For your vintage feel-good cry of the day — On Cheers, Coach tries to talk his daughter out of marrying a man who doesn’t love her.

I think Conover showed me this scene like a year ago, and even without the context of the rest of the episode it’s incredibly powerful. Sincerity is the hardest thing to pull off in comedy and a lot of shows don’t even try. Or they do try and it feels cheap and unearned. But when a comedy dares to just not be funny for a few minutes, and when they pull it off, it’s like nothing else.

Scenes like this one — this is what television is for.

Oh god, bawling. Cheers is the best.
