How many of you watched Cheers in its original run? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

PZelda · 06-20-2004, 11:00 PM

Just wondering how many people there are here that watched Cheers in its original run or grew up watching it when it was still on.

I know I sure did - I remember the Kirstie Alley years really well. My parents were both Cheers fans, so I would often sit down to watch Cheers with them, and I got hooked on to it. I always liked Carla and Rebecca the best.

I was almost 8 when Cheers ended for good.

I started watching it from the beginning. I remember I didn't like the show at first.

tiff7 · 06-21-2004, 03:48 PM

I was 1 when the show began & 10 when it ended. My mom likes the show (her fave is Cliff) & my sister & brother-in-law don't watch TV. My niece is almost 4 & watches cartoons. (PBS & Disney Channel ones, not the ones on Nickelodeon) My faves are Sammy, Diane & Carla.

I watched it in its original run, and I liked it.

It was the first time I thought a sitcom was winking at me.
I got the jokes.

I watched some of the Rebecca years in the original run. I wasn't born when Cheers started.

Moondance · 06-21-2004, 06:16 PM

I remember that show back when it was on and watched it sometimes

Once it went to cyndication, I watched it before dinner. I was 8 or 9 then.

I was 2 when Cheers started

When it ended I was only 2 so no I never watched it in it's original run or even remember my parents watching it.

aw I did. Well, part of it, at least. I was born in '85, and my earliest memories are of watching Cheers. My sister, who is 13 years older than me, and had a large hand in raising me, was obsessed with cheers, and loved lilith.
She used to put my little three-year-old hair in a bun.
She even had the music score to the Cheers Theme song, so that was the third song I learned to play on the piano, after "chopsticks" and "mary had a little lamb"
my piano teacher was pretty damn impressed.

is it any wonder that i am the way i am?

I just saw your profile- I'm only a couple of months older than you (1985er here too). My parents would tape Cheers all the time...I KNOW I have a tape here somewhere...I'm just not sure where it's at...that had like two or so episodes of Cheers as they originally aired 10+ years ago.

I remember when all 3 of Kirstie Alley's "Look Who's Talking" movies came out - I went to see the 1st and 2nd movies when they were in theatres and I remembered her as Rebecca on Cheers.

I remember my mom taking me to see "Three Men and a Baby" when I was 7. I'm a 1980 baby. lol I thought that Ted Danson was cute back then...Steve Guttenburg, too...Whoo!

I went and saw "Three Men and a Little Lady" with my friend! - I love the original one the best! I used to think that Nancy Travis, who played Sylvia, really was british..hahaha! But then I saw the movie "So I Married An Axe Murderer!" LOL

Oh and I saw Rebecca's EVAN DRAKE twice in person! One, accidently cause I was walking up a mountain with my dad and he was coming down with his dog and said HELLO

-I was 12 or 13 at the time. The second time I saw Tom Skerrit was in 1997 when I was an extra in the movie "Contact." I had to stand there and watch Jodie Foster and Tom Skerrit get in and out of a helicoptor and then I had to watch them pretend like they were on the news. Hahaha!!! - Robert Zemekis waved to me, you all!

I LOVE that movie with Mike Myers and Nancy Travis, by the way. And your avatar too! I thought Travis was British...why does her American accent sound so fake?

Thanks about my avatar. Diane was puckering up to Sam for too long!

I watched it in its original ran.

I watched it all the way through from the very beginning.

Mr. Television · 06-22-2004, 01:05 AM

I watched it when it was originally on. I watched once in a while when Shelley Long was on it and I watched it every week after Kirstie Alley joined the cast.
