Cheers

You really have to put yourself into a different mindset to watch these older shows. A movie from the early 80s doesn't feel that removed from a movie from, say, the 90s or even early 00s, but a TV sitcom from the early 80s just feels primordial, like watching a movie from the 1930s or something. All this to say that I have a ton of respect for Cheers and its eternal bottle episode vibe - TV episodes as lighthearted character-driven short plays, essentially - but I almost never laugh at it.

Well written with solid characters. One of the better US 80's sitcoms.

One of the better sitcoms to come out of the 80's it featured a talented cast who became their roles in many ways. It missed sometimes and delved into standard fare a lot, but there were moments in the series that were truly touching and human.

One of the only situation comedies I can think of--at least from this general time period--that was consistently funny.

It's a good sitcom, but i stopped watching in season 2 when the immorality became too much.

Seasons 1-5

Good show. Every character on this show was likeable. Especially Norm who relates to everyone because he drinks beer and is depressed all the time. I recorded every Norm... How's life treating you. He give the funniest answers like a baby treats a diaper.

Compared with its peers, it's absolutely a masterpiece. It's definitely dated now but still holds a special place. Although it's a true ensemble show, it really stands on the strength of a few of the characters--mainly Sam, Norm, and Cliff.

One of the very best sitcoms, keeping an impressive quality throughout its 11 year run.
