Woke killed comedy for more than a decade. It’s coming back now, but it’s been a long dry spell. So, I’ve turned to Cheers for a bit of light viewing, and it is much better than I remember. Or I am in a better position to appreciate the skill and nuance of Sam, Diane, and all the regulars.
In Season 1, Episode 18, we see Diane gradually being brought out of her lofty principles. At first, the decisions are calculated. By the end of the episode, she relents in sheer pleasure.
And to top it off, national icon, Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill, starts off the show.
