i dont know who i would say.. Kelsey? hes been playing lovable frasier for over 2 decades.. then theres also kirstie.. look whos talking.. ted.. becker...

I'll say Kelsey Grammar. His show, Frasier, was such a runaway hit and is still going strong. He's certainly the highest paid perfomer of the Cheer's cast.
Woody Harrelson's film career was really cooking there for a while, but appears to have cooled. It may perk up again though.
Ted Danson's Becker has a good following. I enjoy it, but it's not exactly a huge hit.
As for the other cast members, they haven't been able to maintain success. It's a shame because the entire cast was very talented.

Without a doubt Kelsey Grammar.
He is one of the biggest stars on NBC right now, not to mention one of the highest paid. Next to "Friends," "Frasier" is a signature show at NBC.

Yes, Kelsey definitely. Without a doubt. Though, I have to say, it really depends on how you look at it. Some chose to move on to films, some stayed on TV, and then others went off to different fields in the entertainment business. You can't judge the success of their career on how well known they are or their income.

Take Bebe, for instance... she's been VERY successful on Broadway, and that's what she chose to pursue. Two Tony's, Astaire awards, drama desk awards... hell, she's like the Queen of Broadway!

Woody has made well for himself in his film career. I can't say anything for the other cast members, because their only real claim to fame is Cheers, but I think all three above have been very successful in what they chose to pursue.

i,m also in the minority of people here SOMEHOW STRANGE BUT KELSEY GRAMMER IS DEFINITLLY GOING STRONG SINCE HE IS PLAYING THE SAME CHARACTER HE HAS PLAYED SINCE 1984 AND PEOPLE STILL APREACATIE HIM AND HE IS GOING STRONG,and since he seems very very very suprizinglly unbelivablly strong and comfertable in his role still and he enjoys it,but woody haroldson as you did point out is still doing very very very well in another field film and of course bebe is the diva of browdway which is her strengh like DR STERNIEN POINTED OUT SOMEWHERE DEFINTLLY IS BEBES BEST FIELD ALLTHOUGH SHE WAS EXCELLENT AS DR LILITH STERNIN STILL,but i guess you have to take it all and see who is still doing the best even yet still they are in differant fields who on the whole is doing the best and i would have to vote for kelsey grammer and i don,t think ted danson is doing all that bad nor is kirste alley doing that bad or am i wrong but wasn,t veroncas closet a somewhat hit show for awhile,but i still would have to vote for kelsey simplelly because he just seems the most popular and because he has kept up such a great quality for such a long long long time as well,i would have to say they are all defintilly talented actors,but kesley is defintlly going the strongest in my personal opnion,but they should all have great sucess they definitlly deserve it,they are great actors defintilly,but i don,t think they will ever do much better work personally then CHEERS,CHEERS IS DEFINITLLY TOPS I THINK,DEFINTLLY THEY WERE SIMPLLLY THE BEST IN CHEERS I DO THINK SOMEHOW FOR SURE DEFINILLY,LOL CHEERS!

TJL · 04-03-2002, 09:16 PM

Still, you can't count out Ted Danson.
Although his first post "Cheers" effort failed (Ink, with his wife Mary Steenbergen) "Becker" seems to be going strong....

Very true! becker doesnt have that cheers charm, but somehow i sometimes laugh at a few things on there.. like that girl with that voice.. i dont know her name.. lol

sammyanddiane · 04-04-2002, 06:46 PM

yeah i do have to agree with ya there,even though i do not care for ted dansons new show becker it does have a certin appeal about it and a strange charsma to it as well,Ted Danson does play the role very well and it just proves what a talented and versitle actor he really is and i enjoy watching anything with him in it almost being the big fan i am hahahahaha LOL,He seems to be very at home in that role,so i do have to admit i do think becker is good role for him and he is doing very well and should not be left out for having an one of the best post cheers careers even if i do not really care for his show very much,but i still think cheers it tops for him and all,but that is just my personal opninon still,

IheartMoonlighting · 04-05-2002, 02:03 AM

Hands down Kelsey. He's won awards. the show has won awards and to be honest about it, when i saw the news reports way back then that Fraiser was going to be the spin-off i was like, huh. but it worked. He was able to pull it off. WHen Fraiser finally ends, that's going to be another story.

I wonder which friends cast will make it. Out of all of them, David S. has the least chance.
