babarizam D I hate Diane. She is insufferable Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/11/25 Full Review Mike S Hey, we're just getting started. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/06/24 Full Review Mike P This is one of the all time greats! It's a Tracy/Hepburn reboot essentially; a hilarious odd coupling of motormouths which anchor the show; she, a pretentious and wildly eccentric academian; and he, a crude, stupid womanizing jock. Let the games begin! Long and Danson have terrific chemistry and the show sizzles when the two of them are at battle. And the supporting cast/ Greek chorus of bar patrons who hilariously rift off the Sam and Diane pyrotechnics are superb. Those first five years are truly classic; it's hard to find another show that was so finely crafted; and worked so perfectly; it hummed like a Swiss watch. After Shelley left the show lost something. Kirstie wasn't bad but since the show was really crafted to feature the Sam/Diane relationship in a Tracy/Hepburn face off week after week; once Shelley left there was something essential missing. Some fun facts about the show: Shelley Long was a pitchwoman for famous furniture outlet John M Smyth Homemakers for several years in Chicago, where she starred in a series of television commercials for them. (And she sported both blonde and black hair for these commercials, which can be seen on YouTube!) This was all before she starred in Cheers! Her cache phrase? "Remember, it's not low price furniture. It's good furniture, at lower prices!" Shelley and George Wendt were also Second City Allums during this period, in the late 70s early 80s; both at the same time before they came to Cheers. Shelley and George were also on Mash together during this period. And Rhea Pearlman, Ted Danson, George Wendt, Carol Kane and Christopher Lloyd were all on Taxi and Cheers during this whole period as well. Another fun tidbit, although the show would have you believe Woody was from Hanover Indiana, he was actually from Texas, and Shelley was the one that was actually from Indiana! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I've thoroughly enjoyed two sitcoms in my entire life, both before my "time" and this is one of them.
