re: Is Cheers the best sitcom of all time?

Well this thread proved you can't question the popular opinion.
I don't think OP was trying to troll - and yet, even when some agree but still praise Seinfeld...
It's as if you say Seinfeld is sort of overrated...everyone goes apeshite.
There's a legitimate argument Cheers is the best sit-com ever for all the reasons the OP stated.
I don't know if it is the best...but is the most well-rounded with all the characters and storylines.
Seinfeld (as great as it was) felt like one episode was the same note after another...
No surprise they finished with the argument over the button on the shirt...that was Seinfeld...a limited writer show - who have a specific idea over and over and over again.
I love the show but this idea that you can't critique it or love some other show is preposterous.

so because they repeated one idea in 9 seasons that means it was a limited writer show? Posted on 10/1/14 at 9:08 pm to Melvin
Oh shite...get over it.
It's called a metaphor.
And by limited writer...I mean a specific comedy with specific comedians.

It's a comedy that made people laugh. There's a reason it's the most syndicated show in history. Seems like you need to get over it champ.

Seinfeld is best. MASH is 2.

Seinfeld and Cheers are 1 and 1A for me
I enjoy them both for different reasons

Fawlty Towers ftw
Posted on 10/1/14 at 10:10 pm to TigerRad
Fawlty Towers is a Top 10 all-time worldwide show.
I love Black Adder but that's outside the Top 10.

All of the following are better than Cheers, in my opinion:
- Seinfeld
- Scrubs
- Friends
- Modern Family
- Parks and Rec
- 30 Rock
- The Office (US version, b/4 Michael Scott left)

You honestly can't be taken seriously ever again.

No shite...me too. Like I posted many times before...it's in my top 5.
But I appreciate the writing and fullness and complete show that was Cheers.
Cheers was a hard show to pull off in retrospect...and they did it and didn't rely on weirdness or apathy. Seinfeld had a certain limited tone.
I don't know why Seinfeld has become some show that can't be critiqued? All shows can be critiqued and Seinfeld had flaws like all others.

I loved Cheers.Cliff Klavin is one of the funniest characters of all time.

Cheers just feels more real. The characters are better. The Seinfeld characters are all over the top trying to be funny while the Cheers characters do it without it feeling forced.
Never seen mash, but it seems to get a lot of love.

Meh, that's an extreme generalization to say it was the same premise each show.
The show was about 4 neurotic, self-centered people navigating the minutiae of daily life that we all think about but don't really talk about, or at least didn't until then. That's why Seinfeld holds up so well -- almost every daily occurrence is some sort of reference to something they did.
