hehe here is the official guide description:

23 Power Play First Aired: September 29, 1983
Writers: Glen Charles, Les Charles
Director: James Burrows
Guest Stars: Alan Koss, Paul Vaughn


The gang at Cheers doesn't hold much hope for Sam and Diane's newly blossomed romance after Sam returns to Cheers early on the night of their first date.


"You've made my life a living hell," Sam complains, brushing aside the stuffed toys that litter the scene of their intended carnal pleasure. "I didn't want you to think I was easy," Diane retorts, setting the comic tone for the bumpy romance that ensues throughout the second season. The show's loyal fans were delighted to see Sam and Diane in each other's arms at last, but the couple's petty insecurities and power plays nearly doom the affair before it's begun.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I can't wait to see it! I love this scene...you see Diane sort of relaxed she is watching tv. and eating a box of Cracker jacks in her jammies. Not something that happens often with our green-eyed intellectual

AND Powerplay is the beginning of the "adventures outside of the bar"

Season 1 NEVER left the bar.
"Give Me A Ring Sometime" NEVER even left the main stage

lol Ofcourse she is! I love that line!

Sam: It's in the bill of rights.
Diane: Where is it in the bill of rights?
Sam: The right to assemble in bare arms.
Diane: That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard (which it is)
Sam: Hey I thought you said you weren't going to call me stupid now that we're being intimate.
Diane: No, I said I wouldn't call you stupid WHILE we are being intimate.

I saw BEFORE i was a Cheers fan.
It was just on, a saw a couple of scenes, but I didnt really know who everybody was.

But after thinking about Diane,
I think my inner Dianism is taking over.
Would I be the first guy??

Got the quote right, the first time!

I am a Dianist...and a Sainist.....but as far as just the quality of characters go....I think Diane comes before Sam in my case...lol. But Sam is right there in like second.

Plus Sainism is that you like them as a couple.

I thought she was going to punch him when he said this line:

Sam: Get in there WOMAN.

I like Diane as a character early on.
But by the end of Season 5, Im kind of relieved that she lives.
Even though Ive grown a hatred towards Kirstie Alley, the character of Rebecca was VERY refreshing.

And it brought Sammy back.

Sam and Diane seperate, they're GREAT.
Sam and Diane together, they're good.

Dianism.... yes.
Samism.... maybe.
Sainism.... no.

When Diane leaves though, Sam becomes my favorite Character.
