Plot: "Cheers" is a bar in Boston owned by Sam Malone (Ted Danson), a former Boston Red Sox pitcher, whose drinking problem ended his career. Helping Sam in the bar is Ernie Pantusso (Nicholas Colasanto), whom he refers to as "Coach" and Carla (Rhea Perlman), a tough waitress. Amongst the regulars are Norm (George Wendt), an accountant who spends most of his time at "Cheers" to avoid his wife, Vera, and Cliff (John Ratzenberger), a mailman, whose conceitedness annoys everyone. Sam is also a womanizer, who thinks that there isn't a woman he can't have. Diane Chambers (Shelley Long), a grad student, who was going away with her boyfriend, stops by the bar, but he dumps her. Diane, with nowhere else to go, gets a job as a waitress. Sam is attracted to her and makes his move, but Diane is turned off by his smug attitude. Eventually they get together, but break up and Diane gets a new boyfriend, psychiatrist Dr. Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer). They were about to get married when Diane leaves him and goes to the bar. The actor who played Coach died, so a new character, Woody Boyd (Woody Harrelson) was added. Sam and Diane got engaged and were about to get married when Sam urged her to fulfill her dream to be a writer. Sam sold the bar to a corporation. When Sam needed a job, he tried to get a job from the new Manager, Rebecca Howe (Kirstie Alley), who Sam tried to make a move on, but resisted for awhile. Sam eventually bought the bar back and made Rebecca the manager.
