Ep 17. Diane's Perfect Date

Diane's Perfect Date starts with Diane anxiously planning her date with an Ivy League professor, Dr. Simon Finch-Royce. She is hoping to impress him with her wit and intelligence so that he will take her on a trip to Europe. However, things don't go quite as planned when Sam reveals that the two of them have met before and had a not-so-pleasant encounter.

Meanwhile, Carla is dealing with her own dating problems, as she struggles to choose between two men - one of whom she is seeing secretly behind her boyfriend's back. Woody and Coach offer their own advice on the matter, but it seems that Carla is determined to make her own decisions.

As the night progresses, tensions between Diane and Sam rise as they continue to exchange barbs and insults, with Dr. Finch-Royce caught in the middle. But when the professor reveals a surprising side to his own personality, it forces everyone to re-evaluate their preconceptions about each other.

Ultimately, Diane's Perfect Date is a funny and insightful portrayal of the complexities of relationships, both romantic and platonic. With its witty dialogue and memorable characters, it's easy to see why Cheers became a beloved sitcom and cultural touchstone.
