There appear to be some considerable comparisons between two situation comedies, M*A*S*H and Cheers, while there are also considerable differences.
* Both M*A*S*H and Cheers began in a year ending with a "2" and ended on a year ending in a "3".
* Both ran for exactly 11 television seasons.
* At first, both shows had low ratings, and the networks were poised to cancel them after one season. But because of the they were renewed for a second season and were pushed to main event status (being ranked in the Top 20 in the Nielsen ratings), and even ended their runs while still having main event status.
* Both had top-rated series finales (M*A*S*H had 105,900,000 viewers and Cheers had 80,000,000).
Any other comparisons of the two series?
