An artist friend reminded me that Kirstie Alley (still bummed out about her political affiliations) was the inspiration for Rebecca Cunningham in Disney's Talespin.

Cheers episode, “An Old-Fashioned Wedding” (1992)

Woody’s Uncle Elroy has a problem.

when I was like 12 and obsessed with Cheers the tv show, I absolutely hated the finale of Diane coming back and sam and Diane both pretending to have moved on by being married and having lots of kids. I liked the concept, I just think it could have been done so much better. So hear me out:

Everything is the same. Sam talks to Diane on the phone, lies and says he’s moved on. Married with a bunch of kids. So Diane does the same. (Like I think it happened in the original?)

Then Diane arrives, she’s with her gay dog groomer(?), whatever. And Sam has Rebecca pretend to be his wife. All that’s the same. But Diane brings along a little boy about six, says it’s her and her husband’s son. Everything mostly happens like it did in the original, except now there’s a little boy.

Rebecca gets with the plumber dude (?) and we discover Diane’s “husband” is gay. They laugh about going such lengths to make the other jealous.

Finally Sam asks, he has to know, “where’d you get the kid from? Snatch him from toys r us or something?” And that’s when Diane gets quiet. That’s when she gets serious. “He’s mine, actually. Big baseball fanatic. Flirtatious with the girls on the playground…” And Sam slowly realizes, but she helps by pushing further: “a lot like his father.” Sam is too stunned to speak, diane thinks he’s not getting it: “he’s your son, sam”

“to be continued” and ending credits

Part 2, again, is the same as it was originally. They’re back together, getting married, and he decides he’s leaving with her. Everybody at the bar hates it, like in the original, but it’s different. Now there’s a kid involved. Now there’s actual stakes, actual responsibility

Like how it originally ended, they ultimately decide they shouldn’t get back together and Sam returns to the bar. Except he doesn’t return right away, he leaves with them to California (?) to spend time with the kid and has everybody at the bar think he’s gone for good until he pops up like a few weeks later like, “yeah, it didn’t work out”

He mentions about visiting the kid every few months, and having him during summers. Everybody forgives him for making them think he abandoned them, and they drink to sam’s newfound fatherhood

Carla, of course, fusses over having diane back in her life. “She’s not back in our lives, Carla. You heard sam, she’s staying in California,” Norm assures. “Yeah, with her kid. Sam’s son, the future of this bar.” Everyone, including sam, lets out a very unenthused “oh”

Anyway, the show ends. And then maybe I would have Sam’s appearance in Frasier later on deal with something about his son, instead of the fleeing from marriage storyline

That’s it, that’s what I would change. Or, that’s what 12 year old me would change ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

“I was on a plane today and did something I rarely do. I watched an old episode of Cheers. It was the episode where Tom Berenger proposes to Kirstie, who keeps saying no, even though she desperately wants to say yes. Kirstie was truly brilliant in it. Her ability to play a woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown was both moving and hysterically funny. She made me laugh 30 years ago when she shot that scene, and she made me laugh today just as hard. As I got off the plane, I heard that Kirstie had died. I am so sad and so grateful for all the times she made me laugh. I send my love to her children. As they well know, their mother had a heart of gold. I will miss her.”  - Ted Danson

Rebecca Howe > Diane Chambers

A plot bunny showed up last night:

Carla put a curse on Rebecca when she and Sam were trying to make a baby because she thought the two of them would make terrible parents.

When someone asked her about curses years later, she mentioned that specific curse and they asked if the curse was just for making a baby with Sam or for ALL men. She couldn't remember and promptly undid the curse. Was Rebecca still in her childbearing years at the time of undoing the curse? Idk.

If you think you can make a story out of this, please go right ahead. I like sharing my weird little plot bunnies to inspire someone. If you've already heard this one, please show me where

fionna and cake drawings before and after watching the episodes so far. it’s nostalgic and somehow cathartic and poignant and relatable and—it just started

She swallowed past a lump in her throat, looked up into her son’s eyes. "Paul…I want you to do something for me: choose the course of happiness. Your desert woman, marry her if that’s your wish. Defy everyone and everything to do this. But choose your own course. I…."
