What's the best show that stars a former Cheers cast member?

Chocoholic · 02-05-2002, 08:16 PM

I love Becker. I could never get into Frasier. I hate Veronica's Closet. I don't remember The George Wendt Show, Ink, or Pearl.

Diane Chambers-Malone · 02-05-2002, 10:05 PM

WOW! Great poll you have there! I wish I would have thought of it. I, too, voted for Becker. I think that Ted is just hilarious on that show. Did you see George Wendt was on this last episode. I remember Pearl, and I remember Ink slightly. I too, cannot stomach Veronica's Closet. I love Kirstie, but I thought that she was extremely tacky in that show. Frasier would have to be my second, but I do not specifically tune in for it. Becker is my must see on Mondays.

I'm glad you like my poll

I hope I didn't leave any shows out. I tried to remember as many as I could. Becker is a great show, IMHO. Last night's episode with George wendt was so funny.

I WOULD have to go with kelsey grammers show frasier,that is such a great show i think,but my least favorite show is becker,but ted danson plays the role very well and it is nice to see him in a role completly reversed from sam and once when rhea pearlman was on there i loved seeing her on that show as well as alittle more relexed,i love frasier alot,but i do think it is time the show to end this next season should be it,s last i,m afraid sometime ago the writing went down,but it is still strong and good,but i think it is time that kelsey grammer takes a break from playing frasier atleast for awhile,maybe afew years,IT,S AMAZING THAT GUY has been playing the doctor for about 17 years and he still plays it well,but i honestly think kelsey grammer has been in that role a little to long,i still watch frasier and enjoy it,but if i were kelsey grammer i would leave the show

achually my favorite show is taxi it had rhea pearlman in it before cheers as danny devitos girlfriend,funny because she is his real life wife and what happened to her after,she want on to star as danny devitos female equvilent,i think of it that way personally,but that is just my whole idea on it,what do you think about the whole characters being alike apart from the fact that they were both nasty but were really quit nice on the inside thourgh there hard as nails exteror,i enjoyed it alot,rhea pearlman was more a guest star then a regular but i just thought that i,d add it because that was a really good show and it came to us from none other than the tremedislly talented charles brothers and it was really nice to see it

Diane Chambers-Malone · 02-08-2002, 10:43 PM

Great example! I love Rhea, she is a great actress. Actually, I remember Pearl, I even remember watching it a few times, but I never really had a chance to get into it because I think it was cancelled. Danny Devito is great too, and Taxi is just classic.

Chocoholic · 02-08-2002, 11:18 PM

Taxi is a cute show. I love Louie and Jim. They are so funny!

sammyanddiane · 02-09-2002, 11:00 AM

yeah it was really nice and cute show,i really wished that it would have stayed on longer,but then who would have played carla,rhea pearlman was an excellent choice for the part i think,she is a really good actress as well,it would have been nice to see more taxi though,but it was still a short lived classic

sammyanddiane · 02-18-2002, 11:12 PM

i don,t know if this really counts,but i,d like to put will and grace in here it had woody haroldson guest star afew times,not as good as frasier or taxi in my opnion but still a good show and very funny to i think,its one of the few shows now a days that i really like and woody is pretty good in it i think,but it,s no cheers i think,but still quit good

Frasier.
And not just 'cause it's set in Seattle either!!!!

I think Kelsey Grammar and company have done a really good
job of giving Frasier a life of his own after Cheers.
one of the fun things about Frasier is that every so often one
of the old Cheers gang will show up on the show like Sam,
Diane and Lilith all have done.

sammyanddiane · 02-24-2002, 01:33 PM

hey good point i agree with ya,they have made frasier a indpendent character who has life after cheers and i really like the fact that sam,diane and the other characters sometimes make apperances in the show and i really like seeing my cheers characters back together,even if it is on frasier which is good show,but i would prefer to see it in the bar oh well,it would be nice to see them do shows somewhere about all the cheers characters,but it is allways nice to see the cheers characters once again,LOVE LIVE CHEERS AND FRASIER,lol
