who saw the tribute to it with friends right before? OMG... LoL, and why doesnt kirstie want anything to do with the show! aw ted and shell were holding hands... lol !! ahh.. i love NBC i love NBC.. okay, ill stop.. that was wierd though, they showed bebe in the coming attractions n she wasnt even there!! awwwwwwwww

Yes I saw it, Oh my god I was dancing around my bedroom! I thought they would show some clips with other sitcoms I repeat
I LOVE NBC:happyface

I thought it was a good show.

LOL i was on the phone watching it.. i didnt expect a whole tribute to it! and friends.. my other favorite tv show! lol, and at the end when they started singing all the themes i didnt think cheers was gunna be on.. and all of a sudden they grab beers and start singing! i was like ahh no they didnt! LoL, and our cast was singing to it.. shelley and rhea got confused on the last line.. oh and did anyone else see the resemblence in shelleys husband to ted? i thought that was him!

:Sigh: :lol: The NBC 75th Anniversary special made my heart sing with glee! I was almost ready to die of happiness. I taped the entire thing, and I can't wait to watch it again. Christine, you and I should be locked away together. I, too, was almost crying with Ted and Shelley came out holding hands!!! I want them to get married. LOL :crazy: I missed Bebe and Kirstie, but I wasn't too disappointed about Woody Harrelson. AND THEN When Martin Short started the crowd singing the Cheers song I was crying. You could tell the cast was emotional too. I LOVED THE SPECIAL! Like the rest of you, I didn't think that NBC would put a lot of Cheers clips in, but by the display of Cheers in the special you can clearly see that Cheers is the darling of NBC. And the other parts that weren't Cheers related (YOU MEAN THERE WERE OTHER PARTS???) were also so well done and I just think it was really tasteful. I can't wait until NBC 100th LOL.

Oh, sorry I forgot to add one more thing. Christine, I agree about Shelley's husband! When I watched the special last night I was like OMG Ted is sitting next to Shelley. But, then when I rewatched the Cheers part this morning I saw that it wasn't him.
:(

Will Ferell, Ana Gasteyer, Tina Fey, and Jimmy Fallon made the theme songs really funny.

yeah i saw it!

when the Friends cast came out and started talking about it, i was like "yeah, o well..." then i realized that THEY were introducing the Cheers thing lol. good segment...did ne one else notice that some of the clips were remastered and others weren't?

then when it came to the theme songs, i was thinking "cheers better be here." The martin short says something like its ending, and i was like "no!" lol...but then he says for everyone to join in this last one, and the Cheers theme starts! it was the longest theme there...and i bet everyone was expecting them to sing the whole refrain (not the short one like they did...which is y they were confused i guess lol)

and Kirstie has done some stuff...i have a pic in hollywood for somethin where she was w/ them...and plus, Shelley was there! i was surprised by that! (kinda...)

clips coming soon...hopefully

I LOVE NBC!!!!
Same here with Ted's resemblance to Shelley's husband and the weird thing thing is Shelley married her husband in 1981 (I think). A year before Cheers started. Did Shelley know Ted Danson at the time?? Hmmm. All right I know I'm getting crazy but the girl can't help it! BTW are Rhea and Shelley getting along again?

OMG! That was the BEST thing I ever seen on NBC. John Ratzenberger at the beggining when Kelsey was taking questions was just like ol' Cliff Clavin!! I LOVED IT!! And when the did the Cheers Tribute...amazing....I was BAFFLED that Shelley Long was there! It was so sweet :) Wow...and the theme song thing...so wonderful.....When the cast was singing, I got sooo happy. I CAN'T WAIT for a Cheers reunion......AND the NBC out takes and Must-see TV tribute!! I recorded the 75th anniversery so I am going to watch it over and over agian. Thank you NBC and the cast of 'Cheers'

Alanna-- yea have them lock us up together! all they will feed us is jello..

i didnt realize how many people liked cheers.. and from how much it was in the 75th anniversary special.. i think theres alot more people.. like us! maybe more sane,but like us! LoL, i was sooo happy you dont understand!! i was runinn around my house like a lune. hmm!!

i just thought of something.. it was live in new york.. n they had a red carpet.. if i knew that i wouldve gave u guys plane tickets so we couldve all broke the barrcades and ran towards our lovely 50 year old role models! LoL.. and betty white is so old! i was like aw, golden girl..

and at the end when sam and diane said goodbye at the way end.. awwwwwww LoL!!

VCR's are a great thing... :)

Yeah Everything was great. Cheers was probably NBC's most important sitcom ever it's like Happy Days to ABC. Cheers deserves all the tributes it went from last in the ratings to first. It is definately one of the best sitcoms of all time.

IT IS THE BEST SITCOM OF ALL TIME!!!

::um did i scream outload?:: lol yea i totally agree with you.. theres so many of us out there.. devoted fans.. n more like some of us, who are just catching cheers new in reruns.. even though i used to watch it when i was little.. i dont remember everydetail with what happened

I agree that Cheers is very important to NBC, but I think the Cosby Show is just as important because it was the Cosby Show that helped boost Cheers up in ratings.

As soon as I get my car, I'll drive out to PA to pick up Alanna, then we'll drive to NJ to get you... and then we can all drive to NYC and stay for the weekend or whatever. We can go "stalk" Bebe... ROTFL (aka, see her in a show... or... um... literally stalk... j/k)

I can't wait till I finally have a car... *sigh*

yea!! great idea! LoL, and who said Stalking was a bad thing? so what, only 15 years of jail or so if we get caught..! no problem!!:happyface :D

I was sooo happy when I saw Ted, Shelley, Rhea, George,
Kelsey, & John. I luv Cheers & was sooo happy when the
theme song was played. I have 1 question-why did Ted
wear a toupee-I liked his toupee. Why werent Woody &
Kirstie at the NBC 75th Anniversary-I also luv Friends & was
happy 2 see them-but where was Lisa Kudrow (aka Phoebe)‚

-Tiff

P.S. Who besides me think Ted was cuter as Sammy then
on Becker. (sorry, something happened 2 my question
mark & apostrophe). I luv Sammy & the gang & the bar
where everybody knows your nameÁ Also, are there any
sites for Ted on the net. (in place of the question mark)

cheers rulesÁ

Tiff7, I agree I think Ted was cuter as Sammy than as Becker. I guess it's because his hair is gray now and he's much older.

Yes, obviously Ted is older. Actually I think he gets better with age. I think he was attractive as Sam, but there is a certain dignity that comes with age. I think he is very handsome still. I think the reason he appeals to me is because there is just something kind about him. I have never seen him appear to be bitter or mean. He just has a warmth to him I think. And, of course, he is down right sexy LOL
