One of the best SNL skits ever. Maybe THE best!

The writing and humor back then was more subtle. More sophisticated. It was a better time
So true. That show was full of smart, witty jokes. Now, I watch a show and think that’s humor? It’s just a bunch of crude and crass sexual references that they pass off as comedy.
Man, losing Norm is a gut punch. Cheers premiered in 1983 and was the lowest rated show of the week. It almost didn’t make it. That was 42 years ago. Sigh…

My favorite Cheers line:
SAM: What can I getcha Norm?
NORM: Well, I'm gonna need something before my second beer
SAM: What about a first one?
As Norm enters the bar and after everyone shouts "NORM!"
Woody: "What's shakin' Mr. Peterson?"
Norm: "All four cheeks and a couple of chins, Woody, give me a beer."

It being early in the week one of the channels that shows classic tv shows will probably have a Cheers marathon this weekend..

One of the biggest TV non sequiturs I ever saw was an episode of one of those syndicated outdoor shows that had George Wendt on a multi day whitewater rafting trip in Idaho. Apparently a relative owned the rafting company and he was doing it to give his relative some publicity, but he was not having a good time.

Every Time Norm Enters Cheers
And for those who aren't sure what all this means, here is AI to explain it to you
RIP Norm. An all time favorite.

Norm's entrances to Cheers are famously marked by the bar regulars shouting "Norm!" and often a greeting like "Afternoon, everybody!" or "Evening, everybody!" according to Wikipedia. This is followed by a witty remark about his life and an order for a beer, according to YouTube.
Here's a more detailed look at Norm's iconic entrances:
The Greeting: Norm usually starts by saying "Afternoon, everybody!" or "Evening, everybody!".
The "Norm!" Shout: The bar crowd, including the bartenders, respond by shouting "Norm!".
Diane's "Norman": While most would yell "Norm!", Diane Chambers would add a more refined "Norman".
Sam's Inquiry: Sam, Coach, or Woody would then ask Norm how he's doing and what he wants, often addressing him as "Mr. Peterson".
Norm's Witty Reply: Norm usually responds with a funny remark about his day or some observation about his life.
The Beer Order: He always orders a beer, often with a touch of humor.
Norm's Entrances in Other Locations: The "Norm!" greeting is also seen in other places, including a bowling alley, a restaurant, and even Cheers' rival bar.
