Did you know that the Cheers spin-off series Frasier is about to get the reboot treatment? And were you aware that Nicholas Colasanto, the actor who played Coach on Cheers, passed away shortly after season three wrapped? Let us know in the comments section down below.
Cheers ran for 11 seasons. It was a comedy that was set at a Boston bar owned and operated by Sam Malone – a womanizing former relief pitcher for the Red Sox. The series’s ensemble cast included waitresses Diane Chambers and Carla Tortelli, second bartender Coach Ernie Pantuso, and bar regulars Cliff Clavin and Norm Peterson. Later on, in its run, the main characters of the show included Rebecca Howe, Lilith Sternin, Woody Boyd, and Frasier Crane.
The sitcom premiered on September 30, 1982 and ran until May 20, 1993. Throughout those 11 seasons, the show had a total of 275 half-hour episodes. After making its premiere in '82, the show was almost canceled during its first season due to ranking almost last in ratings for its premiere. However, Cheers quickly became a rating juggernaut in the US. Throughout eight of its 11 seasons, it ranked in the top ten, and for its 9th season, it peaked at number 1.
Cheers won a staggering 28 Emmy Awards – including four for best comedy series. It went on to spawn two spin-offs, one of which was successful while the other was not.
