- Notes
The first episode of the season reveals that Diane is called Sam; his application was denied because Diane thought he was getting up from Janet. After rejecting a number of other proposals during the season, Diane accepted Sam's proposal after a judge forced him to propose again. Diane's former fiancé, Sumner Sloane, told him that one of her colleagues was impressed with the manuscript and passed it on to the publisher. In their much-awaited marriage, just before saying "I'm willing" Sam and Diane received the news that the publisher would give Diane a big down payment to finish his book. They canceled the wedding, and Diane promised to return within six months after finishing the book. Not knowing it for the last time, Diane left Boston (and Cheers) behind.

Episode
Production
In January 1986, Shelley Long, who described waitress Diane Chambers, announced plans to leave the series after the end of her contract, shortly before the start of the sixth season. In December, he decided to abandon his role as Diane to concentrate on his film and family career, while Ted Danson signed for the following season (1987-1988) as Sam Malone. Instead of getting them married, the producers decided to separate Sam and Diane at the end of the season and end their romance permanently. With the departure of Long, the producers decided to find a replacement woman with a different appearance from Long. They will also turn Sam's character into a "more cheerful" and "more annoying" character, exploring her single life.
The final three were filmed for the end of the season, "I Do, Adieu", because maybe Long could decide to stay: 1) Sam and Diane got married; 2) Diane accepted an offer to finish the novel; 3) not disclosed by the manufacturer. The alternative suffix in which Sam and Diane married was aired on May 27, 1998 as part of Fox's 90-minute special produced by Paley Center entitled Behind the Laughs: The Untold Stories of Favorite Comedies TV: A Museum of Television and Special Radio .

He rated "Cheers: the Motion Picture" and "Dinner at Eight-ish" the all-time favorite episode of the series.
Nate Meyers from Digital Obsessed! rated this season's style "A-" and the substance "A", for an unforgettable moment like the end-of-season wedding. He praised Lilith's performance, finding him "poorly handled" because he appeared in just two episodes this season. He praised the humor as an old man, not topical (apart from references to President Ronald Reagan and the Soviet Union) and "rarely coerced".
