Cheers

The back-and-forth banter between Sam (Ted Danson) and Diane (Shelley Long) on the first season of Cheers was one of the show’s main comical plot points. Despite it, fans could sense an underlying current of chemistry that made them hope for a romance of some sort between the two.

However, that relationship took a turn at a very unexpected time. At the end of season one, Sam and Diane are involved in a heated argument that doesn’t show any real resolution. The sudden and unexpected embrace and passionate kiss made for a very exciting and gratifying moment for fans.
