Cheers

Cheers is an acclaimed American sitcom that aired for 11 seasons, from 1982 to 1993. Created by James Burrows, Glen Charles, and Les Charles, it was produced by Charles/Burrows/Charles Productions along with Paramount Network Television for NBC. Set in a Boston bar named Cheers, the series follows a community of patrons who gather for drinks, camaraderie, and lighthearted interactions. Its catchy theme song, crafted by Gary Portnoy and Judy Hart Angelo, is immortalized by the iconic line, “Where Everybody Knows Your Name.”

Although Cheers struggled in ratings initially after its September 30, 1982 debut, it later soared to become one of the top-rated shows in the United States, landing in the top ten during 8 of its 11 seasons and even capturing the #1 spot for one season. Dominating NBC’s Thursday night “Must See TV” block, the beloved series concluded on May 20, 1993, with its finale attracting a massive audience. Boasting 275 episodes, Cheers continues to enjoy global syndication and was nominated for Outstanding Comedy Series for each of its 11 seasons, capturing a remarkable 28 Emmy Awards from a then-record 117 nominations. The character Frasier Crane inspired a successful spin-off, Frasier, featuring guest appearances from the original Cheers cast until 2004. Ready to dive into where everybody knows your name?
