There once was a girl around the age of 7 who didn’t want to go to bed. She came out of her room, down the hall and into the living room. She takes a seat in front of the T.V. and notices that the lady from
Troop Beverly Hills is being stopped from walking out of a restaurant by the guy from
Three Men and a Little Lady. The girl not fully understanding what’s going on asks her mom “Who are they?” her mother replies “Sam and Diane, she left him six years ago and now turns back up. They hated each other and then loved each other. You do not want to end up with a man like this.” The girl nods her head and watches intently as the two exchange barbs and end up leaving the restaurant together. Now being 7 she doesn’t really understand what they are going to do but she knows that she wants them to end up together. She spends the next 10 years of her life wondering what could have been till she turns 17 and finds reruns of
Cheers airing on Nick at Night. She becomes obsessed with Ted Danson and Shelly Long but keeps this to herself. It’s not till she’s 23, unemployed, slightly neurotic and an insomniac does she give into the temptation of shipping the characters of Sam Malone and Diane Chambers.
They are one of my favorite ships and I’m enjoying rediscovering their characters as well as the show Cheers. So I present a picspam of my personal Sam Malone and Diane Chambers moments from season 1 of Cheers.
