These two, along with The Cosby Show, are my favorite sitcoms. Fraiser Crane is my favorite sitcom character of all time. I cannot, however, decide which show I prefer the most. I recently 2 months ago) began watching them from the beginning. I am currently on season 4 of both

What say you?

I'm a Cheers person, but I like Frasier a lot.

Cheers seems like a show that could premiere today and still make people laugh.

While I like Frasier, it has not aged well and today would look no different than the garbage that CBS has been selling for decades.

I say Cheers

Liked them both, but don't see how it's up for debate.

Frasier relied on tightly wound plots and rapid fire dialogue, and came across as heavy handed at times. Cheers made it look easy.

Cheers or me.

Cheers is the answer, but Frazier was a really good show.

Frasier, only because Cheers was nearly over by the time I started watching it.

I know that the overwhelming answer for "better show" will be Cheers, but I personally frasier by a mile. I never really got into cheers much, but I love frasier.

Cheers by a country mile...watched a rerun last night. The one where Carla told Dianne a "secret" that Sam was the father of one of her kids to see if Dianne could keep a secret...of course she couldn't.

Woody, "How's it going Mr. Peterson?"
Norm, "It's a dog eat dog world, Woody & I'm wearing Milk Bone underwear."


Having been born in '70, my top sitcoms of all-time are Happy Days, Cheers, Wonder Years, Seinfeld & How I Met Your Mother...Frasier was good, but not in my top 10.

I prefer Frasier more than Cheers. It's close though. I loved Cheers a lot. I think I just like Frasier much more as the main character than Sam.

I almost could have started this thread and written the OP.

Tough call - each show had their moments, as well as really strong casts. I'm more of an intellectual, so I enjoy the earlier seasons of Frasier more than I do the later seasons of Cheers. In the end, though, too close to call for me.

When it was at its best, Frasier was probably better. However, Cheers was just a little more consistent until the very end - I thought each show stayed about a season, season and a half too long.

Frasier. I like Cheers, but I roll with laughter when I watch Frasier.

Cheers only slightly but Frasier is the GOAT spin off series.
