A guy left is coat in Cheers and Diane loves it, she goes through pockets and finds some tickets to a theatre show that makes her like the guy even more. When he calls about his coat, she arranges a date. but he turns out not very good looking. Diane feels very shallow about it but she wants to break up. Only he does it before her as he has another woman.
Not a bad episode. Although I didn't find that guy all that bad looking, just not hot. Maybe this just means that Diane is more shallow than one would think, but everyone acted like he is ugly. The final scene with Sam was pretty funny though!

In this episode we have only one main storyline : Diane finds a lost coat on Cheers and by the looks of it she imagines what the owner must be like and becomes infactuated with him, without even knowing him. I liked this episode, it was very consistent, the intro scene of Diane pretending to be a novelist was very amusing. This episode did something very rare in these shows, character development, we actually see Diane being what she herself calls "shallow" over the appearance of someone. I think there was a miss oportunity here with the excelent premise of the coat, I would much rather if almost all of the episode revolved around Diane analyzing what the owner must be or obssessing over finding him, the fact that he himself calls the bar and sets up the date with Diane didn't let this happen. Sam is absolutely hilarious in this episode, specially when he calls Diane Blanche after she says "it made me blanched" and in the end when he is so happy that Diane will admit that she only went out with him because he was good looking, that he doesn't understand and neither does the rest of the gang that he is admitting not having any other qualities, which nicely ties in with the intro scene about Diane trying to go along with the rest of the bar but never being in the same state of mind. Carla has a toy project of her children that provides some laughter but it was so random and short that the storyline was better cut all together Not extraordinary, but very competent. MVP : Sam Malone 7/10 Peter Shelby
Shallow Diane
dgplatt-601218 April 2024
A stranger leaves his coat in the bar. Ever the romantic, Diane conjures up an image of the owner from the lining of his jacket and the scent of his pipe tobacco. When they finally meet, he's not exactly what Diane hoped for.
Stuart is charming, cultured, and funny - he's also what could be delicately described as "not conventionally attractive." Diane goes along with the date, partly to prove to Sam and the rest of the bar that she cares about more than looks.
This is another stealth Sam and Diane episode, with Sam lording it over Diane that she's just as shallow as she is. The episode works because Stuart really does seem like a decent guy - smart, clever, and self effacing about his pretentiousness. He's not a stock geek character; in fact except for his looks he's Diane's perfect match.
This is a smart, funny episode that never leaves the bar - a formula that will work for most of the best episodes of this season. But really, at its core it's all about Sam and Diane.

Seems like the writers went out of their way to make the lady seem out of place in this show so that they can chuck her out and make a completely new theme with the bar and assorted set of characters.
Makes you realize that it's not the class that matters, but how well it gets utilized by the writers
Even frasier who's a psychiatrist ends up cleaning the bar by sweeping and ends up in the show, but the casanova's lover ends up getting humiliated and gets chucked out. This particular episode is an excuse for an episode
