Give Me a Ring Sometime (Pilot)
On Sept. 30, 1982, the doors opened on a homey Boston bar, a welcoming place to go, “where everybody knows your name.” For 11 seasons, a top-shelf cast served up refreshingly spirited comedy, with the occasional dash of bittersweet. Despite almost being cancelled after the first season, the sitcom went on to win 27 Emmys, including four for Outstanding Comedy Series. In the series opener, a graduate student (Shelley Long) passes time in the bar while her college-professor fiancé is off retrieving an antique wedding ring from his first wife. While she waits, she trades witty ripostes with the bar owner (Ted Danson). And the fun begins.
