Hey all,

In several episodes in season 5, Woody Harrelson is wearing a cast on his hand. It was written into the script, as Woody told Frazier how he broke his thumb (slipping on the ice. Anyone have any idea what happened that Harrelson was wearing a cast for those few episodes?

Woody Harrelson broke a bone in his arm when his car flipped in practice for last year's event--which explains one of the casts (the other was the result of a fist fight) he wore in last season's episodes of "Cheers."
