Cheers Super Bowl Special, Jan 30 1983

[@kodiak138]

I can't believe I just watched something with Cheers, that I haven't seen at least 10 times before. This was great, I wish I remember seeing it live back then.

[@jacobbrock7192]

I use to watch cheers as a young kid with my grandpa I was born 12 days before this aired. I didn't start watching cheers till about 1990 good memories my grandpa like Sam mayday Malone

[@colleenbutler9107]

I so much loved seeing Peter again,you are such a wonderful memory and loved you so,many years ago. 1965 Saratoga Springs,N.Y.

[@helmsly2010]

Love stuff like this, thanks for uploading

[@ThunderPants13]

Diane actually picked the winner.

[@stev1963hit]

Never seen by Cheers nuts in the UK-what a little gem

[@JHollowayNetwork]

It was shown on the newly launched-Channel 4 in the UK.

[@jackmcdonnell8505]

Cliff: as the French would say it. Super Boowl sevunteen.

[@vassa1972]

Great stuff

[@jimklappenberger4464]

Hey Ken, I remember when you did the Baltimore Orioles Ballgames as a commentator. I believe prior to writing Cheers. Two things I still Love to this day!!! ...Thanks!!!

[@Teletran35]

I have never seen this before I never knew this existed till now

[@SpencerMedici]

It only aired once on that day and never again

[@rappel1]

Diane knows football. That Theismann person did okay.

[@independentfilmchannel1476]

Well, she always won the pools with her logic based on cities with foreign born conductors.

[@jedijones]

Never heard of this mini-sode. Too bad it didn't make it on the DVDs. Nice to see a lost scene for the first time 30 years later. Very cool until Pete Axthelm breaks the 4th wall and ruins the verisimilitude.

[@JoseTwitterFan]

This segment probably helped "Cheers" a lot over the long run when it rolled out to initially low ratings in its first season before it barely got renewed. Tartikoff-era NBC's Super Bowl tie-in gamble ultimately paid off in the end as reruns subequently drew in larger audiences.

[@independentfilmchannel1476]

I'm proud to say I watched every episode of Cheers during its first season and recommended it, with little success, to every misguided fool who would rather have watched Simon & Simon and Charles in Charge.

[@YELLOW42758]

THANK YOU!

[@christybradfield7812]

Elephant in the room! Cliff is wearing a postal worker shirt on a Sunday. As far as I know, mail is not delivered on Sundays!

[@moonpie21012]

I think its just a Cliff thing that he loves his uniform!😁

[@moonpie21012]

I think its just a Cliff thing that he loves his uniform!😁

[@independentfilmchannel1476]

but Cliff never took it off, it was basically his only source of pride that wasn't made up.

[@MURFMAN04]

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@toddbiesel4288]

Jimmy the Greek travel agency... 😂

[@rohunsaigal2576]

Diane was right, Miami's defense couldn't hold Washington, but it was the RB-Riggins, not Theisman the QB who picked them apart

[@normpeterson3602]

Evening,Everybody.

[@markbrown332]

Norm Peterson. Norm!

[@way222rare]

Norman

[@theallamericancowboy2879]

Gentlemen,start your taps!

[@cstoczyn]

Long Live The Super Bowl!!!!

[@swaugertim]

i so badly wanted miami to win that game. i'm over it now and must admit in retrospect that was a fun superbowl to watch. at least the first half was fun.

[@bossbob]

I've read that post in script form a number of times, but it's quite another thing to see it actually produced.

[@sce2aux464]

How many times was Theismann intercepted in that game? Riggins and a poor Miami run defense was what won the game for the Redskins.

[@Tubewings]

Theismann had 2 interceptions in this game, 3 less than the game that happened on his birthday.

[@duanejessup3708]

Miami lost by the way

[@toptenguy1]

Diane > Pete. lol

[@TheScaletIbisNW]

this was aired before I was born.... crazy....

[@daveallman3981]

RIGGINS GO #44!!!

[@stevensmith686]

Not seen this one

[@johnhickman106]

The Killer Bees really were no match for the Riggins and the Redskins.

[@GialloHorror]

What a great game Super Bowl XVII was. Riggins running through Don McNeil to give The Skins the victory.

[@johnhickman106]

To this day, my favorite SB.

[@lnl3237]

Diane was right!

[@daboys1215]

Miami didn't win. The Redskins did. 27-17.

[@stevenmaza1372]

Cliff wears his uniform on a Sunday. What a ZERO!!!!

[@okigi-wo5zm]

He had pride.

[@Lone_Star_Proud]

Video quality is very poor.

[@strats991]

It's likely the only surviving footage of this, dating back more than 40 years... and it's provided to you for free. And you complain?! You're a disappointment to your folks, junior.

[@Lone_Star_Proud]

Cheers is on reruns everyday on the Pluto app kid. This is not rare. Don't post vidoes if you're afraid of how viewer will react.

[@FatPigInTheHouse]

How was something that was only 17 years old already so popular??
