Cheers
Sam (Ted Danson), a former pitcher for the Boston Redsox, owns and runs Cheers, a cozy bar in Boston. Somewhat snobby, beautiful and intelligent Diane (Shelley Long) -- forced to become a waitress when her fiance jilts her -- constantly bickers with Sam. Eventually, they fall in love. Several wacky characters make the bar their home-away-from-home, including sarcastic waitress Carla (Rhea Perlman), beer-loving Norm (George Wendt) and Boston letter carrier Cliff (John Ratzenberger).
A few seasons later, Sam sells the bar to buy a boat and sail around the world. But his boat sinks and he returns to bartending. Rebecca (Kirstie Alley), the new (more ambitious) manager, hires him back. They love to hate each other and eventually get together as well.
Sam and Diane's new relationship together gets off to a shaky start, which comes as no surprise to anyone at the bar.
Cliff falls head over heels for Carla's innocent-looking younger sister, who is sitting in for Carla while she has her baby. But what Cliff doesn't know is that she isn't as innocent as she looks.
Diane decides to find a new job because Carla now thinks Sam is playing favorites for his new girlfriend. But finding a job is harder than it seems.
Against Sam's better judgment, Diane tries to help her former homicidal blind date Andy become an actor.
Diane doesn't tell Sam that she is going out to dinner with her ex-fiancé Sumner and his wife, because she thinks he will embarrass her if he comes along.
Sam and Diane try to stop Carla from sleeping with her new boyfriend after they learn that he has a heart condition.
Sam's old broadcaster buddy, Dave, predicts that Sam and Diane will be broken up in the next 24 hours. Then, he sets out to make sure that it happens.
Coach becomes a youth league baseball coach. But his competitive nature turns him from lovable guy to angry tyrant. Cliff gets a raise and treats Norm to dinner. Carla brings her newborn to Cheers for breastfeeding.
Dick Cavett encourages Sam to write a book about his playing days, and Diane helps him do it. Meanwhile, Norm's old rival for Vera wants to make a move on her now that she and Norm are separated.
After Sam throws out a careless "I love you," he and Diane decide to take some time off to evaluate their relationship.
Sam thinks Diane's oldest and best friend is hitting on him. Diane knows better, but becomes paranoid after Carla eggs her on.
A dying man wants to leave $100,000 in his will to the gang at Cheers. But everybody fights over how much money each person will get.
Sam agrees to be Carla's date for her ex-husband Nick's wedding. And Sam's appearance makes Nick jealous, and causes him to ask Carla to take him back.
Sam hires a still-unemployed Norm to be his accountant, but the tax return he prepares for the bar could ultimately destroy their friendship.
Sam and Diane are tired of Coach being a third wheel and interrupting their alone time, so they set him up on a date.
A man in the bar becomes sick of Cliff's obnoxious know-it-all behavior and challenges him to a fight. Will Cliff shut up, accept the challenge, or run away?
Carla has everyone convinced that the bar's new fortune-telling machine can predict the future. But does that include Diane's fortune that seems to indicate that her relationship with Sam could be in trouble?
Sam says he's going to Vermont for a funeral, but Diane knows he's really going on a ski weekend with his buddies. And Cliff gets jealous of Norm's new friendship with another guy.
Coach accidentally finds out that his recently-deceased friend once made a pass at his wife.
Norm considers cheating on Vera with a beautiful new client who might be interested in him.
A jealous Diane agrees to have her portrait painted by an arrogant, eccentric artist, even though Sam can't stand the guy and forbids her to do it.
Diane follows through with getting her portrait painted behind Sam's back. But the artist predicts that if she shows it to Sam, she will never see him again.
