Throughout the 11 year run of Cheers many story arcs were used to either make the characters grow.... or just get some new ideas.

What story-arc was your favorite??

If it weren't for Frasier and Lilith seperating in Season 11, I dont think I wouldve liked either of them as much. So -- I guess thats my favorite story-arc.

Least favorite -- which Im sure will get a unanimous vote -- Sam and Rebecca trying to have a baby. *shiver*

My least favorite is the same as yours.

...I'm undecided about my favorite one....

Apart from the ones you mentioned and the obvious Sam and Diane one, what would the other options be?

Rebecca and Robin
Rebecca and Evan Drake
Frasier and Diane in Europe
Woody and Kelly (and Henri)
the bar burning down


I didnt include the Bar Wars, because they were spread over the entire series basically

My least favorite was Robin and Rebecca.

My favorite is Sam dating the congresswoman and that leading to his proposal to Diane.

I liked Frasier with Diane in Europe (if only for that scene in the ski lodge).
But out of all of those, I think Frasier and Lilith was the funniest story-arc.

Woody and Kelly's marriage, that had some great episodes, like when Kelly's dad thought Woody was blackmailing him.


The best has to be Sam and Diane, but that lasted a long time.

Well, there definitely were a lot of great ones. But I have to admit that I was, like they wanted, suckered into Cheers because of Sam and Diane. So I suppose that's my favorite, if that counts as a story arc itself.

The "Strange Bedfellows" arc is just plain brilliant, though. It's so funny, yet so frustrating, I love it.

Other Story Arcs:
Frasier and Lilith preparing for childbirth
Woody becoming a congressman
Cliff and Maggie
