What Season 2 of Cheers
The season opens with the usual Cheers crew questioning the romance between Sam and Diane, an idea Diane herself seems to share. Carla goes on maternity leave, and her sister, supposedly shy and innocent, takes over behind the bar. Diane, annoyed because everyone assumes she couldn't work anywhere but Cheers, leaves for a better position. Then her former intellectual boyfriend reappears to win her back, and Sam tries to one-up him by reading Tolstoy. Coach, meanwhile, becomes the driver for a Little League team.
