Diane was cool and all but the Sam\Diane thing ran its course after five seasons. Besides once she left the ensemble cast was finally given proper attention and shine. Kirstie Alley saved the show tbh.

The moment that jumped out the most at me, however, was when Sam claimed his "first time" was in 6th grade with a crossing guard. In the show, the guys' reaction is that Sam is just bullshitting them (which would be in character), but I suspect that writers would think twice about that joke today, since there is more sensitivity around having men "brag" about underage sexual encounters with older women instead of considering it assault (and while I know crossing guards are sometimes only slightly older teens, I've never personally met one that was any younger than 65--they're the same people who run polling places in city elections); although if a 12 year old Sam actually lost his virginity to a woman old enough to be his grandmother that WOULD explain his later sexual compulsions and intimacy issues, so maybe you were all ahead of your time after all!
