''Cheers'' was a hugely popular [[Sitcom]], which aired on NBC for eleven seasons (1982-1993), about the goings-on at a [[Local Hangout|friendly neighborhood bar]] in [[Boston (useful notes)|Boston]]. When it began, it was notable for the fact that the entire show took place in the bar, never venturing outside, but this was dropped after a while. The Sam-Diane relationship was the most over-elaborate relationship in television history, until [[Friends|Ross and Rachel]] came into the picture.
Line 379 ⟶ 380:
* [[Tropaholics Anonymous]]: In the next-to-last episode of the series, "The Guy Can't Help It", Sam decides that he is a sex addict and joins a support group. This was a jarring plot twist, given that Sam was able to stay faithful to Diane when they were dating, and his [[The Casanova|Casanova]] ways had been generally [[Played for Laughs]] during the show's run.
* [[Training Montage]]: "Pitch It Again, Sam".
* [[Tropacabana]]: The series spends 95%+ of its time in the eponymous bar.
* [[True Love Is Boring]]: Sam and Diane can't ever work out their issues.
* [[Twitchy Eye]]: Diane's facial tic. It becomes a [[Mythology Gag]] in ''[[Frasier]]''.
