Cheers was one of those shows I was always aware of, but never go the chance to sit down and watch. I was delightfully surprised at how well written it was, and how strong all the performances were. Particularly in those early seasons when the whole Sam and Diane dynamic was in full swing. Chemistry that good on screen really does feel like lightning in a bottle, the rare treat you only get to see once in a long while. I hope I was able to represent it well in this video.

Sam Malone, a former relief pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, owns and runs Cheers, a cozy bar in Boston. Somewhat snobby, beautiful and intelligent Diane Chambers - forced to become a waitress when her fiancé 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, beer-loving accountant Norm and know-it-all letter carrier Cliff. A few seasons later, after Diane leaves Boston, Sam sells the bar to buy a boat and sail around the world. But his boat sinks and he returns to bartending. Rebecca Howe, the new (more ambitious) manager, hires him back. They love to hate each other and eventually get together as well.
