I keep hearing there was more than one spin-off from Cheers and I would like to know what they are.

Fraiser and The Tortellis were the only two.

The only ones I know of are Frasier and The Tortellis.


Wings was created by the same people who created Cheers and Frasier, but I don't think it's considered a true spin-off.

Besides Frasier there was The Tortellis. I think that only lasted a year and it was with Nick and Loretta. Hope this helps.

I'm not exactly sure that Glen Charles, Les Charles, and James Burrows created Wings and Frasier...I think that just some producers/writers worked on wings and frasier from cheers.

You're right. "Wings" and "Frasier" were created by David Angell, Peter Casey, and David Lee, who were producers on "Cheers" during it's strongest years (seasons four through six) IMHO. The Charles brothers and James Burrows created "Cheers". Glen and Les Charles do get a credit at the end of every "Frasier" episode for creating the Frasier character.
