I think Cheers is one of the best TV shows of all-time. It's so funny and heart-warming, the kind of sitcom that we need to see more of on TV. I can watch it over and over again and still laugh out loud each time.
OTOH, I never understood the appeal of Seinfeld. I think the characters are highly unlikeable and the humor is very mean-spirited. I'll take Cheers over Seinfeld any day.

I'm not a big fan of either show, but if I had to choose, I'd say "Cheers."
If not for "Cheers," there probably wouldn't be "Wings."
I've said before that I use to watch Seinfeld, just not anymore in reruns.

Seinfeld....Kramer is hilarious....Newmanium was a funny episode, Cheers is a classic, I can't remember the chubby guys name that sat at the bar?:confused:

as much as i lked Cheers, I have to say Seinfeld, the storylines were much more interesting one reason being that they were not all set in a bar;)

I cannot say that seinfeld was warm there is a cynism and arrogance of both bostonians and new yorkers and those sentiments are defiantly portrayed on those shows,Carla is the biggiest example of that.her general treatment of customers was rude,unproffessional,ifI had been rude like that I would have been fired.I realize for comedic license there needs to be a protagonist to play off of,but she rarely showed any warmth at all.As far as creative plotlines seinfeld might have been the most inventive.Cheers was a 1 note joke mostly sam/Diane.Sam/Rebecca/or the same sam malone going after women.Seinfeld allowed everyone to shine and brought on other actors to shine.I can say the writing was great and the chemistry of the actors were great.the Charles brothers and J.Burrows were the heart and soul of what made cheers a great show.And larry David And seinfeld for seinfeld were to there show.The writing,Cast for both shows are legendary though.
Seinfeld all the way! Cheers had some good characters & good writing, but would've been much better w/ Fred Dryer (or anyone else) instead of Ted danson. Frasier's a great show & I continue to watch it--hope they spinoff Frasier in the end as well. Too bad that Seinfeld-spinoff with Kramer's lawyer never panned out--i'm sure that would've been good.

I think they are both great shows.
But if I could only have one of them it would be Cheers.

I don't really like either show, but I can tolerate Cheers. Seinfeld is so extremely overrated. It is not the least bit funny.
Both are great shows! I like them both, I can't pick just one.

I can't stand Seinfeld...I could just never get into it. And for those of you who think it's overrated, I agree. Cheers is ok, so if I had to pick one it'd have to be Cheers.

Cheers....its just the best show ever made, Seinfield was OK, the comedy was semi fresh and sometimes tiring....Cheers was WAY ahead of it's time in fact i think if Cheers was on today, It would completely beat out all of the other shows... The writing was just sooo unique and fast and great on Cheers. Don't get me wrong i really like Larry David but there is no Question about it! Cheers is the best~

I love both shows, and coming from Boston, Cheers is extra special to me, but if I had to choose, I gotta go with Seinfeld.
The show just kills me.

Yeah, although Cheers is a really really good comedy, Seinfeld is probably the greatest sitcom of all time, bar none. Cheers is definately in my top 10, maybe even top 5 but Seinfeld is definately #1.

Cheers was my fav until I started to watch Seinfeld. At first I did not like it, but it is hard not to get hooked if you have an open mind about it! There seem to be a lot of my older relatives who are now seeing Seinfeld for the first time in re-runs and now they are loving it!

Hands down it's Cheers. Seinfeld is annoying. I've never heard more whinning from adults. George especially gets on my nerves. I've never cared for that show.

I think the characters on Friends whine a lot more, but the Seinfeld gang comes pretty close. In my opinion, Seinfeld and Friends are the two most over-ratd shows of all time.

I liked both, but Cheers gets my vote. It brings back a lot of nostalgia for me, because I grew up on Cheers in the late 80's...I can kinda remember when Shelly Long was on, altho I remember the Kristie Alley days better. I like Seinfeld too, though, but Cheers was more my taste. :D
