What time did the Cheers finale air?? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Because.... the Seinfeld episode "The Pilot" aired the same night as the Cheers finale.

Here's a summary of the episode, from tvtome.com....

63. The Pilot (1)
gs: Mariska Hargitay (Melissa Shannon) Anne Twomey (Rita) Gina Hecht (Dana Foley) Jeremy Piven (Michael Barth (TV George)) Larry Hankin (Tom Pepper (TV Kramer)) Kevin Page (Stu) Lanai Chapman (Sid Fields' Housekeeper) Laura Waterbury (Casting Director) Elena Wohl (Sandi Robbins (TV Elaine)) Bruce Jarchow (Doctor) Al Ruscio (Manager) Richard Gant (Fred) Peter Blood (Jay) Roger Rose (Mark) Samantha Dorman (Waitress) Erick Avari (Cabbie) Bob Shaw (Paul) Stephen Burrows (David) Bob Balaban (Russell) Peter Crombie ("Crazy" Joe)

Jerry and George get the green light to produce Jerry, the pilot for the series based on their "nothing" lives. Russell Dalrimple, the president at NBC behind the pilot, is obsessed with Elaine. George is obsessed with a white spot on his lip and a box of raisins taken by actor playing Kramer. The real Kramer has an internal plumbing problem and on his way to fix it, he gets delayed and is caused to "miss his chance." Jerry has an audition with the new "Elaine," a method actress interested in being Elaine in every way. The real Elaine has a problem with the coffee shop, they appear to be only hiring buxom waitresses, so she tries to get hired and files a report.

b: 20-May-1993 pc: 423 w: Larry David d: Tom Cherones

NOTE: Originally broadcast as part of a 60 min episode.
This episode aired the same night as Cheers series finale.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

64. The Pilot (2)
gs: Anne Twomey (Rita) Jeremy Piven (Michael Barth (TV George)) Larry Hankin (Tom Pepper (TV Kramer)) Kevin Page (Stu) Elena Wohl (Sandi Robbins (TV Elaine)) Al Ruscio (Manager) Richard Gant (Fred) Peter Blood (Jay) Brian Bradley (Butler) Bob Shaw (Paul) Deborah Swisher (1st AD) Jeff Oetjen (Wilton) Pat Hazell (Himself) Kari Coleman (Allison) Bill Erwin (Sid) Lanai Chapman (Housekeeper) Jane Leeves (Marla) Rick Overton (The Drake) Elizabeth Dennehy (Allison) Maggie Han (Cheryl) Ping Wu (Ping) Brian Doyle-Murray (Mel) Carol Mansell (Mother) Jon Hayman (Voice of Donald) Jennifer Lynn Campbell (Tia) Nicholas Hormann (Calvin) Teri Hatcher (Sidra) Tony Amendola (Sal Bass (Rushdie)) Larry David (Man on Raft (uncredited)) Bob Balaban (Russell) Peter Crombie ("Crazy" Joe) Heidi Swedberg (Susan) Barney Martin (Morty Seinfeld) Liz Sheridan (Helen Seinfeld) Wayne Knight (Newman)

Rehearsals for the pilot begin. Russell's obsession with Elaine begins to affect his work. George asks TV Kramer about the raisins. The real Kramer might be forced to work on his plumbing problem by using the "dreaded apparatus." Elaine gets an investigation started on the owner of the diner. George gets the results of the biopsy of his white spot. At the taping of the pilot, Elaine sneaks in disguised and "Crazy" Joe jumps out of the audience. Elaine finds Morty's wallet in Jerry's couch. Everyone from the past season comments on the pilot as it's broadcast, they all think it's great. When Russell disappears, the fate of the pilot is in the hands of the new president, a person convinced that Jerry can't act.

b: 20-May-1993 pc: 424 w: Larry David d: Tom Cherones

Maybe this aired between 8 and 9.

And then at 9 would be the Cheers finale....
And then the special afterwords.
Then the news at 11:00.

And then the Tonight Show Live From The Bull & Finch at 11:30....
all I know is.... I DEFINATELY want those specials on the DVDs.

Brian Damage · 02-17-2004, 11:16 AM

I seriously doubt they'll ever show that Tonite Show special again. Nor do I think the cast would want that to be shown.

barwars · 02-17-2004, 11:20 AM

They got SO wasted.

Brian Damage · 02-17-2004, 11:34 AM

It was hysterical in all honesty.

AKA · 02-17-2004, 04:57 PM

That night, Seinfeld was on from 8-9 and Cheers (including the Bob Costas special) was on from 9-11.

The special, by the way, aired immediately before "One For The Road."
