It seems like a lot of you have something against cheers and I was just wondering why.

Who hates Cheers?

Lemme at em! I'll tear 'em apart!!!

Will and Grace Fanatic · 06-19-2002, 04:57 PM

Who here hates Cheers? I don't I think it is one of the best sitcoms ever. Whoever hates Cheers just has bad taste in tv shows if you ask me.

I wouldn't taint my 'cathode ray tube' with it!

<< I think it is one of the best sitcoms ever. >> Uh.....OK!

I just answered this in another thread!

I tihnk most of the FOL people hate cheers because N@N took FOL off for no apparent reason, and then played Cheers all the time.

Cheers is pretty good!

I Dream of Jeannie · 06-19-2002, 05:25 PM

Cheers is fine with me!

That's no reason to hate Cheers!!

This is weird...but i have bad memories of Cheers. Because when it was on primetime I was too young to stay up and watch it on Thursday nights, and Cheers was like my cue that I had to go to bed. I remember NBC's 80's Thursday night schedule....It was Cosby at 8:00, A Different World at 8:30, Cheers at 9:00, and Night Court/Dear John/Wings at 9:30.

"Cheers was taped before a studio audience" was my cue to get up and head upstairs to bed. Sometimes I would try to act like I didn't know what time it was and my mom would just look at me.

But on the weekend, I could stay up as late as I want....Explains my love for the Golden Girls......Which was Saturdays at 9:00.

I'm a Cheers fan myself, but I think that saying someone has bad taste in TV just because they don't like your favorite TV show is just plain rude and immatre. How would you like it if I said you had bad taste in TV because you like Will & Grace? If people here don't like Cheers, then that's their opinion and hey're entitled to it.

I found the show extremely dull and boring.

The bar scene isn't for me. It jumped the shark before it even started IMHO.

What I liked least was ALL the media hype it got when it went off the air in 1993, compared to "The Wonder Years" (one of my favorite shows which NEVER jumped the shark) which left the same year and got NEXT TO NO attention. Plus, TWY's finale was not shown during sweeps week.

yeah I know what you mean. I have read stuff on this site about people who don't like Will and Grace.

I like Cheers but mostly the 1982-90 episodes. I can't stand the fact that it comes on four times a night, everynight. That makes it boring.

That wasn't NBC's or Cheers fault. If that's something that made you angry, you should blame ABC. They were the ones who chose not to renew it. They were the ones who also chose not to air the finale during sweeps. It was ABC's job to promote the finale and obviously didn't care too much about it to give the finale a buzz.

I respect anyone's opinion who didn't like Cheers.(That's what this board is all about) The reason Cheers got all that buzz is because it deserved it. The show lasted a long time and was still a solid ratings hit with viewers when they decided to call it quits. I agree that N@N shouldn't air it 4 times a night, but they wouldn't do that if people weren't watching it!

That about sums it up. The switch didn't bother me because I like Cheers way better than Facts Of Life, but to each their own.

Central Perk · 06-21-2002, 04:20 PM

Yea I really like it and I think it deserves all of its attention, its probably one of the only sitcoms that critics loved but audiences hated then audiences liked it, it got a bunch of emmys and other awards, and went to number 1 in the ratings...how many shows do that? I really love cheers its my all time favorite sitcom but if you don't like it I'll respect your opinion...
