i've never seen The Tortellis.

Wasn't there another Cheers spin-off? I know Wings isn't a spin-off, although some Cheers characters did appear on the show.

there were no other spinoff's besides those two. I remember that I thought the Tortelli's was unfunny, but for some reason, I'd like to see it again now.

Dan Hedaya only appeared in SIX episodes of Cheers during its run. So he got a spinoff based on literally four appearances (the fifth was a backdoor pilot).

Before Frasier, Cheers Tried A Spinoff You Never Heard About

Frasier rivaled its parent show Cheers for popularity, but it was the second attempt at a spinoff show focused on one of the titular bar's patrons.
