Three years or so before the debut of “Cheers,” Shelley Long guests as Nurse Nancy Mende

Three years or so before the debut of “Cheers,” Shelley Long guests as Nurse Nancy Mendenhall in “Bottle Fatigue.” When a newly teetotal Hawk tries to mansplain her out of drinking wine during their date, Mendenhall calls it off. A born bartender, although the role is disappointingly small.
“If I would have known that I was going to receive a temperance lecture,” she says, “I would have made a date with someone more fun. Like a cadaver.”
