Kelly on Her Way

Woody and Kelly become secretly engaged in this forgettable episode, the point of which I still don't understand. Was the goal here to free Woody's character up from his relationship with Kelly so he could date other women? That's the only possible explanation for sending Kelly to Europe. In spite of the fact that Woody promises her he will date while she's away, he never does, which begs the question: What was the point?
This is Woody & Kelly's show, all the way... Harrelson and Jackie Swanson achieve a kind of zen stupidity, especially in the scene in which Kelly gets angry with Woody and tells him to take his ring back: "No, seriously, can anyone tell me what that means?!?"
Norm's designated driver sub-plot is cute, but not exactly hilarious. The rest of this episode is spent trying to get Sam involved in the proceedings so he can accompany Woody on his romantic adventure. Malone winds up eating cheddar cheese popcorn and watching Ghostbusters.
You can't blame him.

Kelly is being sent to Europe to study. It is mainly done to get her away from Woody. He wants to give her a promise ring but they have a fight. Sam gets him to climb up to her room and Woody proposes. Kelly agrees, but Woody feels bad putting her against her dad so they just become secretly engaged.
I can't say I liked this episode. Really not much too laugh about. Maybe it is just too much of Kelly and Woody for an episode. The "look how incredibly dumb I am" humor only goes well in small doses. I just found their conversation on dating other people funny. Norm's small story brings some laughs as well.

Go Kelly ! Don't let the door hit you on the rear !

I think that tv viewer's opinions,likes and dislikes regarding tv characters and their different personalities and styles are a largely subjective matter that varies greatly from person to person. On one hand,there are some characters and things on tv shows that never seem to get old but remain funny no matter how many times we see them,even though we may realize that they are kind of silly or even rather dumb.
On the other hand,there are other tv characters and tropes that start-out as being quite engaging and well-balanced but they eventually unravel or become hopelessly annoying to the point of distraction.
There are several good examples of these different character-types to be found on Cheers.
The Diane character was rather likeable and sweetly funny for quite awhile but she eventually becomes imposibly and insufferably obnoxious and annoying.
Frasier's wife Lilith is rather cold and annoying yet at the same time she is also quirky and amusing.
Woody is as dumb as a box of rocks and he can indeed be quite worrisome but he is also a sweet character. It is pretty difficult not to feel sympathetic towards the doofus that is Woody.
Which leads us next to Woody's spoiled girlfriend Kelly,who has lived a sheltered life in a wealthy family.
I'm afraid that she is another character in the same category as the later version of Diane.
The Kelly character is very obnoxious,inconsiderate,and she really grates on the viewer's nerves for several reasons.
Perhaps the icing on the cake is the childish pitch or tone of Kelly's voice,which is like hearing fingernails on a chalkboard ! This certainly doesn't add to her appeal.
This episode had me honestly wishing that they would just do-away with the Kelly character. It really was that bad of an episode,and she really is that gratingly obnoxious.
Woody deserves much-better,and so do we as viewers.
4/10 or less.
