What do you consider Cheers? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 09-12-2003, 07:34 PM

A comedy or a dramedy? Sure, Cheers had plenty of laughs, but it also had its share of tearjerking moments. I vote dramedy.

DianeChambers87 · 09-12-2003, 07:45 PM

dramedy...It really has the perfect balance of both comedy and drama

MaydayMalonesGirl · 09-12-2003, 07:50 PM

I say dramedy.

barwars · 09-12-2003, 08:15 PM

Comedy.

Its just laugh-out-loud hilarious.

Sure, there are some serious moments, but at its heart- pure comic genious.

I would consider "The Wonder Years" more of a dramedy.

I think Cheers is more of a comedy. It had some drama, but it was mostly comedy. M*A*S*H is more of a dramedy.

PaulaAbdulFan · 09-12-2003, 09:36 PM

I say comedy..i swear it was like piss-your-pants funny!!!

CarJackSnyder · 09-12-2003, 10:47 PM

BAILS!!! what's up man?

lol Well I thought it was piss-your-pants funny too!! but it also had a good amount of drama..not all the episodes but a lot. That's why I think it's both.

CheersChild4life · 09-13-2003, 11:34 AM

Yeah I'm gunna go with both

Watching the first season again, Cheers, to me was a
dramedy in the first season. When Sam and Diane got together, it became a comedy.

NORM · 09-13-2003, 06:41 PM

What do I consider cheers, besides the best show ever, a comedy that is funny everytime you watch it.

I consider it a comedy. It does have some serious moments but all sitcoms do. I agree that M*A*S*H is more of a dramedy, and I also think Ally McBeal is considered a dramedy too.

Teddy02 · 09-14-2003, 07:17 PM

definately comedy. like everyone else said it had it's serious moments but it will forever be a comedy to me

sinatrastar · 09-16-2003, 05:40 PM

I think of it as a pure comedy. I dont remember any dramatic - type shows. Let me think for a minute. No, I cant come up with any right now.
