Maybe I've said something about this before, but I don't remember.
During the season 6 opener of Cheers, it was mentioned Diane moved to Hollywood. Right? Okay. During the season 10 episode, Get Your Kicks on Route 666, this conversation happened:
Sam: You know, you know if we uh drive to California, we could go see Disneyland.
Frasier: Oooooh.
Lilith: Perhaps you could find your manhood on the giant teacups.
Hollywood is pretty close to Disneyland.
Then later on in the episode, Sam electrocuted himself trying to hot wire Cliff's car after he crashed it and locked the keys in and the first word out of his mouth was, "Diane?"
Even after that outburst, Frasier, Norm, and Cliff still think Disneyland and not Diane. Of course, the episode ends with Norm finding a hotel and they go to eat the buffet before it ends for the morning.
Sam was just beginning to try and have a kid with Rebecca at this point. Somehow I feel as if he wanted to find Diane on this road trip and she would convince him not to have a kid with Rebecca.
I wish there were fic that dealt with this.
I know I read way too much into that and Sam probably really just wanted to go to Disneyland. Anyone else have an opinion on this?
Wait a minute! There were rumors that Shelley was supposedly going to do a guest stint, but she had a miscarriage so they nixed it... of course I read that somewhere a long time ago (most likely in a gossip magazine) and I think it was more in season 8 or something that they wanted to do it. Never mind.
