It’s so fucked up… I’ve been a bartender for 17 years. Never, did I think that the people I worked with and served, would become my favorite people I’ve ever met. I’ve never known love, grief, friendship, joy, and pain, like I have since it started this. I thought I was wasting my life for a time, but I agree with Sam. I’m the luckiest SOB on earth. Those people made my life worth living.
After 17 years you're a lifer. I retired after 35 years behind the bar. Great memories. Be sure to tuck a little back for retirement. It's nice to work part time when you want and be able to enjoy your life after all those nights, weekends, and holidays. 😊
It was so sad seeing the bar close...but nothing lasts forever. Norm added plenty of comic relief, but also some wisdom: "I don't think it matters what you love, Sammy. Could be a person, could be a thing...as long as you love it totally, completely, and without judgment."
@@scottodonnell7121 I sat outside for a while and got cold and then leaves and McDonlds's cups on my shoulders, I smelt the pollen of a new spring but my shoes had rotted by then so I didn't go see. Door is still closed.
It’s sad thinking Kristie Ally is no longer here. I teared up when I heard Dansen say he was on a plane and ended up watching some old Cheers episodes featuring Rebecca. When he got off the plane he learned of her passing and reflected on how she was so good in her part.
What a great ending..His one true love is Cheers.."Where everybody knows your name" and with that, this was the end of an era..I watched this show because my uncle watched it..I was 12 years old when it aired and 23 when it ended but watching now I love it and Frasier..True gems in television history..
It was a great show. One scene I've remembered all these years was coach walking in shivering. Diane says "coach you don't have a coat on, it's 30 degrees" and coach says "Thank God, I thought I had malaria."
This was the show I watched with my dearly departed mum while growing up in England. I’ve lived in Canada for 30 years now but anytime I see Cheers I think of my mum. This show means a lot to me because of that. Makes me feel sad and happy at the same time. Incredible TV show, one of the best.
I also loved watching this show with my dearly departed mum while I was growing up in Canada. She really loved the Shelley Long episodes but Rebecca was also fun, too. Can't believe it ended more than 30 years ago now. Crazy how time flies!
My Mom passed away Oct 2023. I started rewatching the series because I too sat next to her on the couch as a teenager every Thursday night watching and laughing with her instead of going out with friends for the evening. If I had to work, she would record it and lay in bed listening to me laugh hysterically downstairs. Watching this now brings her closer to me while I adjust to her absence here on earth.
Even as a teenager, this episode filled me with a sense of nostalgia. Cheers was there for a big part of my childhood. It felt like saying good-bye to friends. I remember the days of sitting in the family room around our three foot thick television set. Things were more simple then.
ya when families used to gather to eat and watch a little tv before bed... no one needs to connect anymore the family now all has hand held devices eliminating the need for human interaction and contact.
@@CailenCambeulit isn't the same. There was something special about everyone gathering at an exact time to watch the latest show, or you missed it. Streaming is awesome, but we did lose something too.
For me, it was the symmetry they provided with the beginning scene and the end scene. In the beginning scene, the very first time we see Sam (Season 1)he’s coming from the back. In the ending, the very last time we see Sam(Season 11), he’s going to the back. A very subtle touch but definitely elite status. Then there is, what I call “the shot” which is the different angle they showed of Sam when he told the customer at the door that they were closed. This angle was never shown throughout the entire series. It looks like it was just another way to show the finality of the show Another very subtle touch, yet very very effective.
@@cracker4706 Sometimes it works. That's how a lot of friends move apart, some get jobs and move away, others get families. Me? I end up stuck in the same place by myself and see it happening, so it makes sense when it happens on a TV programme.

I believe this is the greatest show ever put on TV. You can’t hear that theme song today and not sit down and watch this show. So many memories and good times from a different era. Shows like this would never exist today…thanks for all the memories.
I'm crying right now... But back then my dad was a Stillman on this and many many shows for over 65 years... I've been a cameraman for over 40 years now myself and also was on this set...

You hit it right on. I used to be one of them characters. Walk into my regular bar and they knew what I wanted. Set me up and I knew everyone there. I am 50 years old and watching this show back then I never thought I would have that kind of connection. Yep, the bar becomes family.
I remember watching this when it aired. I was high school and this cast had been a part of my life since I was 3. Lots of great shows ended in ‘92-93, Who’s the Boss, Growing Pains, Magyver all ended on the same night.
I also feel a tear and a laughter watching this clip. Sam, Norm, Carla, Woody, Cliff, Coach and Diane feel like family. I tuned in every week to watch and laugh...to see my TV family get into and out of trouble. Now I catch reruns from time to time and they always make me laugh. Cheers is a timeless classic that I will treasure forever. The Thanksgiving food fight...little Fredrick yelling "Norm"....the hairy man tour...Diane jumping off the boat...and a thousand other misadventures make every episode an enjoyable journey.
Yeah by far my favorite show. Seinfeld was my 2nd favorite in the 90s. I was in high school in the 80s....85 graduate to be exact. I'm fixing to turn 56 in Sept 2023. This show and song always brings me back whenever I watch reruns are hear the song. Man I miss them days !! Loved the 80s. They had alot of good shows back in the 80s and even the 90s ! Good good times.
Loved watching this as a kid, even though I didn't understand everything, with english not being my first language. Honestly, they truly succeeded in making that filmset feel like a real place, and even more impressively, they kind of broke down the fourth wall so it felt like you were there in the bar. Like a content, safe fly on the wall. Very homely. I wanna watch this show again now, and understand everything they say. I don't even think I'm gonna be disappointed at all.
More or less, that's how I experienced it too. I was just a kid, trying to grasp what all these scenes were all about. I enjoyed the whole thing, even though I didn't fully understand everything. You're right, the setting is so cozy, it makes you feel at home. That's a subtle part of the drama itself.
What a great show. Well written, and one of the all time classic sitcoms. Loved every one of the characters. I think that was a portrait of Geronimo in the frame that Sam straightened.
Have a hard time watching this....the very last scene makes me wanna bawl....can't believe it's been more than 30 years since it ended. Time goes by too fast.
Funny thing when you watch popular shows from generations before your own: even though it's a product of a different time, you find the appeal it had to those who were the grown-ups before you. I was just a little kid (not even double digits yet) when Cheers ended. My folks were big fans of it, though. Now, decades later and having watched through it myself, I see the poignancy in this ending. It really was like saying goodbye to a friend. I hope generations to come find this series and appreciate it as well.
My dad was always watching All in the Family and laughing. I always sided with Mike. Now I'm in my '70s and find myself laughing at the same things my dad was probably laughing at.
I have yet not get emotional when I watch this ending. And, every time Sam adjust the picture, I am done. This was not just a part of my childhood (just like many family memories are), this was my childhood.
My late brother and I would get together every Thursday night for Cheers and Hill Street Blues. Good times and great shows, they don't make TV like that anymore.
Bob Broder, agent for the show's creators, also made an uncredited appearance in the final moments of the show as the man who is told by Sam that the bar is closed. Growing up I had so many incredible TV shows. These days we get maybe one episode a year as good as these shows were. The Cheers theme will forever be sung in my house. Forever.
I was a senior in high school. I stayed home the next day after watching this episode. It broke my heart. There have only been 2 shows that the final episode caught me between a tear and a smile; the other was MASH, but the latter didn’t happen until 2 decades after that show ended, when I too was serving in Korea.
I absolutely loved this show as a teen in the 80s. It showed how people from all walks of life have just one or two simple things they wan to achieve. We're all much more alike than we are different and shows like this showed us that.
This show has a special place in my heart. I graduated high school in 1994 and throughout my high school years I remember my dad and I watching the 10pm news and then Cheers every Monday thru Friday!! ❤❤
Thursdays were such a great lineup. The Cosby Show, Family Ties, Cheers, Night Court... when Hill Street Blues music plays, it was time for bed. Older folks stayed up to see Johnny Carson's Tonight Show then Letterman's Late Night. Makes me want to build a media server to show these shows with random vintage commercials thrown in.
I was 16 when this came on. In those days at 16 (uk) we stayed in. That music has so many happy memories of my brother and I sitting and watching. I wish he was here now so I can say hey let’s watch cheers. Thankyou actors, directors, producers Thankyou
There is something comforting for me watching cheers, it reminds me of watching this with my family on a Friday night on channel 4. Back in the 80s with only 4 UK TV channels.
I visited the real Cheers some years ago in Boston. I even ate at the restaurant up stars the place was packed and they had a little shop and episodes playing. Sooo cool!
I had duty the night of the last show of cheers. Nobody was really talking. During this scene we were silent. I still watch it on DVD'S. Still gets my attention just like mash did
I remember watching this with a glass of brandy in one hand and a cigar in the other and when they all walked over with brandy and cigars I felt I was right there with them!..unforgettable.
i muss always cry, about the talking of them, about friendship. and the end was like the beginningscene.if the series is over, i must start again. cheers forever1
When Norm says "you can never be unfaithful to your one true love," I'm reminded of that scene where Sam and Diane almost got married, but she wanted to go work doing something she loved on the other side of the country, and promising to return in six months to marry then. Sam realized in that moment that as much as they could get on and make something together, they'd both always be distracted by another great love; for her, writing, for him, the bar. So, because he does love her, he decides to let her go, knowing that she probably wouldn't return, or if she did, she wouldn't be truly happy. He parts with her with kindness and caring, saying "have a good life." I find it astonishing for some reason.
I was living down the street on Beacon St (same street as Bull Finch Pub - aka Cheers bar) finishing my last semester in college when they filmed an outside scene for the last episode. I recall a big crowd watching and I think one of the characters was standing on the outside of the building for some reason. Not a very detailed story, I know, but just a recollection from over 30 years ago of a show I loved and was sad to see go. Just glad I saw that tiny piece of history on Beacon St. in 1992.
One of the most emotional episodes of all time in the 33 years that I have been watching Television one of my favorite sitcoms of all time cheers this show had a huge impact on me growing up
As a bartender nothing makes my job more enjoyable than having a bunch of my regular customers show up and we just chit chat away about everything under and above the sun. To the point I’ll go up on a night off to hang around and have a drink with.
I just heard this bar is up for auction. Cheers was one of my family's favorite shows as a kid, the favorite. I got to go see the Cheers bar in Boston, then in 2000 when I moved to L.A. I got to visit the actual set! It's one of those things I'm so glad I did.
There used to be a Cheers bar in London in Mayfair. I went to it once or twice while traveling for business. It was kind of odd and all the TVs were showing some episode of Cheers.
I went to college in Boston when the show started. Great memories! I believe the bar was based off a place called Bull & Finch, located in Boston with steps going down from street level. The Cheers bars were knock offs to the actual one but very successful nevertheless.
I remember this show my mom and dad watched it.. every Night that it was on, from the 80's all the way to the end all 12 years that they were on the air. My mom loved this show, and I remember that she cried during the "Last Call" Lets bring Cheers back for one Final Run!.....
This brought back a lot of good memories when America was sane! There comes a time when all good men & women must come to the aid there country. The decline of our country is happening to fast.
Sam never did appreciate what he had but rare moments. He had a cash cow business that basically he didnt even know he bought until he sobered up, that did well enough to support his lifestyle. Not to mention a staff that looked out for him and wouldn't rip him off. Nice house in Boston, Vette, trips up the coast of Maine every other weekend with some hotty. That's not cheap. Just not owning the bar would cut his dating pool down a lot alone being he would have no reason to go into bars (meeting place back then, lol) being a recovering alcoholic. Cheers provided everything for him.
As a kid I had a friend send me a copy of this episode on vhs since I grew up without tv. I remember Carla was featured on WAAF 107.3 in Boston that day talking about the show. Grateful to have seen it then.
20th C and 1990s Friday at work when all we had to worry about was what NBCs Thursday night "Must See TV" lineup had for plotlines the night before. When 40% of the entire country watched those shows every Thursday evening.
If a child was born on the day that Frasier Crane made his debut on Cheers, that child would be entering their senior year in college when Frasier Crane landed in Chicago at the finale of "Frasier".
You Yanks really did...USED...to know how to make good sitcoms, like us Brits used seems to be the word nowadays! God, I feel sorry for my kid's, they'll never know the joy of watching Cheers, Roseanne, Golden Girls, Frasier, Home Improvement, two and half men and the list goes on!
In the 90's, there used to be Cheers bars in a lot of airports. I used to love hanging out in them and shooting the breeze with whoever was there. Good times. Now, you couldn't pay me to go through an airport.
When writers, directors, productions crew and actors come together for a project there's no telling if it will work. Sometimes it only takes one episode for the audience to know. This series had us at 'hello'.
Man o Man what a Show Cheer's Was? Although it's been Year's since I've even Seen a Rerun episode of it. I'M so Glad until Now 😃👍 that I didn't See that Last Show when it was Aired. IF I had of Seen it. Boy would it have Tore Me Up Big Time. Thank You for Sharing it.
I hope they don’t do a reunion, but if they do, I want them to do it only if the actors truly want to do it. I don’t want them to be going into it lukewarm, or or have to be talked into it. I’ve seen some reunions where the actors acted horribly, which resulted in the whole thing being an awkward disservice to the series itself.

It’s so fucked up…
I’ve been a bartender for 17 years. Never, did I think that the people I worked with and served, would become my favorite people I’ve ever met. I’ve never known love, grief, friendship, joy, and pain, like I have since it started this.
I thought I was wasting my life for a time, but I agree with Sam. I’m the luckiest SOB on earth. Those people made my life worth living.
It’s a wonderful life, ain’t it?
Regulars become family.
My dad owned a tavern for 41 years. Still bartends at the American legion. He is truly the luckiest SOB and to keep doing this for 55 years.
After 17 years you're a lifer. I retired after 35 years behind the bar. Great memories. Be sure to tuck a little back for retirement. It's nice to work part time when you want and be able to enjoy your life after all those nights, weekends, and holidays. 😊
The nod to Coach by leveling a photo he owned, is classic. The scene is a classic.
It was so sad seeing the bar close...but nothing lasts forever. Norm added plenty of comic relief, but also some wisdom:
"I don't think it matters what you love, Sammy. Could be a person, could be a thing...as long as you love it totally, completely, and without judgment."
Same picture. Same adjustment in the last episode of ''Ted Lasso''....Perfect homage to ''Cheers''

Same. I loved that era especially and Diane was such a classic nervous neurotic
one of the all-time great sitcoms. Top 5 in my book!
It *is.*
I agree.
What a show is right! And then we got Frasier, which in my opinion is the best show ever written
What a great ending..His one true love is Cheers.."Where everybody knows your name" and with that, this was the end of an era..I watched this show because my uncle watched it..I was 12 years old when it aired and 23 when it ended but watching now I love it and Frasier..True gems in television history..

When Radar announces Henry’s plane being shot down and Sam straightening Coach’s Geronimo picture, two all time great scenes.
You read my mind. 👍🏻😎
You nailed it!

one of those shows that put all your family in the same room.
And now you sit around your 6 foot wide television set watching anything you want from the last fifty years. I'm not picking, but you know you can. 😀

This was, without a doubt, the best finale I ever watched.
PICARD (3/9,10)
your welcome (if your a trek fan)
This will always bring tears to my eyes. What a show it was! I miss the '90s. RIP Nicholas Colasanto. 😢
If I ever had to do the 90s again I would. Miss it everyday of my life. Cheers was a fabulous show.
I also feel a tear and a laughter watching this clip. Sam, Norm, Carla, Woody, Cliff, Coach and Diane feel like family. I tuned in every week to watch and laugh...to see my TV family get into and out of trouble. Now I catch reruns from time to time and they always make me laugh. Cheers is a timeless classic that I will treasure forever. The Thanksgiving food fight...little Fredrick yelling "Norm"....the hairy man tour...Diane jumping off the boat...and a thousand other misadventures make every episode an enjoyable journey.
Yeah by far my favorite show. Seinfeld was my 2nd favorite in the 90s. I was in high school in the 80s....85 graduate to be exact. I'm fixing to turn 56 in Sept 2023. This show and song always brings me back whenever I watch reruns are hear the song. Man I miss them days !! Loved the 80s. They had alot of good shows back in the 80s and even the 90s ! Good good times.
Loved watching this as a kid, even though I didn't understand everything, with english not being my first language. Honestly, they truly succeeded in making that filmset feel like a real place, and even more impressively, they kind of broke down the fourth wall so it felt like you were there in the bar. Like a content, safe fly on the wall. Very homely.
I wanna watch this show again now, and understand everything they say. I don't even think I'm gonna be disappointed at all.
More or less, that's how I experienced it too. I was just a kid, trying to grasp what all these scenes were all about. I enjoyed the whole thing, even though I didn't fully understand everything.
You're right, the setting is so cozy, it makes you feel at home. That's a subtle part of the drama itself.
I love the description of how you consumed it. Best wishes in watching it anew.
FRAZER sucked so bad didi bad bad.
What a great show. Well written, and one of the all time classic sitcoms. Loved every one of the characters. I think that was a portrait of Geronimo in the frame that Sam straightened.
Yes it is Geronimo
Don't say GERONIMO to that dog... ifkyk
Greatest show ever. The end was bitter sweet. Im so thankful they didn’t poop the bed like most shows do.
goosebumps. misty eyes. the final scene with Norm and Sam is priceless.
Have a hard time watching this....the very last scene makes me wanna bawl....can't believe it's been more than 30 years since it ended. Time goes by too fast.
the shot of Sam adjusting the photo is what gets to me
reddit
was coaches favorite picture irl was a nod to his passing
The art of communicating a subtle message through that scene is just awesome
Hope you’re ok
Just caught this episode today. Great episode. It's all about the shoes...the walk of life is a journey.
A very significant episode
@@lexkanyima2195 yes it is
Always going back to footwear 🤣
Funny thing when you watch popular shows from generations before your own: even though it's a product of a different time, you find the appeal it had to those who were the grown-ups before you.
I was just a little kid (not even double digits yet) when Cheers ended. My folks were big fans of it, though. Now, decades later and having watched through it myself, I see the poignancy in this ending. It really was like saying goodbye to a friend.
I hope generations to come find this series and appreciate it as well.
Well-explained
My dad was always watching All in the Family and laughing. I always sided with Mike. Now I'm in my '70s and find myself laughing at the same things my dad was probably laughing at.
I have yet not get emotional when I watch this ending. And, every time Sam adjust the picture, I am done. This was not just a part of my childhood (just like many family memories are), this was my childhood.
My late brother and I would get together every Thursday night for Cheers and Hill Street Blues. Good times and great shows, they don't make TV like that anymore.
Bob Broder, agent for the show's creators, also made an uncredited appearance in the final moments of the show as the man who is told by Sam that the bar is closed. Growing up I had so many incredible TV shows. These days we get maybe one episode a year as good as these shows were. The Cheers theme will forever be sung in my house. Forever.
Hearing that opening song takes me back to being an 80’s kid.
Was a young adult in 92 and saying goodbye this this show broke my heart.
I was a senior in high school. I stayed home the next day after watching this episode. It broke my heart. There have only been 2 shows that the final episode caught me between a tear and a smile; the other was MASH, but the latter didn’t happen until 2 decades after that show ended, when I too was serving in Korea.
Incredible show that proceeded to vicariously live on for another 11 years through FRASIER.
Not really.
@@pgronemeier not at all...
@@josephfootball8446 I know. But I was trying to be nice.🤣
@@pgronemeier 🤣 You are nicer than me...I was gonna say they took the worst part an made it last 11 more years
@@josephfootball8446 wrong! Frasier the sitcom won numerous awards and was one of the best shows of the 90’s. Nothing to do with Cheers is correct
I absolutely loved this show as a teen in the 80s. It showed how people from all walks of life have just one or two simple things they wan to achieve. We're all much more alike than we are different and shows like this showed us that.
This show has a special place in my heart. I graduated high school in 1994 and throughout my high school years I remember my dad and I watching the 10pm news and then Cheers every Monday thru Friday!! ❤❤
Same here, I watched last episode with my dad and split a 12 pack with him. 1994 grad as well.😁
this SITCOM is sooo calming and relaxing to watch. it takes you home.
Best description yet about this show. It really evokes a comfort and warmth feeling. When I die I hope to visit this place.
Thursdays were such a great lineup. The Cosby Show, Family Ties, Cheers, Night Court... when Hill Street Blues music plays, it was time for bed. Older folks stayed up to see Johnny Carson's Tonight Show then Letterman's Late Night.
Makes me want to build a media server to show these shows with random vintage commercials thrown in.
Yes, you speak to my childhood!
NBC had many great shows over the years. Their Thursdays were something special according to those who lived it.
I was 16 when this came on. In those days at 16 (uk) we stayed in. That music has so many happy memories of my brother and I sitting and watching. I wish he was here now so I can say hey let’s watch cheers. Thankyou actors, directors, producers Thankyou
How fitting that the final word, in the final scene of a tv show about a bar would be "closed."
There is something comforting for me watching cheers, it reminds me of watching this with my family on a Friday night on channel 4.
Back in the 80s with only 4 UK TV channels.
I visited the real Cheers some years ago in Boston.
I even ate at the restaurant up stars the place was packed and they had a little shop and episodes playing.
Sooo cool!
Love cheers, grew up watching it and it's even better now that I'm an adult
I had duty the night of the last show of cheers. Nobody was really talking. During this scene we were silent. I still watch it on DVD'S. Still gets my attention just like mash did
I remember watching this with a glass of brandy in one hand and a cigar in the other and when they all walked over with brandy and cigars I felt I was right there with them!..unforgettable.
i muss always cry, about the talking of them, about friendship. and the end was like the beginningscene.if the series is over, i must start again. cheers forever1
My favorite sitcom of all time.
When Norm says "you can never be unfaithful to your one true love," I'm reminded of that scene where Sam and Diane almost got married, but she wanted to go work doing something she loved on the other side of the country, and promising to return in six months to marry then. Sam realized in that moment that as much as they could get on and make something together, they'd both always be distracted by another great love; for her, writing, for him, the bar. So, because he does love her, he decides to let her go, knowing that she probably wouldn't return, or if she did, she wouldn't be truly happy. He parts with her with kindness and caring, saying "have a good life." I find it astonishing for some reason.
Norm taps the door!!!!
I never noticed that before, so damned deep
Sam's true love is the bar if you didn't work it out
Norm tapped the door lock so it would lock behind him.
Hey man, how about a spoiler tag!
I was living down the street on Beacon St (same street as Bull Finch Pub - aka Cheers bar) finishing my last semester in college when they filmed an outside scene for the last episode. I recall a big crowd watching and I think one of the characters was standing on the outside of the building for some reason. Not a very detailed story, I know, but just a recollection from over 30 years ago of a show I loved and was sad to see go. Just glad I saw that tiny piece of history on Beacon St. in 1992.
One of the most emotional episodes of all time in the 33 years that I have been watching Television one of my favorite sitcoms of all time cheers this show had a huge impact on me growing up
Friday nights on Channel 4 in the 80s made memorable by Cheers.......
Great show, still miss this show alot. I wish repeats of this show comes back on. I will watch them for sure. The ending was great.
The greatest final of any series! Cheers set the bar that no other may pass!

Breaking Bad ending was pretty epic
@@ModeratelyAmused Bryan and Aaron might be on "Sunny" soon.
@@ModeratelyAmused Cheers was still better
Oh, c'mon. I hear the finale to the Soprano's was great. Everyone loved it.
I grew up watching Cheers. I still watch the reruns. 😢
As a bartender nothing makes my job more enjoyable than having a bunch of my regular customers show up and we just chit chat away about everything under and above the sun. To the point I’ll go up on a night off to hang around and have a drink with.
Today marks 30 years of the Cheers finale
Can you believe it?
Wow! I felt like I was just a kid yesterday😂
Holy shit.
I just heard this bar is up for auction. Cheers was one of my family's favorite shows as a kid, the favorite. I got to go see the Cheers bar in Boston, then in 2000 when I moved to L.A. I got to visit the actual set! It's one of those things I'm so glad I did.
There used to be a Cheers bar in London in Mayfair. I went to it once or twice while traveling for business. It was kind of odd and all the TVs were showing some episode of Cheers.
I went to college in Boston when the show started. Great memories! I believe the bar was based off a place called Bull & Finch, located in Boston with steps going down from street level. The Cheers bars were knock offs to the actual one but very successful nevertheless.
I loved this show, always watched it after school when I was younger. I cried when it was over 😢
I remember this show my mom and dad watched it.. every Night that it was on, from the 80's all the way to the end all 12 years that they were on the air. My mom loved this show, and I remember that she cried during the "Last Call" Lets bring Cheers back for one Final Run!.....
This brought back a lot of good memories when America was sane! There comes a time when all good men & women must come to the aid there country. The decline of our country is happening
to fast.
So well said ..
Nobody has watched Ted danson More than me for over 30 years one of the greatest actors of all time
What a great show and cast
Norm locked the door as he was going out.
Ive seen this show 3 times already and thinking of doing again. I cant get enough of it. I Love this show.
Sam never did appreciate what he had but rare moments. He had a cash cow business that basically he didnt even know he bought until he sobered up, that did well enough to support his lifestyle. Not to mention a staff that looked out for him and wouldn't rip him off. Nice house in Boston, Vette, trips up the coast of Maine every other weekend with some hotty. That's not cheap. Just not owning the bar would cut his dating pool down a lot alone being he would have no reason to go into bars (meeting place back then, lol) being a recovering alcoholic. Cheers provided everything for him.
God I loved Cheers! It was my favorite sitcom growing up. I loved everything about it. I hated when it ended
Hard to believe it was so long ago, it seems like only yesterday.
Life is short my friend
Great. Now I’m crying. Thanks.
Absolutely loved Cheers and have the DVD set to re-watch anytime and that time is soon.
As a kid I had a friend send me a copy of this episode on vhs since I grew up without tv. I remember Carla was featured on WAAF 107.3 in Boston that day talking about the show. Grateful to have seen it then.
Thus ends one of the great sitcoms of all-time.
My favorite episode is the one where everyone is teaching Woody economics by cheating at Monopoly. Loved it.
20th C and 1990s Friday at work when all we had to worry about was what NBCs Thursday night "Must See TV" lineup had for plotlines the night before.
When 40% of the entire country watched those shows every Thursday evening.
If a child was born on the day that Frasier Crane made his debut on Cheers, that child would be entering their senior year in college when Frasier Crane landed in Chicago at the finale of "Frasier".
Cheers came on when I was 12. I watched almost every episode until 1993 when it ended. 30 yrs ago, wow!!!!
As a teenager I couldn't comprehend the talent of Woody Harrelson.
Yes, not until you saw him in other roles and realized just how much he was acting.
@@HereComeMrCee-Jay Yup.
I remember when I was a kid staying up late to watch but usually the theme song meant bedtime….miss it
My favorite show of all time.
You Yanks really did...USED...to know how to make good sitcoms, like us Brits used seems to be the word nowadays! God, I feel sorry for my kid's, they'll never know the joy of watching Cheers, Roseanne, Golden Girls, Frasier, Home Improvement, two and half men and the list goes on!
one of the ALL TIME GREATEST sitcoms!!! we need more shows like this today... i went to the bar in Boston, it was a cool experience!
MASH 72 to 83 CHEERS 82 to 93. Nice couple of decades for TV there.
The Golden Era of American sitcoms. Only a handful I'd place on that list between then and now.... Seinfeld, The Office, Friends, Parks and Rec.
@@TD_JR All, except MASH, were on NBC
@@RudieObias Must See TV
In the 90's, there used to be Cheers bars in a lot of airports. I used to love hanging out in them and shooting the breeze with whoever was there. Good times. Now, you couldn't pay me to go through an airport.
Happy 30th anniversary cheerse that’s why I watched this
Thursday night network TV. Night Court, Cheers and Hill Street Blues. Never better!
It's not where the time went, it's where that world went, but thank heaven we lived in it.
When writers, directors, productions crew and actors come together for a project there's no telling if it will work. Sometimes it only takes one episode for the audience to know. This series had us at 'hello'.
May 20, 1993 i can't put into words this next one from cheers season 11 finale one for the road one of the most emotional episodes of all time
Man o Man what a Show Cheer's Was? Although it's been Year's since I've even Seen a Rerun episode of it.
I'M so Glad until Now 😃👍 that I didn't See that Last Show when it was Aired. IF I had of Seen it. Boy would it have Tore Me Up Big Time.
Thank You for Sharing it.
U remember watching this 30 years ago and crying and it happened again watching this
30 years ago..wow where did that time go?
please please, a Cheers reunion, one of my favorite shows as a kid
I hope they don’t do a reunion, but if they do, I want them to do it only if the actors truly want to do it. I don’t want them to be going into it lukewarm, or or have to be talked into it. I’ve seen some reunions where the actors acted horribly, which resulted in the whole thing being an awkward disservice to the series itself.
@@acp865 the friends reunion was pathetic, good point.
Nah, Rebecca is now gone. Even though I was Team Diane it still wouldn't be the same.
@@SamElliottsStache true , she was awesome, but perhaps they could make it about Rebecca's funeral, a reason to get together.
The guy knocking on the door should have been the actor who played the kid in the opening scene of the show
Great show, Great characters …….Still missed!
