* MeetTheInLaws: Mama [=LeBec=] doesn't like Carla. In fact, she initially assumes Rebecca is Carla, and when Eddie shows her the actual Carla, still prefers Rebecca.

I was wrong, the uniform thing was actually dealt with for good in the next episode


* SeriesContinuityError: One episode after Sam, Carla, and Woody destroyed their uniforms in "'I' on Sports" and went back to wearing regular clothes, they are again wearing the ugly green uniforms. This, combined with the fact that Carla says it's been "a week" since two episodes ago when she told Eddie about the baby, suggests that the episodes were aired out of order.

Title: Little Carla, Happy at Last: Part 1\\
Directed by: James Burrows\\
Written by: Cherie Eichen & Bill Steinkellner\\
Air Date: October 15, 1987\\
Previous: "I" on Sports\\
Next: Little Carla, Happy at Last: Part 2\\
Guest Starring: Jay Thomas]

"Little Carla, Happy at Last: Part 1" is the 3rd episode of the sixth season of ''Series/{{Cheers}}''.

It's been a week since Carla told Eddie that he's the father of her baby, back in season premiere "[[Recap/CheersS6E1 Home Is the Sailor]]". She is in the middle of grumbling about Eddie's failure to take responsibility and do the right thing, when Eddie comes to the bar and asks Carla to marry him.

Carla is overjoyed. Come the day of the wedding, she shows up at the bar to collect her last paycheck from Rebecca--and Eddie also shows up at the bar. Most people would not care, but to the extremely superstitious Eddie and Carla, the bride seeing the groom on the day of the wedding is SeriousBusiness. They are calling off the wedding when Sam intervenes and talks them back to their senses. However, a series of unlucky events then start to occur.

In the B-plot, Rebecca's crush on her boss Evan Drake is mentioned again, as Sam suggests she invite him to the wedding reception, and Rebecca gets nervous about impressing him.
