TV show description:
The sitcom about a bar “where everybody knows your name” – Cheers.
Cheers is run by former Red Sox pitcher and recovering alcoholic Sam Malone (Ted Danson), dimwitted bartender Ernie “Coach” Pantusso (Nicholas Colasanto), and two waitresses – intellectual Diane Chambers (Shelley Long) and sarcastic Carla Tortelli (Rhea Perlman).
In later seasons, bartender Woody Boyd (Woody Harrellson) and manager Rebecca Howe (Kirstie Alley) join the staff.
Barflys include know-it-all postman Cliff Clavin (John Ratzenberger), lazy accountant Norm Peterson (George Wendt), intellectual psychologist Dr. Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer) and his eventual wife, the deadpan Dr. Lilith Sternan Crane (Bebe Neuwirth).

What an amazing show Cheers was! I continue to watch the reruns whenever I get a chance even though I have seen all the episodes at least 3-4 times. What great writing and acting.
