* LiteralMinded: Sam's radio interview doesn't get off to a great start when no-one at all phones up. Dave opens up to letting anyone ask about anything, so Woody phones (despite Sam being in the next room) to ask where he keeps the olives.
-->'''Woody:''' He said ask anything!
* OrderedApology: Sam only gets Diane's forgiveness by going back on Dave's show and reading out an apology which Diane has written apologizing to her and women everywhere.

Added DiffLines:
* SilentTreatment: Diane attempts to do this with Sam. It lasts about half a minute before she lays into him with a flowery speech about what he's done, prompting Sam to quip she hasn't quite got the gist of it.

Title: Love Thy Neighbor\\
Directed by: Creator/JamesBurrows\\
Written by: Creator/DavidAngell\\

"Love Thy Neighbor" is the eighth episode of the fourth season of ''Series/{{Cheers}}''.
Norm mentions that he and Vera went out dancing with a neighbor couple, the Henshaws. Norm being Norm, he sat and watched while Vera danced with Ron Henshaw. That raises some eyebrows at the bar but Norm is quietly confident in his relationship with his wife.
He gets less confident when Phyllis Henshaw (Miriam Flynn) finds him at the bar and tells him she thinks her husband Ron is having an affair with Vera. Norm calls home and hears Music/JohnnyMathis music on in the background--the Petersons don't have a Johnny Mathis record, but the Henshaws do. Suddenly much less confident, Phyllis and Norm hire Carla's cousin, one Santo Carbone (Creator/ErnieSabella), to find out if their spouses are having an affair.
In the B-plot, Diane gets cranky when Sam calls her a "love bunny" (and lumps her in with all his other love bunnies) on Dave Richards's radio show.
----
!!Tropes:
* TheBusCameBack: Fred Dryer makes the third of his four appearances as Sam's old buddy and current Boston sportscaster Dave Richards. This time he's only a voice on the radio.
* ContinuityNod: A nod to Diane's stay in a sanitarium between Seasons 2 and 3. Turns out that Carla hired Santo to track down Diane and he found her there. He's surprised that they let Diane out so soon. (A year and a half later!)
* EasilyForgiven: Given what a complete {{Jerkass}} Dave was to Sam and Diane back in Season Two's "[[Recap/CheersS2E7OldFlames Old Flames]]", it's curious that Sam is now on such friendly terms with Dave. It's even curiouser when he doesn't seem to understand why Diane doesn't like Dave, given how hard Dave worked to break Sam and Diane up.
* PrivateDetective: Santo Carbone, who's burnt out by the sordid nature of his job, which is mostly investigating adultery. He cheerfully returns to the bar to report that Vera and Ron are ''not'' having an affair, only to be disgusted when he catches Phyllis and Norm kissing.
* SeriousBusiness: Diane gets in a snit when Sam refers to her as a "love bunny" on a radio interview.
* TheVoice:
** This was the episode where Vera graduated from TheGhost to TheVoice, as an uncredited Bernadette Birkett (Creator/GeorgeWendt's wife) voices Vera.
** Then there's the one-shot character of Ron Henshaw, also on the phone recording with Vera. And Fred Dryer as Dave Richards, appearing only as a voice on the radio.
