I say this without a shred of hyperbole: "Cheers" walked so every other sitcom after it could run. From the Greendale study room of "Community" to Ross and Rachel's never-ending "will they, won't they" relationship on "Friends," NBC's critical and commercial darling about a bar in Boston created the blueprint.
The quintessential ensemble comedy where everybody knows your name, "Cheers" is rich with biting dialogue and big personalities, which kept audiences gripped for 11 years. Sam and Diane's stormy, yet passionate, love affair remains one of TV's all-time great romances, "NORM!" continues on as a greeting for bar regulars, and the sequel series "Frasier" — arguably the most successful spin-off in television history — is set to find new life in the world of streaming. "Cheers" is a timeless show whose influence is still felt 30 years after Sam turned off the lights and locked the door for the last time.
Over its decade-plus run, "Cheers" had its fair share of challenges — the death of a beloved actor and rumored tension among the cast being chief among them. Nevertheless, the endless jokes and clever banter marched on for a whopping 275 episodes. And sure, they weren't all winners, but "Cheers" chalked up far more wins than losses (certainly more than Sam did for the Red Sox). Here are all 11 seasons of "Cheers" ranked from worst to best.
