Cheers | Every Time Norm Peterson Enters the Bar

OK, which entrance is the best?! (comment below)

[@AnnieWarbux]

The one when he would arrive with the guys for FrogLegs, Green Tartar Sauce and Jack Daniels!😉 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸

I personally liked when Diane says ‘Norman?’ after everybody else!!

[@jmann6130]

It Always sounds like she’s about to ask him a question but gets interrupted!

[@christophercasey6775]

Or she sounds cordial, a bit too formal.

[@aualga]

I thought it was because she hated his guts.

[@28Pluto]

@@aualga What? Have you ever watched the show? Diane doesn't hate Norm at all. She says his full name because she's very formal, while the rest of the gang is casual.

[@aualga]

@@28Pluto No. I have not.

[@asterix811]

Should’ve included the one where Diane walks in and complains that she’d like a reaction like the one Norm gets when he enters. Sam has her go out and come in again and when she does, everyone yells “Norm!”

[@chinolockd6183]

Yeah I remember that one , that was so funny

[@cesardachimp8172]

Ha, me and my sister watched that one last night. Pretty funny

[@Regreviews]

[@blueiris574]

and she ends up saying "That's better", which was cherry on the cake.

[@danbag0815]

You're right 👍 that would be accurately

[@caseyw1286]

I love when Norm walks into the bar and after everyone yells “Norm”, you then hear Diane at the very end say “Norman.” That was always hilarious to me.

[@shuhratkessikbayev8886]

I remember watching Cheers for the first time with my dad. All seasons we would just scream "Norm!" every time he came in. It'll never get old.

[@crystal2847]

I remember the first time I saw my dad cry was the last episode 😂

[@darchangel2136]

Norm glued the show together. They played it like it was about Sam and the bar, but I think we all know it was secretly about Norm

[@thomasmartin4281]

He even is the last patron to talk to Sam in the finale, reminding him who is true love is

[@athleticchipnyc]

A very nice way to end the show. Or it could have been norm making Sam forget about Norms bar tab lol 😂

[@georgeemmons9288]

I love how Diane calls him Norman every time she's there and Woody always calls him Mr. Peterson! That's continuty.😁

[@athleticchipnyc]

Even more interesting that Woody called everybody, Mr. or Mrs., or Miss except for Sam & Carla… always called Diane, Miss Chambers, and Rebecca Miss Howe

[@daboys1215]

When Frederick yells "Norm", everybody is stunned and Lilith says, "He said, mommy!" LOL That was the best.

[@stevekay1925]

Never found that one funny. Norm and mommy don’t sound anything alike to the ears

Cheers is a treasure. Norm walking into the bar is one of the great moments in television. I laugh at all of them. A local TV station shows Cheer at 4am...so I'm now getting up real early. Incidentally, the Cheers Thanksgiving show is one of the 10 greatest moments in television. NORM!!!

We reeacted this scene during a production of Fiddler on the Roof. When Tevye arrived at the bar to meet with Lazar Wolf, he said “evening everyone”, and the whole place yelled ‘Tev’ and the bartender said Tevye. It was a little improv that got the whole crowd laughing.

The best is when Diane is upset that she doesn't get greeted the same way they greet Norm. They tell her to go back outside and come in again and they will greet her like they do Norm. She leaves, comes back in and the entire bar yells "NORM!"

Lordy, I loved that show. I didn't start watching until season 3 when I started college. Thursday nights. I was saddened when Coach died and was dubious about Woody stepping in. But, like with MASH, they didn't just get a replacement for a departed character. They got a whole new character who was his/her own person and grew into the ensemble so well. Watching this video really brings me back to a younger time. No rosy glasses. It was a stressful time in my life. But Thursday nights brought me to a group of friends I could visit, like a ghost, and forget about life for a while.
