This.

I remember watching Cheers growing up, but don't remember specifics like what seasons were better than others. I do know that I remember a lot more of the show without Coach than with him though. And I absolutely LOVED Woody...thought he was always hilarious.

I've caught reruns here and there over the years, and every single time I catch a show, it still cracks me up. What's great about a show like Cheers is that the writing is SO fricking good. Things were funny because they were just inherently funny, not because it was referential or social commentary of popular things at the time. Things that Cliff and Norm say back in the 1980s are just as funny and relevant now as they were then. Seems like a lot of what's funny these days has everything to do with social commentary of what's popular right now and a lot of it is referential humor, whereas Cheers is just plain good/funny.

It's amazing to me watching reruns now just how well the show holds up today.

Norm is my favorite so far. Very quick witted and has some great one liners. I like Sam a lot, seems like a good dude. Cliff hasn't really had many lines yet honestly, I think he's only said a few sentences. Diane is cool and seems like a nice down to earth character. Carla is so off the wall I don't know what to think of her yet. I understand that's her character and the role she's supposed to play, but it can be a bit much at times. I still like her though. I don't dislike any of the characters, except the people I'm supposed to so far (fat loudmouthed yankees fan, sam's newsreporter buddy that abandons him, etc).
