This was a show that never disappointed. Every single episode was funny, fresh and never took itself too seriously.
🍻 Timeless Cheers: While exploring the evolution of the Cheers cast over 41 years is intriguing, it's important to recognize that change is a natural part of life. Emphasizing how they've "changed" may overshadow the richness of their experiences and the enduring camaraderie that makes Cheers a classic. 🌟 #CheersLegacy
I was 14 when the show started. I didn't miss an episode until I went to Parris Island in March 1988. When Sam said "sorry, we're closed", that was the second time I almost shed a tear. The first time was when Hawkeye saw "goodbye" from the helicopter.
I really miss good shows. I doubt there will ever be anything that can compare to Cheers, Mash and Seinfeld. I rarely watch anything other than MeTv.
Try the good place. It is pretty good, but I agree with you. They cannot make the same type of shows because of the social outcry. Times are changing, so hold on to what you can. Let the people coming of age pick their shows like we did ours. ( signed up in april of 88 and hit fort Dix in June...so I understand what you went through to an extent...Have a good one)
Same I am a 1980s high school kid. I did see mash and did participate in a MASH hospital exercise for the day when I was in the USAF. it was really a interesting experiance.
Great program. I used to watch reruns as a kid in the early 90's, I've instantly fallen in love with this movie to this day. A true classic, USA fans forever
Same here! That and Rewind. Those channels have all the best shows from the 70s, 80s, and 90s.

I had a pub in the UK....when we left the customers spontaneously sang the Cheers theme tune.....hearing it now brings back so many happy memories of the pub, the customers and of course the show itself. The great things about Cheers is that its humour doesn't age and the characters were so true to life. Both are very rare in TV comedy.
I am firmly convinced that Cheers is the best US Sitcom there has ever been. I grew up on it the first time around and have watched it from start to finish many times over the decades. Its truly a remarkable achievement to have 11 seasons set almost exclusively in just one room. The writing and jokes are as funny to me now as they were almost 40 years ago. Its near perfection imo, I much preferred the Sam and Diane period over the Sam and Rebecca period but it still continued its high quality even after Diane had departed. Its easily my top US sitcom, plus Lilith was always hot !
Diane was a great character, but Rebecca Howe was much funnier in my opinion. Both actresses did a great job at portraying their assigned characters.

Never in a million years did I expect Woody to become the breakout star of that show!
He was after Ted's fame died. And Americans love dumb people. Look at the list of presidents.
I have it on DVD along with TAXI, Night Court, Frasier, etc. When I am feeling down, I binge watch and they always make me feel better. They don't...can't...make them like that.
agree it musta been the times it's crap and horrible now 😿❤️
And nowadays all that fits on one usb stick...
@@beverlygannon4141 Education dude please get one. Your post shows your lack of.
@@Me-qp8vz I'll take your word for it, I don't own that kind of stuff. Do you buy it that way? I've never seen it on sale.
damn how have i not seen or heard of night court, i love those types of shows, the ones you listed and also becker, spin city, wings, any other recommendations?
I love the whole series (which I have on dvd) and Shelley sent me a lovely signed picture of herself some years ago. Fantastic cast - and one of the best sitcoms of all time.
Did she look 120 in 5hat pic too.
@@ronehlert5976 Well, aren't you a sweetheart! JERK!!!
@@ronehlert5976 another great comment from a 12-year-old. Hope you ready for aging. Because you will never look as good as her no matter what age.

The show encapsulated everything certain people experience where you can feel comfortable being on your own....... going to a place where everyone really does know your name ... its like a warm blanket....
Yes. I had a local like this , but eventually every pub /bar has it day. Sadly..😭
I loved this show and I wish we could have more of this type entertainment every day!
With all the wacko's making lawsuit threats, you could not make a show anywhere close to Cheers now. The loons are trying to take over the asylum.

I LOVED Cheers I think we all did. Good back in the days 👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💯. TV is crap now.
Cheers was the very last comedy I liked. I do not like some high-profile more recent shows like Friends and Seinfeld. I liked several before Cheers, but none afterward.
@@HMMELD agree.
I loved it then and now. So many great lines and scenes, and great characters who were continually developing as the show went on. Later in the 90's, I became a big fan of Becker, which I think also was very funny.
yes reality TV is not nearly as funny as scripted TV.
It sure is!
My family were Cheers fans since the first episode and when Woody came on the scene we all knew he had star power! There was just something about him so I'm not surprised at all at how his career has turned out!
Still have a copy of the final episode on VHS from the night it aired.
Rarely missed an episode - and never tire of re-watching favorite ones.
Really no need for the clickbait pictures of Shelly Long. The video is a high quality analysis of the main characters in Cheers. Other than the thumbnail, loved it!

My all time favorite TV show.
Loved this show! Always great acting and laughs!!
One of the few shows that is still funny after 40 years, even though you know all the jokes.
Coach was a character for the ages.
I have watched a few Cheers UA-cam videos regarding the cast and it seems no one ever had an unkind thing to say about Nicholas Colasanto.
Loved him!
Beginning of one show with Cliff coming in from vacation. Coach having a hard time with a blender. Cliff puts coaches tie in the blender. Coach yells out anybody wants a mytie.... I think poor Cliff was in pain trying not to burst out laughing. I know I was in pain laughing. One of the great beginnings.
He told Diane that when he was younger they called him red. She asked if that was because he used to have red hair. He said no, its because I read a book once.
@@justabaker5609 Now you typed it I remember that one.... just finished laughing so hard yet again. Thanks for bringing that great memory back up!!!!
Everyones comic timing was spot on..loved the series.
In 1991, I had traveled to China. Many people there had satellite dishes and watched American TV. One gentleman who asked where I lived, couldnt place Connecticut, so I explained it was between New York and Boston. He smiled and said: “Boston! Cheers!”
🤩🤩👍👍
Wait. A Chinaman had watched Cheers in China??? Blow me down.
🚶🚗🛻🚐🚚🚛🚓🚕🚙🚌
Get out of the road fool!!!!!!
cool!!!
Oh right. So this gentleman never said "oh New York" first? Please if you're going to make up a story make it believable.
Still today I watch the reruns online, sure do miss that show and the times. God Bless and thank you Cheers Cast and producers, you guys and ladies were fantastic, wish we had more like you today.
R.I.P Kirstie Alley
OMG! I never knew she had died ...I'm in shock...just read she died last December 2022...must 71...how sad. I really liked her 😱
@@beverlygannon4141 Awww yes, so very sad, and she was lovley, pretty... life has so many unexpected twists and turns doesnt it .... 🤗
OMG, I will never forget seeing Kirstie Alley in the 80's as the Vulcan Lt Saavik in Star Trek Wrath of Khan!!
She was very pretty lady,. Liked her.. sad!y died a year ago aged 71 colon cancer..😭❤️❤️🙏
@@beverlygannon4141 Yeah, I remember hearing about her passing.
Mr Saavik!
@@Me-qp8vz ??????????
This is great show cheers
One of the best episodes was when Cliff was on Jeopardy! I thought I would not stop laughing.
Who are 3 people who have never been in my kitchen ! One of the best episodes
Best sit-com ever. I still don't understand why it was cancelled.
I don't remember any other shows where cast members were replaced and the show never skipped a beat. Shelley or Christie, Coach or Woody, it kept on being funny and very entertaining.
Of course, Coach had a wonderful type of humor, but Woody brought the simplicity of the country mixed with the occasional philosophy that made sense.
One of my favorite scenes was when Diane, in order to spite Sam, goes out with a guy on a bike then returns to the bar... a total mess.
Heck, I just miss the show a lot.
You spelt shit-com incorrectly. You seriously don't know why it was canceled? Google racist stereotype/Kirstie Alley Cheers and you will see why it was canceled. I don't want to spend the next hour trying to explain it as I doubt you can comprehend it. But hey use Google and prove me wrong?
Ted Danson did not want to do the show anymore. They asked Woody Harrelson to take over as the lead, and he refused. He stated he would not go on without Ted Danson. The writers/creators/producers decided to end it.
> I still don't understand why it was cancelled
Why? You understand that sit-coms are incredibly hard to write after 4 years, let alone 8, 9, or 10 years, right???
cheers and taxi were 2 of my favs..
Frasier was pretty darn good as well.
@@cherylimeson3006 yes and dear john. i was disappointed dj didnt last.
What an iconic show, legendary cast. So beloved. I was pretty young but remember the show well. Wish there were shows like this again. Never will.
Great program. I used to watch reruns as a kid in the early 90's, I've instantly fallen in love with this movie to this day. A true classic, USA fans forever
It should be noted that the Norm character in Cheers was paid homage by Morn in Star Trek Deep Space Nine. He was a solid fixture at Quark's bar. There were a fair amount of jokes about the character during the run of that show. Morn had his own seat at the end of the bar that nobody was ever allowed to sit in. He was also referred to as the first Patron to come in when Quark's opened, and the last Patron to leave when Quark's closed each day.
Nice story bro. But if you're going to make up stories at least google first and find out the truth about Morn being based on a character from a 1940's movie. That Gene had hoped to use in the 70's series of Star Trek phase 2 that never happened. And was a semi tribute to Gene. But hey don't let the truth ruin your story.
Oh and please watch the show again. Morn did NOT have a seat at the end of the bar there was always 2 seats left of him and 3 seats right. So he was just left of centre. A Roddenberry joke that I doubt you understand. I won't explain the joke as i'm sure you won't get it.
@@Me-qp8vz You're off your meds again. You're flipping out behind your keyboard.
You forgot Lillith who came on the last couple of seasons! She was the perfect girlfriend for Fraser and reprised her role as his ex-wife on Fraser.
There's no real excuse for leaving out Lillith! She gave us a lot of laughs too!
@@julianlewis1792 She was just so absolutely perfect for Fraser-a match made in some weird universe but they cracked me up!
I saw her in The Addams Family on Broadway.
@@Rockhound6165 she had to have played Morticia! She would be wonderful!
@@annehersey9895 she did. Another Cheers alum the late Roger Rees aka Robin Colcord played Gomez.
Thank you so much I always enjoyed cheers😊😊😊😊
This was based on a real pub in Boston. There was only one of the actors from New England, John Ratsenberger, who was from Connecticut. The show ended the same day that the real Cheers closed its doors. Even though I was 13 at the time, my friends and I loved this show.
That story has been around since the beginning of the series and is only partially true. The exterior shots of the TV Cheers, was actually a bar called the Bull and Finch, on Beacon St. In Boston. Because it became so popular, the bar actually changed its name to Cheers. However, the interior didn’t look anything like the TV show’s set. There was another bar in Boston that also became known as Cheers that was remodeled to look like the interior of the fictional bar.
@@billmoran3812 Agreed. I spent 3 days in Boston in the late 90’s and visited the bar. Most disappointed it didn’t look anything like that portrayed in the series. Rest of Boston and New England was wonderful and worth the trip though.
@@billmoran3812 thsnk you
@@dala5568 yes new England looks nice from photos I've seen. U were liucky 👍
👍👍
Diane and Lilith were so articulate, it was a pleasure to listen to them ❤
Your videos have become a way for our family to unwind after a long day. We look forward to these moments of relaxation.
Final episode, final scene: a customer (played by the show's producer) knocks on the door. Sam says to him , "sorry, we're closed." Sam is then about to walk upstairs, but pauses a moment to straighten a photo of Geronimo, hanging on the wall next to the stairs. That photo was in the makeup room of Nicholas Colasanto (Coach). I thought that a touching tribute.
Diane stole my heart
Ahh cheers, I loved this show, I was 12 when It started and 23 when It ended so many happy , enduring sometimes sad moments but what a wonderful cast, I miss It and wish they would do a reunion show.
Sadly I work them gone rebcca in it , I loved her.😱🌝
@@beverlygannon4141 Can you please tell me what this means? "Sadly I work them gone rebcca in it". I'm a bit confused.
I still watch Fraiser. And Cheers when I can find it.
GREAT VIDEO. IT'S ALWAYS FUN TO REMEMBER OLD HIT SHOWS . A TIME WHEN COMPUTERS & VIDEO GAMES WEREN'T SO PREVALENT !!!
Yes , better days than now for sure 👌
Loved Cheers and the Frasier spin off. My favorite line from Cheers was Norm's, "Women, can't live with them, pass me the beer nuts." I use it all the time.
Same here! I used to recite that line to my co workers. They didn't know I borrowed it. 😁
I loved the "Normisms" which came near the beginning of many episodes. My favorite one when Sam asked Norm how the world was treating him, and Norm replied "It's a dog-eat-dog world out there, and I'm wearing Milk-Bone underwear!"
That made me lol!
You do know that is a joke about brewers droop and why some women lead men to suffer from it? Don't you?
@@thomasbrown3356 So you can't get an erection anymore? Or did you missed the meaning of that joke and spent all that time telling people you couldn't get it up and never knew? OMG that's too funny!
The Best of Times ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Loved this show. My friends and i at that time frequented a small bar that was very similar to the Cheers bar. It was called "The Bicycle Club" and was located off Beechnut/59 in southwest Houston. This was early 90s. I'm 59 now so i was around 23-25 yrs old during this time.
Love all the actors! GOD BLESS✝️
Shelly Long also starred in the hilarious OUTRAGEOUS FORTUNE in 1987 with Bette Midler and Peter Coyote..😊
I had a huge crush on Shelly Long from that movie
classic comedy. my fav top 5 shows. i binge watched it about 12 years ago and will prob do it again eventually. mash might be next. that show got me through a tough time in my life. it showed me no matter how hard i had it, there is always someone out there that has it worse.
I love all the cast from cheers
I love that show ❤ never miss one
Be sure to see Kelsey Grammar in his latest film Jesus Revolution. Outstanding picture. A MUST SEE!!
I will make a note of that@
@@julianlewis1792 it is rubbish
I saw it recently and loved him, still a great actor!
I don't care what anyone says, I loved Kelsey Grammer's movie Down Periscope. "welcome aboard sailor"
Happy birthday, Ted Danson!!!!
great show all the cast members were great
I probably watch EVERY episode.
favorite episode is with Kevin McCale when he and Woody tell the same story with completely different memories
McConaughey may have been in a movie with WOODY... but HARRELSON is a MUCH BETTER and COOLER ACTOR- HANDS DOWN!!
Alas, those were the days when they still made good clean fun and humour in television
Cheers is still going on our screens 2023 🥳 I think it's great
For your thumbnail why didn't you just put a picture of a pretzel next to Shelley Long? It would have been just as accurate a portrayal.
Oh how I remember singing along to the start of that show. I remember every word.
Loved and always love Cheers!! 😍
This "Where are they now?" stuff has been done a lot and Cheers is always a topic. This video is by far the best I have seen. Great job.
Loved both actresses. Super talents.
Loved cheers. Shelly long & ted danson oh, & norm made the show. Shelly long was a Fox.
I loved all the main characters, but perhaps my favorite character besides Sam and Diane was Norm. Cliff was hilarious too, though. It cracked me up when Cliff attended a party at Fraser's house with many other psychiatrists, and the psychiatrists kept giving their business cards to Cliff upon meeting him 🙂
Still watching it today in 2023 along with the new Frasier series.
Wow! That thumbnail was CLASSIC click bait! Good job!
Ever since I was a kid I used to cast comic book characters in my head. In the 60's my Fantastic Four would have been Russell Johnson as Reed (Professor from Gilligan's Island) Tuesday Weld as Sue, Bobby Rydell as Johnny and Vic Morrow as Ben. One bit of imaginary casting I did that actually happened was when Kelsey Grammer was cast as Hank McCoy, the Beast in X-Men.
Great show, very funny
What was up with the thumbnail?
Cher....I would love to see Cher in another movie.
I just WON’T believe Shelly LOOKS LIKE THIS NOW!!!!😮😮😮😮
She doesn't! It's clickbait.They think we're stupid. Stop & think for a moment,if she really looked like that, don't you think she'd be all over the internet and the News, on the cover of tabloids etc. Making a big deal about her looks etc. Sorry, I didn't mean to ruin it for anyone that didn't know. Then, some sites say that someone passed, when in fact it was a bunch of Bull. Clickbait
Clickbait
Terrible clickbait, actually very stupid!!
@@donaldperez7981 That bizarre picture was obvious B.S.
I was shocked as well!
RIP Kirstie.
NO!!! She does NOT look like that today. This is a scam!
yes, it’s called clickbait 😅😂🤣😂
She looks fine.
Took the words right out of my mouth !
@@KAMMD ☺️
They do this all the time. Click bait worse than national enquirer.
Thumbs Up !
Great show.
I used to watch the re-runs as a child in the early '90s I was an instant fan to this day.
A true classic, USA fan forever ❤
My grandmother loved this movie but unfortunately she is no more
Favorite cheers member/sY Flembeck-beer and pretzels that’s our game Cher’s 😂😄😆❤️
Fantastic show even in reruns
The Thanksgiving dinner food fight is one of the funniest scenes in TV history.
Thanks, Great Blast from the Past Video. I definitely enjoyed "Cheers" although my Favorite Sitcom of all time was "Dads" (2013) with Seth Green and many more, followed by "Daddy Dearest" (1993) with Richard Lewis and Don Rickles, both of which were Axed early on, probably to "Edgy" for some? Randy AKA randog311
Harrelson, we salute you!😂 Lebanon Ohio🎉
Wow, someone has been knocking yrs off their age. 12:07 Kelsey Grammer was 30 in 1982 but 41 yrs later, in 2023, he was only 67! interesting. So, age really is a state of mind.
Theme song and the actors appreciated 😊
What was Danson thinking going with Whoopie Goldberg?
Apparently Whoopie swallowed. A lot of men love women who swallow. That's how she got her nickname. Everytime she swallowed they guy would yell Whoopie!
Shelly was on Modern Family. She didn’t look as bad as that picture on here.
"Hey everybody!"
"NORM!"
"What have you been up to, Mr. Peterson?"
"My ideal weight, if I were 11 feet tall!"
One thing that some people don't realize is that in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, the character of Morn (who never speaks) was a tribute/nod to Norm.
Outrageous Fortune
the food fight episode was hilarious
My favorite episode is the one where Norm sells squeaky shoes to the other cast members.
I hate the fact that they show them then and now cuz they don't look the same anymore but of course they don't look the same they're older now as if these people here who are Judging them look any better themselves. I don't care how old they are I'm still a Big Fan of these actors and actress.
Old is gold! The older the better!
Though I did not watch Cheers, too busy doing the real thing in the eighties we allowed them to come into our homes and become part of our life and family we're better for it!
As a Brit I have to admit that I generally prefer our UK comedy shows. However, hands up, I have to say that Cheers and Family Guy in particular are comedy genius from the other side of the pond. The characters and the theme song from Cheers are top notch. Hill Street Blues also gets me every time with its theme tune. Other top shows that I love from the US are Magnum, 24, Everybody Loves Raymond, The Americans, The Wire, Banshee, The Walking Dead, Dexter, The Following, Sons Of Anarchy, Supernatural, The Sopranos, Barney Miller, and many others.
@Nick Robinson I'm glad to know someone (besides me) remembers Hill Street Blues (right now their theme song is playing in my head, lol), and Barney Miller.
@@pamprier4710 Hill Street Blues was first shown at about midnight over here in the UK if I remember. I used to sit up in bed watching it and loved every minute. The acting was top notch and the cast was so well picked. Barney Miller was just sublime with its off the wall humour. I also remember a comedy set in a radio station which I believe was called WKRP in Cincinnati which had a similar type of humour. I look back at those times with a great fondness as I am sure you do. Glad you also enjoyed these shows.
@@nickrobinson8339 Omg I LOVED watching WKRP! Every few years, right before we celebrate Thanksgiving here, I find (on youtube) the Thanksgiving scene of WKRP: "As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!" 🤣
I used to head into the Bull and Finch on Beacon Street from time to time for a pint or few, as it's right across from the Common and and it's a cozy place filled with mostly locals these days. Back in the 80s there were lines for people to go in and buy a T-shirt. Today people mostly go for happy hour and pubgrub. The food is all named after characters from the show, but it's tasty and they know how to pour a good pint.
❤❤❤❤❤
I tuned in every week just to hear Woodys and Norms tidbits of wisdom. 😂
Great video. Since I was born the same year as Kelsey Grammer I noticed an error in the graphic depicting his age in 1982. In that year he turned 27 not 30.
Whoopie Goldberg?!!
He must have been blind drunk
Interesting video. But I really don't think you should use a deceptive thumbnail. I would watch your videos without that.
Danson did a great job in The Good Place, which is a pretty good show. Silly, but fun.
CHEERS RE-BOOT
This show was one of my favourites as the character's were brilliant
It was so funny and I have rewatched it afew times now
Abit like the Walton's
Moonlighting
