Season 2 opens with Sam and Diane's new relationship together getting off to a shaky start, which comes as no surprise to anyone at the bar; Cliff falling head over heels for Carla's innocent-looking younger sister, who is sitting in for Carla while she has her baby.
I'm excited to see where that confidence, bolstered by a few pieces of Academy hardware (the Emmys also honored Long, James Burrows, and the Charles Brothers that year) and increased ratings, will take the series.
The writing is brilliant here with Sam and Diane sparring like sworn enemies, while maintaining the palpable chemistry that made us fall in love with them in the first place.
