Trivia:

According to the sign outside the bar, Cheers was established in 1895. But in the episode where Rebecca wants to have a 100th anniversary party for Cheers, Sam says that when he bought the bar, he made up the date.

Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In a episode #3.5 Diane states that people who where born late are usually smarter, then she admits that she was born late. Yet in an early season four episode, she states she was premature.

Quotes:

Sam: [Sam has sworn off his womanizing ways, but the bar patrons beg him to reconsider] Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!

Cheers.

'Cheers' has to be my all time favorite United States comedy of all time!

What a crazy generation the 80's was! What other era could consider wearing such crazy sweaters be regarding as okay!

The early episodes are rusty... You wouldn't have been surprised if they cancelled the show. But it wasn't cancelled and 'Cheers' got better and better.

Ted Danson is a legend as Malone, so cool! Yet you hear him in interviews and he seems so boring! Shelley Long was okay but had times of being annoying I think I preferred Kirstie Alley as the dumb bimbo! Nicholas Colasanto was genius & Woody Harrelson was just the young version of him (same I.Q!). Rhea Perlman was born to play Carla while John Ratzenberger & George Wendt were born to play Barflies! NORM!

Kelsey Grammer & Bebe Neuwirth's relationship was probably the weirdest thing about the show!

I hope they still show 'Cheers' in the years to come!
