For lack of better conversation topics, what do you guys think the pictures that go with the opening theme really mean?
For example in the first one where Ted and Shelley's name come up she has her foot on him showing idk control or something. so what do you guys think?

Haha... I never thought about that. I'm not sure if I really wanna know what that one of Ted & Shelley means. Hehe

lol hmm yeah maybe :rolleyes:

Ok, how's this:

"Ted Danson/Shelley Long"-
It's an episode where Diane hates Sam. So she's trying to kick him and she thinks it's funny, but Sam thinks it's funny, too because he thinks she's just joking.

The other "Sam" one-
He's standing, very proud of his bar.

The "Coach" one-
It's him in his younger years, and he's standing there posed, thinking about "the good ol' days"

"Carla"-
She's being escorted by some guys into Cheers.

"Woody"-
He's thinking about his times in Hanover (OMG... I LIVE in Hanover- just not a farm Hanover! I just realized that he lives there, too!)

"Frasier"-
He's just sitting there thinking about his darling Lilith

"Lilith"-
Okay, I don't like that picture... she looks a little possesed.

"Rebecca"-
She's thinking of managing the bar, wondering why she ended up getting a "crummy job at Cheers."

"Cliff"-
He's sitting, dreaming of the days he lived in "the old west" and describing his adventures there.

"Norm"-
First he's thinking about ordering another beer, and then he thinks about when he's older, in the future, when you can get beer for free, and that's why he holds the "WE WIN" sign.

Am I missing anyone??

Have you ever noticed that they show for a brief second during the Rebecca years this pic? I think it's kind of nice... you know? like a reminder of the Sam and Diane Relationship.

Ohh i HATE this kind of things, looking deeper into stuff.

We have to do it ALL the time in school.... art, english, even MATH sometimes.

I just think, its there for ENTERTAINMENT, leave it alone, YOU dont know what they were thinking.



Not you guys, my teachers.


But, the word CHEERS comes up in front of the "sam and diane" pic doesnt it??

???????

It looks like she's fighting off a drunk guy. :lol:

I just dont see the point in further analyzing stuf. Sometimes that can ruin something if you think about it too much.

EXACTLY.

people think to much today.








The more you think, the dumber you get.

That doesn't make much sense.:confused:

Think about it (no pun intended), the harder you try to figure why somebody drew something this way, or decided to write something that way CAN make you dumber, because.... they could have just been writing or painting or whatever.... and never really put emotions into it.



Everything has to have meaning all of a sudden.



It probably doesnt make much sense, but what Im trying to say is that life is too over-analyzed nowadays.

Let it be....

Dude!!! This was just supposed to be a fun board for ideas. No need to criticize. This is too confusing.

:rotflmao: .....and Sam WAS a recovering alcoholic.....:D :lol: ;) I'm joking I'm joking...lol

trust me...DON'T THINK ABOUT IT TOO MUCH! lol
it IS dangerous to your health...seriously

figure out why my site, devoted to the Cheers theme and its pics, is at a stand still...I thought about too much, and i couldn't explain all the little details any more...so my site's just kinda sitting there.

maybe someday, i can think about it again and I'll finally revise it haha

Barwars, in the Rebecca years, the season 1-5 Sam/Diane pic WAS used, but only used for the background of the word "Starring." opposed to seasons 1-5, where it was "Starring" AND "Ted Danson/Shelley Long"

Doug
BTW, if you dont know already, my site is (well, kinda is): http://www.freewebs.com/wekyn

oh yeah...also notice in the "Cheers" logo picture, the guy in the front center. i always thought he was cuddling (or whatever he's doing) w/ someone beside him, but it's actually the lady's leg from the center of the picture!

also, notice the guy on the far left hand side (he's looking down at something...)
and though you cant see it on TV real well, in the full version of that picture, the lady on the top center (her apron can be seen on TV, behind all the main ppl), she's showing a good amount for the turn of the century time period haha

on also not seeable normally, on the far right, there is a drunk from off the streets peeking in at everyone



see? even thats too much lol

i really just wanna know who found all these pics, why they chose them, and who put it all together (the theme)

Hey doug! Your site is great, but none of the videos seem to work for me...lol I got all excited because I have been looking for that NBC 75th anniversary clip forever.

~Maria

thanx!
none of the videos are online (actually, the seasons 2-3 Paramount Home Video may be online, but thats it), thats why lol (never had time to put them on)
but im hoping to soon

I didnt mean to criticize your topic, its just OVERALL, everything is overanalyzed these days....

I think Carla's picture was the most fitting.... just showing the dress, it was perfect.

As for everyone else.... Ill be back....

Thats "A bartender serving drinks". The 1st-3rd seasons are:
1: Black car
2: Cheers in 1982
3: Cheers in 1889

If play the long version of the theme song in the first three seasons, its 1-17
The 6-11 are 1-8 w/ 9 w/o Shelly then Ted and the rest of the cast from seasons 6-11. 11 with Bebe's exception.
They're pics of the bar from the late 19th thro the early 20th century

Does Lilith's pic scares you?

Also have u notice they change the intro a little bit? Like on The CW when they show the first three seasons it went from the car to the bar, then they show the old fashion picture and went on with the theme on the short version? On Tv Land when they show the first season without John's pic it went from the car then the logo and add the proud bartender and the barbershop triplet. on the second and third season it did the same thing except they replace the triplet pic with John's. I like the long versions better when they show the whole opening sequence.

they edit opening sequences on reruns in order to add commercials. if stations offered showing the entire opening along with deleted scenes with the stipulation that they'd also add 25 more minutes of commercials (lengthening the broadcast to a whole hour), would it be worth it?
