@@danceswithcomicbooks7733 Boy do I disagree. With all due respect to Kirstie Alley and her Rebecca, nothing on TV will ever match the Sam-Diane relationship. Ted Danson and Shelley Long were a superb team. After she and Nicholas Colasanto were no longer around, the bar felt empty. Only Bebe Neuwirth and Kelsey Grammer as the incomparable Lilith and Frasier made the show watchable for me in the later years.

[@82pythons85]

It IS THE GREATEST. Taxi was a precursor to Cheers, but FRIENDS, Simpsons, and Fraiser were a result of the love America had for Cheers.

[@j_m_b_1914]

I remember watching the last episode and crying. Felt like I lost family that day. The entire series is symbolic of life. Everything has a beginning and an end and we don't know how far the end is from the beginning so we should treasure every day inbetween as much as possible because they'll never come again. Today I am in my mid 40's and yesterday I was a teenager. I literally aged 30 years in the blink of an eye. Man time is beautiful yet brutal. The crazy thing is that although Cheers was our childhood, other shows were the next generation's childhood. Shows like Friends and Seinfeld -- and even those are now gone. Time is nuts. There was a moment in my life where I could turn on the TV and see new Cheers episodes while watching reruns of Threes Company, Taxi and then flip on Roseanne later in the night. The mid-to-late 80's was such a unique period in US culture. Even the 90s were amazing. And now they're all decades behind us. We're all so lucky (or maybe cursed) -- humanity has been around for hundreds of thousands of years and only in the past hundred have we had TV, radio, internet, computers. We really live in a golden age. Cheers to the memories already made and L'chaim to even better ones yet to happen. I need a tissue.

Just loved the dynamics between Shelley and Ted, what a wonderful show, so many laughs

[@pepsiguy52883]

Cheers was just amazing. It turned out to spin off one the best shows ever as well in Fraiser

[@patkawasaki771]

As much as we loved the characters, the writers deserve huge credit.

[@mikearchibald744]

Initially I think everybody agreed that the chemistry between Ted Danson and Shelley Long is what made the show. And I think the writers and producers all said that was apparant from the auditions. The unfortunate thing about Cheers is that it really created the new 'extremely stupid' character that has always been mined for cheap laughs. The seventies had started to get away from that, except for the Marshal shows, those characters were becoming drug addled (WKRP) or punch drunk (Taxi). But that was James Brooks influence. And of course the "I hate you so will eventually love you" plot line has become pretty much the staple of all romance (although it was hardly new). As I've heard GOOD writers say, after a very short time with good actors, the writers chase the actors. Even when the writing was sloppy, which is bound to occur on a show on for ten years making 24 shows a year, good acting can always save it. With good acting a show (sadly for society) can almost become like a surrogate family for a lot of people. So people don't even NOTICE bad writing. However, nobody on the show ever got abducted by aliens or lost their memory or, wait, it was in a bar, was this a show about nothing? Although there seemed to be something about the thursday night time slot, a really good show that lasts pretty much needs all those things. But then of course there are many shows that lasted simply because networks couldn't find anything else to put on. Are there even any comedy shows ON network TV anymore? I'm not sure the half hour comedy even EXISTS anymore.

[@lolam.9291]

It’s the presentation that provides magic to any script.

[@mikearchibald744]

@@lolam.9291 I wouldn't go that far. All the people on Seinfeld pretty much said as soon as they read the pilot it was 'magic'. I've heard lots of actors talking different scripts they read that were that way.

[@lolam.9291]

@@mikearchibald744 - - I guess it’s a matter of opinion… Although, I would say, if it weren’t for the actors chosen on the Seinfeld sitcom, would it be as successful as it was/is?

[@mikearchibald744]

@@lolam.9291 I think my point would be given the trash in holiday and the rare number that really hold popular appeal, you kind of need both. I think if TODAY those actors looked at the Seinfeld script they woldn't say that, I didn't even LIKE the first seasons much. I liked the first seasons of Cheers much better than later seasons, so you really needed both. And you also need a fair bit of luck, long ago I watched that girl from friends do an academy of television interview and she said that James Brooks wanted her to sit under the table to be 'kooky'. She thought she'd be fired, but how do you say no to, no, sorry, the other guy, that guy who is just famous as a director. Anyway, someting like friends they pretty much said "we've got six good looking adults doing nothing but talk about sex...how could this fail.....and why wasn't it done already?" BUt something like Seinfeld was a slow grow, for the most part they were the ANTI Friends. But Cheers was the precursor of all of that,in some parts bad because the whole 'will they or won't they' pretty much became ALL friends was about. At least Cheers had other characters.
