Just a little tired of the Woody character .... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Chocolate Moose · 02-27-2008, 11:36 AM

Loved this show back in the day, but didn't get to see all the seasons, so I'm picking them up now, and I've seen SO many with Woody; I'm just a little bored of him, that's all.

Anyone ?

I could never get tired of Woody, i mean, how can you not like lines like his answer to Dr Crane's saying that "You catch more flies with honey than vinegar!" with "Excuse me Dr Crane, but, you catch the most with dead squirells!"

(Classic!!!)

I'm a Woody fan too! I always preferred his episodes over Coaches.

I loved them equally...it's amazing that Coach had such an impact as he was only on the show for 3 of 11 seasons....maybe thats cause Woody was really a younger version of Coach, in so many ways (Great characters each, unlike most "dumb" characters on TV, they were likeable and believeable because they werent really so much stupid as just a little less sophisticated)

Both were fantastic. As were both Diane and Rebecca. A show that lasts 11 years is going to undergo cast changes, and that's a part of life. To Cheers' great credit, the writing was so stellar throughout the show's run that it never skipped a beat when old characters left and new ones replaced them.

Mikado, I agree, that quote of Woody's about the dead squirrels was one of the absolute laugh out loud moments in Cheers' history. So was this beauty from Coach:

Coach: What's your name, honey?
Blonde at bar: It's Brandee. With two 'e's.
Coach (looking at bottle label): Two 'e's? Imagine a big company like that spelling it wrong.

That's how I feel abt the character, Vera on Alice. She had some sophistication though. She loved old movies and she had smarts.

I loved the Woody character so much. I couldn't stand the moments or episodes that involved his girlfriend Kelly. Woody could stand on his own, he didn't need a girlfriend. Well, he could have one, but I could have done without seeing her. Hearing abt her like Norm's wife would have been just as good.

I agree with you that the Kelly character didnt add much to the show, on the other hand, we'd have never have had the "Kelly(Kelly Kelly Kelly....Kelly Kelly Kelly...K-E-L-L-Y) Song" without her!

The way I feel, I could have done without that too. It was annoying. And so was she.

Well, the Kelly song was no Watchin' Girl, but, it wasnt THAt bad

Aw, I love Woody. I'll never get sick of him. I haven't seen all of the Kelly episodes, but I sort of like her. I think her and Woody make a cute couple.

Another thing is, I think without Woody (and Lillith) , the last 5 years would have been unwatcheable....I never cared for Rebecca in the least and Sam just seemed to deteriorate into a real scumbag once Diane left.
