Living Hell

Recently, I often think that sitcoms are actually the closest to fairy tales. The main characters have a limited number of prominent and stable characters. They usually make small mistakes and tell small lies. Injuries will not make people feel pain, and death will not make people feel bad. Sadly, the story is full of coincidences and fatalism, and it turns out that it was you, all of which have been foreshadowed today, and friendship and love make people very fascinated.

It's especially suitable. When the wind is blowing or the rain is pouring outside the window, one person hides under the covers and watches, just open an episode, and familiar friends come back with familiar stories.

This is especially true of "Cheers" where the scene is almost all in the pub. After watching the fifth season (Diane left and doesn't plan to watch it any more), every time Norm enters the door and everyone shouts "Norm" to hear his opinion on drinking beer. What else is there to say, and I want to know what kind of vegetables Cliff found this time to bring everyone to see, this is much more interesting than listening to his long-winded Florida travels, caring whether Carla is pregnant again, the child Wouldn't it still be the ex-husband Nick's, and I would like to see Coach's gullible belief that someone has made a mistake. The liar Harry is a liar, but he is our own liar.

Of course, my most hopeless focus is the love affair between our Sam "Mayday" Malone and Diane Chambers.

Sam Malone: ​​Former Boston Red Sox backup pitcher, nicknamed Mayday, who ended his professional baseball career prematurely due to alcoholism and opened a tavern business , He can't move his legs in front of the mirror. He has a small black book that records the contact information of various beauties. He doesn't like to read. He barely graduated from high school after rebuilding. He has no table manners and likes to make jokes.

Diane Chambers: The eldest lady from a wealthy family. She has 10,000 degrees in college. She wants to be a poet, writer, and artist. She lost her job as a professor assistant because her fiance dumped her on the eve of her honeymoon. She, very nerdy, a little bit of Notre Dame disease, a moral gentleman, who cares about this, has unrealistic imaginations about love, because he suspected that Sam's proposal was not sincere, and refused several times.

These character traits, because of the continuous broadcast of the series, inevitably continue to strengthen, continue to go to extremes, and seriously magnify the unpleasantness of the two. In the comments, you can see that there are a lot of people who hate two people. They feel that the man is not worthy of the woman, or that the woman should be with someone else. They are all right.

But I adore both of them at the same time, and think the chemistry between them is the fundamental reason why this show is so good.

It's like everyone is saying that they don't have anything in common, but they can throw jokes at each other, care about the people in the pub together, beat their opponents together, and get through hard times together. When Sam was borrowed the lucky bottle cap and was about to drink again, it was Diane who stopped him in a hurry and even let him see the ugly state of his drinking. When Sam was abandoned by the reporter, it was Diane who pulled him and asked him to tell him what happened later. Story, Diane is dating a beautiful young boy because he can see the shadow of Sam from the past. And even though Sam said so many harsh and ruthless things, in the end I had to admit that he put more into this relationship, he loved Diane more, cherished Diane's love letters to himself, and read tome for her "War and Peace", proposed marriage three times, always tolerated and spoiled her, and agreed to all her reasonable and unreasonable requests.

So as everyone knows, no matter how many times they separate, how long they leave, as long as Diane comes back, Sam will definitely accept her, and the two will definitely be together.

After all, the lettering of SM+DC is still on Cheers' desktop.

After all, a wise man once summed up their relationship to Sam and Diane: You are a living hell, you love each other, and you hate each other, and you hate yourselves for loving each other.

And Sam pondered for a long time, and finally said to Diane: If this is hell, I'm not that unhappy~
