Thread: Cheers - where everybody knows your name

Has anyone seen this gem of a sitcom from the 1980s-90s? The show has great plots and great characters. Whenever everyone greets Norm, I do so too.

I need to see this, I've only watched the spin off, Frasier.

It's a classic show, though oddly enough I never really got into it as I did with Frasier. Frasier may have been the spin-off of Cheers, but it's the one I discovered and became enamored with first, so Cheers has always seemed like this strange little side novelty to me - not so much a sitcom in its own right as a platform for a lot of early bonus scenes with Frasier where he's out of his natural habitat (still married to Lilith - enough said).

Since Kelsey is my main interest in the show (and I love that man's voice so much that I would happily sit and watch paint dry if he provided a commentary), I've never felt too compelled to go back and check out the earlier seasons before he was introduced, though I'm sure if I did I'd find plenty of amusement, so maybe that's my loss.

I've yet to see it, but I do know it's a big deal because I live in Boston, and the bar where Cheers takes place is a pretty popular tourist destination.

I better remember to buy the DVD box set. I grew up with Cheers.
