• The second season finale, "I'll Be Seeing You", especially the last ten minutes of part two, which, in This Troper's opinion, is one of the most powerful scenes in the history of television.
• Sam buying back Cheers in "Cry Harder".

Sam: Right. I, uh, OK I got eighty-five cents here. Jim Montgomery: ...I'll take it. Sam: Hey guys! I low-balled him!

• In "Coach's Daughter," when Lisa (Coach's... y'know) tells off her fiance, a Jerkass who was only marrying her so she (his boss) would give him a new sales territory.

Lisa: Roy, I don't want to marry you. I decided I want a man as good as my father. Roy: Wait, hold on here. What about Pennsylvania? Lisa: Roy, you don't get Pennsylvania, and you don't get me. You just get more and more obnoxious.

• Diane Chambers, of all people, saves the day bowling against Gary's Olde Towne Tavern.
• Rebecca in her first appearance laid down the law for Sam when giving him a second chance.

Rebecca: Again, in baseball-ese - it's the bottom of the ninth, two out, two strikes... and you've got no balls.

• The Cheers gang finally winning the feud with Gary in Bar Wars VII during the final season.
  • And the triumphant return of Harry the Hat, still on the top of his game after a ten-year absence. Cheers wins the feud because Harry tricks Gary into having his bar demolished.
• Sam, in the first season episode The Boys in the Bar, when the regulars are trying to pressure him into ejecting two suspected homosexuals by threatening to find another bar.

Sam: Hey, listen, those guys are staying. Anyone else wants to leave, that's fine. Norm: Okay, Sam, you know what kind of bar this could turn into? Sam: It's not going to turn into the kind of bar that I have to throw people out of.

• • Diane's reaction: "That's the noblest preposition you've ever dangled."
    • The conclusion is also a CMOA, in which Diane reveals that the two men the gang hustled out of Cheers were not gay, and that the two gay men she said were in the bar were still there, and had a ball watching the gang behave like morons the entire time. She says as she walks away, "Isn't that right, guys?", and two of the regulars kiss Norm on the cheek.

Norm: (pointing at the regular on his right) Better than Vera.

• Coach, of all people, helping Harry with a Kansas City Shuffle to win all of Coach's poker winnings back from another con man. This made Harry the Hat a likeable Ensemble Darkhorse, instead of the seedy con man he could have been.
