Cheers: Season 02
Running Time: 30 min.
Release By: NBC

Just as everyone had anticipated throughout season one of Cheers, season two opened with Boston bar owner Sam Malone (Ted Danson) and waitress Diane Chambers (Shelley Long) declaring their mutual passion. But romance does not always translate into love, and, after a turbulent 22 episodes, Sam and Diane had broken up over a silly triviality -- or had they? In other developments, Cheers' other waitress, acerbic single mother Carla (Rhea Perlman), again gave birth (her fifth child), and had to endure the wedding of her slime ball ex-husband Nick Tortelli (Dan Hedaya) to the equally odious Loretta (Jean Kasem). And one of Cheers' best customers, trivia-happy postman Cliff Clavin (John Ratzenberger), heretofore only a recurring character, was now billed among the series' regular stars. While the show had still not cracked the Top 25 in the ratings, it was far more popular than its ABC competition (the now-forgotten It's Not Easy) and gradually catching up to its Thursday-night CBS rival Simon and Simon. Once again, the series took home a shelf-full of Emmy awards -- for Outstanding Comedy Series (second year in a row), Outstanding Supporting Actress (Perlman), Outstanding Film Editing (Andrew Chulack), and Outstanding Writing (David Angell, who like Chulack, won for the episode entitled "Old Flames") -- in addition to eight other nominations.
