I want to start a new show on Netflix and see they have it.

Worth it to watch all 11 seasons? Does it get to a point where I should stop watching?

My favorite comedies are: Seinfeld, The Office, Parks and Rec and Arrested Development. Would I enjoy Cheers?

Thanks

You will enjoy Cheers unless you are very young, in which case, it might not be your brand of humor. It is a sitcom in the truest sense and very, very good at what it is supposed to be. A true classic.

At least give the first five or so episodes a shot.

I recently watched it all the way through and really enjoyed it.

I'm 28 and I enjoy all the same comedies you do.

About 2 or 3 years ago I tried the same endeavor, so run through Cheers all the way. I made it almost through the first season and just kinda gave up on it. I'm not trashing it, it just wasn't my cup of tea. To be fair though, I didn't have anyone to watch it with and didn't have netflix, so I had to watch it in my room on my laptop whenever I did watch it. Not really the best viewing conditions.

I am 25 and Cheers is one of my all time favorite shows. I binge watch it on Netflix.

Yes - it's sitcom - 25 minute commitment per episode.

You're either going to like Rebecca (Kirstie Alley when she was still reasonably good looking) or you aren't.

The show was like an old friend, after a while, but I watched the entire run in real time.

Didn't watch it while it was on NBC as I was out having fun. I caught it in syndication when they showed two episodes a night on Channel 11 in Dallas for years. Definitely worth the watch if you do something like that on Netflix.

Cheers never had a bad season. The # of great characters kept it fresh.

Was my absolute favorite show until Seinfeld. Some thought there was a drop-off after Diane left, but there are still some really funny episodes late in the run

You're my age and it was one of my favorite shows as a kid. I thought Sam was the man.

I love Cheers. It's dated for sure but really a classic sitcom.
