@@scotthilliard7177 Neither did I! Here's his background, from Rhea's Wikipedia entry: Perlman was born in Coney Island, Brooklyn, the daughter of Philip Perlman (1919-2015), a Polish immigrant who was a manager at a doll parts factory and Adele (1922-2016), a bookkeeper.[4] She grew up in Bensonhurst in a Jewish family with additional roots in Russia.[5] She has a sister, Heide, who is a television writer, story editor, and producer who worked on Cheers, Frasier and The Tracey Ullman Show.[6] In the mid-1980s, their parents moved to Los Angeles, and their father became an extra on Cheers. His character became known by his real name, Phil, and he managed to get a few lines over the years as he appeared in more than 30 episodes. He created a second career as a character actor, appearing in several films and television shows, including Throw Momma from the Train, Hoffa, and Frasier.[4][6]
Grammer also played Frasier Crane on Wings for a single episode. So technically, Kelsey Grammer player the same character on three different TV shows... not sure that's ever been done before.
Binge-watching Cheers during lockdown and just saw this episode a few days ago. Little Freddy greeting Norm is one of the best things I've seen in the whole series. That and Frasier running around the bar with scissors. It's no wonder he got his own long-running series after this.
The best part is after he says Norm you can tell Bebe put him closer to her face, to cover up that she was laughing. The bit even melted the ice queen.😆
Oh my God, I have tears in my eyes! Today's sitcoms can only hope to be this funny! I really miss Cheers - just watched it again today, 12/17/20, and yep, still just as funny!
True test. Find a copy of a sitcom without the laugh track. If you can still muddy your drawers laughing without it.... It's still great. If not... well... e.g. I cut out the laugh track for M*A*S*H to save space on my HDD, I still watch it thru multiple times a year and still am riveted and keep standby knickers at the ready.

Nick HentschelAssuming he followed in his parents' footsteps, Frederick is old enough to have graduated medical school by now. He was born late in 1989, which would make him the right age to have received his degree with the class of 2015.
***** I'm way ahead of you, pal. I have this crazy vision of Freddy coming to the bar, out of money, and taking a job waiting tables . . . It all snowballs from there.
Nick Hentschel Another idea: Freddy comes to the bar every day while going to school in Boston, loses interest in medical school, graduates with a bachelor's degree in organic chemistry. Comes into work from his job at Cabot, everything is hum-drum until one day he has to throw a party for his supervisor. His supervisor attempts to sexually assault the barmaid, he comes to her rescue. After that, he gets fired and works as a short-run trucker. When he walks in they call him "FRED", followed by a soft, gentle, "Frederick."
@@jonathangarmuth8975 I will not lie, I have thought about writing for the Simpsons, but I have put that in my “most assuredly unstable” category. But if given the opportunity to write for a sitcom, I would jump on it like a chance to vote for Woody Boyd, he is one of us.
My pastor at church preached a sermon once. The subject? The theme song to Cheers. Sadly for work i had to move to another state. But that church lived up to the song.
I always thought the best Norm greeting was when Sam asked him how’s it going and Norm replied “It’s a dog eat dog world and I’m wearing Milk Bone underwear Sammy!”

The Cheers writers intentionally gave Frasier dull lines, because they liked to see how funny Kelsey Grammer could make them as he acted them out.
Once, at a USO, they were this chick flick that Lilith was in playing, and as soon as I recognized her, I was immediately pulled a, "Uh oh! Lilith!"

Norm: "Like it caught me in bed with its wife."
Haha! I'd forgotten about that one. :)
This will stand the test of time in comedy, pure gold, a complete classic.
Perfect title. Zero clickbait.
I miss Cheers.
Sam "hows the world treating you?" Norm "like a baby treats a dipper"
Best Norm greeting ever! I'll give the runner up prize to the whole Sam/Lillith exchange, along with bringing Phil into it. 2:07 worth of laughs better than anything on TV today.
Hey let's give Cliff some love for all his obscure trivia.

My favorite character on the show.
That’s a little known fact… 👌
Sam, Coach, Woody, & Carla offer Norm a beer at Cheers:
***What'll you have Normie?
Well, I'm in a gambling mood Sammy, I'll take a glass of whatever comes out of the tap.
Looks like beer Norm.
Call me Mister Lucky.
***What can I do for you, Norm?
Open up those beer taps and oh, take the day off, Sam.
***Hey, Mr. Peterson, Jack Frost nipping at your nose?
Yep, now let's get Joe Beer nipping at my liver.
***Hey Mr. Peterson, there's a cold one waiting for you.
I know. If she calls, I'm not here.
***What can I do for you, Norm?
Well, I am going to need something to kill time before my second beer. Uhhh, how about a first one?
***Hey, Mr. Peterson, you got room for a beer?
Nope, but I am willing to add on.
***Beer, Norm?
Have I gotten that predictable? Good.
***What's going on Mr. Peterson?
A flashing sign in my gut that says, 'Insert beer here.'
***Can I draw you a beer, Norm?
No, I know what they look like. Just pour me one.
***How about a beer, Norm?
Hey. I'm high on life, Coach. Of course, beer is my life.
***Pour you a beer, Mr. Peterson?"
Alright, but stop me at one...make that one-thirty.
***What do you say, Norm?
Any cheap, tawdry thing that'll get me a beer.
***How's a beer sound, Norm?
I dunno'. I usually finish them before they get a word in.
***What's doing, Norm?
Well, science is seeking a cure for thirst. I happen to he the guinea pig.
***Can I pour you a beer Mr. Peterson?
A little early isn't it, Woody?
For a beer?
No, for stupid questions.

-What's going on Mister Peterson?
-Lets talk about what's going IN Mister Peterson
Freddy Crane's probably old enough to drink by now: if he ever went back to "Cheers," he probably greeted Norm without realizing why.
Nick HentschelAssuming he followed in his parents' footsteps, Frederick is old enough to have graduated medical school by now. He was born late in 1989, which would make him the right age to have received his degree with the class of 2015.
***** Then he can have his graduation party at the bar!
Nick Hentschel What if Sam's retired? (In real life, Ted Danson is pushing 70.)
***** I'm way ahead of you, pal.
I have this crazy vision of Freddy coming to the bar, out of money, and taking a job waiting tables . . .
It all snowballs from there.
Nick Hentschel Another idea: Freddy comes to the bar every day while going to school in Boston, loses interest in medical school, graduates with a bachelor's degree in organic chemistry. Comes into work from his job at Cabot, everything is hum-drum until one day he has to throw a party for his supervisor. His supervisor attempts to sexually assault the barmaid, he comes to her rescue. After that, he gets fired and works as a short-run trucker. When he walks in they call him "FRED", followed by a soft, gentle, "Frederick."
“NORM!” Probably the best line ever.
Phil was actually
Carla's father is real life.
He often sat at the bar.
Phil was actually
Carla's father in real life.
He sat at the bar.
Fixed that haiku for you
Norm's face is awesome, hahaha!
Agreed that is the best part about that scene
Sage Of Earth : true, yet it was great the way everyone just stopped and their facial expressions were priceless .
"Norm"... the whole bar just stops
It just struck me that this must be the only bar
where no one smokes.
Well... Rebecca did burn the place down in one episode.
In Boston no less. Get me a pack a Marbs!
No, there are episodes where people are smoking in the bar
And I'm grateful
They used to show Phil smoking.
Woody- "What's going down Mr. Peterson?"
Norm- "My cheeks on that barstool."
I sure wish that I had that ability to give great one-liners like Norm does. I don’t think of any, until later in the day 😒.
Lilith is 100% the most under the radar funny character from Cheers
She would make a tremendous Mrs Dwight Shrute
If you like that show. I thought it was boring as hell. Kind of like British comedy.
I was thinking she was kind of a Sheldon Cooper before there was a Sheldon Cooper
Woody: What's Shaking Mr. Peterson
Norm: Both chins and all four cheeks
How's your day going Norm? Like it just caught me in bed with its wife.
😩😩😩🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
"Good afternoon everybody."
Twenty-five years later and it's still funny.
82 to 93 ... been a while :) Good show...
I loves Frazier face reaction when he said norm.
"How's the world treating you Mr. Peterson?"
"Like a baby treats a diaper."
I can count the number of times I laughed uncontrollably at a sitcom line on one hand. This Norm greeting was one of them.
I adore Lilith. She’s funny, stunning beautiful and has an amazing voice. I wish she’d have her own show.
She would say no in a heartbeat though
The sad thing is I am probably the only 16 year old who still watches this show.
Possibly. It's pretty dated if I'm honest, better shows out there (coincidentally, Frasier being one of them).
Do you plan on being a writer for a sitcom? I know alot of 16 year olds who idolize cheers writers 😉
@@jonathangarmuth8975 I will not lie, I have thought about writing for the Simpsons, but I have put that in my “most assuredly unstable” category. But if given the opportunity to write for a sitcom, I would jump on it like a chance to vote for Woody Boyd, he is one of us.
I’m 17 and watch this
"Do you make a drink for failures?"
"What are you drinking, Phil?"
"Manhattan."
"I'll make you a Manhattan." 😀
😆🤣😂😹😆
NORM !!
MIZORAM - Mafaka Hnamte *HE SAID MOMMY*
1:43
Lilith:” he’ll never learn to speak in this environment “.
Norm:”afternoon everybody”.
Baby Fredrick:”Norm”. 😂
The writers were awesome.
My pastor at church preached a sermon once. The subject?
The theme song to Cheers.
Sadly for work i had to move to another state. But that church lived up to the song.
One of the best shows ever.
It was the best show ever.
Yes, this is the best Norm gretting.
I remember the first time I saw this, I almost choked on my drink from laughing so hard.
I wasn't expecting that, and didn't expect Lilith's reaction, and Frasier's after that. Perfect writing there.
I always thought the best Norm greeting was when Sam asked him how’s it going and Norm replied “It’s a dog eat dog world and I’m wearing Milk Bone underwear Sammy!”
How's life Mr. Peterson? It's a dog eat dog world and I'm wearing milkbone underwear.
One of the all time great shows. Most of the stuff today is weird and unfunny by comparison.
I couldn't agree more!
the Joys of ellen degeneres comedy .. boring and unfunny ...
How come none of the others said Norm?!
princeicio Y2K
That would have ruined the joke.
+princeicio Frederick beat them to it. ;)
Little Fredrick beat them to it. 😀😀😀😀
Freddy beat them all to it lol
She was Sheldon before Sheldon.
One of the funniest moments of the whole show. But there are just too many to choose from. Cheers will always be one of the all time great shows
Hey Norm how's the world treatin' ya?
Norm: Like a baby treats a diaper.
Awesome, totally awesome. Norm would definetely say that
Like a dog treats a fire hydrant.
The delivery of the Manhattan joke is A+
This video is 9 years old, and I haven't thought of Cheers in ages - interesting algorithm RUclips!
It’s a female Sheldon!
Beat Cliff at darts! LOL
Do you knows that a player can throw a maximum of 3 darts per turn and if a dart misses the board, it can fall to the floor and land point down first? 🎯
"Phil" was played by Philip Perlman. Rhea's father.
To the parents out there, how would you feel if this was your baby's first word?
Now that was classic
The was awesome! Lmao. Baby says Norm. What writing.
i cant be the only one that scouts out NORM!!! when he enters
Why would you scout him out? He should be right by the door since he just came in, right?
@@Soxruleyanksdrool ...... Shout*.... Mb haha
Cheers, mate.
The comedy in this show was pure genius. IMHO nothing today can touch this or other sitcoms of the time.
Funniest one word line in tv history
Never before has a baby's first words shocked the world
