Find out when Cheers is airing on TV tonight and this week at the American TV Listings Guide.
Cheers is scheduled to air at these times:
Diane's recently dumped friend is looking for uninhibited fun with a man who's "tall, dark, strong...unintellectual"---in a word, Sam.
Norm tries to make points with his boss by having the firm party at Cheers and arranging for Diane to be the "old man's" date, which doesn't go over well with Sam.
Sam's ex-teammate comes out in his autobiography, and Sam's regulars fear that the bar will become a gay hangout.
On a dare, Sam and Diane set each other up with the perfect date. While Diane shows up with her attractive friend, Sam arrives alone and must pay a bar customer---a real ladykiller---to be Diane's escort.
Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill drops by---but luckily is gone when Sam tells Diane she's entered in the Miss Boston Barmaid contest. However, the Speaker does get an earful from an out-of-work Norm, who rails about a "do-nothing" Congress, saying, "this bozo" (referring to O'Neill) could probably be a better congressman.
Sam decides it takes a thief to catch a thief and enlists Harry the Hat to recover money Coach lost to a cardsharp. The barkeep sets up a friendly little after-hours poker game and bankrolls Harry, who, it soon becomes apparent, may be in over his head.
Diane's wealthy mother shows up the day before her daughter's birthday with news that Diane must marry immediately or Mum becomes a pauper. After considering a list of prospective mates, Diane proposes a "strictly business" union with Sam.
In Part 1 of a two-parter, Sam's successful, intelligent and thoroughly charming brother Derek visits and soon spirits Diane off to Nantucket.
Conclusion of two parts. In the first-season finale, Diane decides to fly off to Paris with Sam's dashing brother, then hopes Sam will try to talk her out of it.
In the second-season opener, Sam and Diane's nascent romance meets with great scepticism from the gang, who seem to be prophetic when Diane throws Sam out of her apartment after only five minutes.
While Carla is on maternity leave, the seemingly innocent Annette fills in at the bar and shocks everyone with her unseemly dating habits.
Diane, frustrated with her job and angered by Carla's charge that she receives preferential treatment as the boss's girlfriend, quits Cheers for a more fulfilling career; and a liberated Norm is on the prowl after splitting up with Vera.
Diane's "perfect date", lady-killing ex-con Andy---he once murdered a waitress---returns to Cheers, and she helps him pursue an acting career. On the night of their big performance, the strangulation scene from "Othello", Diane develops real stage fright when she realises he's actually going to kill her.
