And if it were a bar, would it serve the same type of clientele?

Would Sam still be depicted as such a womanizer? Or would overzealous political correctness in this day and age have prevented such a character development from occuring?

Just a few thoughts.
It wouldn't work.
I'm not exactly sure why, but Cheers would not work if it had started today.

I'll eventually have a reason, but for now.... it just wouldn't work.
