to get others in trouble. In this episode, they start something between Carla and Rebecca. Not a big deal, but when Frasier comes into the bar with a group of psychologists, he tries to pay with his gold card. But Norm calls the credit card company and reports it stolen (this is a stretch, certainly). Anyway, Sam is forced to cut the card up and send the pieces to the company. Did anyone bother to think that Frasier is innocent here and should get his card replaced? It leads to some really hard feeling and the boys are contrite but cowardly. A subplot is Woody's obsession with the Home Shopping Network. He is maxing out his card and giving Rebecca lousy presents. It is true addiction. I just had trouble with the cruelty of the joke.
