Is Cheers worth watching?

Sam's little black book was mind-boggling to me as a child.

He had a book with the phone numbers of hundreds of women and he'd just pick a page at random and phone them up for a date.

"Ok D. We've landed on D. Diane... Dahlia... Daphne... Dawn.... Dorothy. Yeah, Dorothy!"

Then he'd phone her up, ask her out, and she'd say yes!

I'm still not sure if this is something that actually exists. :unsure:
It does, I have one, but they're asian or if they're white, fat. It's really depressing tbhwya...

I feel like Roseanne is severely underrated. It was very well written with a talented cast (two beckys!), and it really was a realistic "poor person" sitcom. It went off into some strange territory in the later seasons

Season 5 has some real good, dry sarcastic jokes. That was the year Norm Macdonald was on the writing staff and it shows.

It began to slide downhill after it became overly-serialized. The premises became more dramatic, and Roseanne was just the comic relief. At first, the premises themselves were comedic, like "Roseanne and Dan find an old bag of weed", but then they drifted into "Dan struggles to accept his daughter's scumbag boyfriend". And it'd be a season-long story arc. I've always hated those dramatic sitcom moments, where the audience goes silent like some really heavy thing is going on. All In The Family did it a lot, and so did MASH.

The guy who played Carla's ex-husband on Cheers was my least favorite sitcom character ever. Man that guy was annoying.

All in the Family, MASH, and Roseanne were shows with Important Message that were more important than telling jokes. AitF was intended to be that from the start; MASH and Roseanne evolved that way due to the people who took over (MASH was meant to be frat boys in the army until Alan Alda got creative control). That was TV in the 70s until the early 90s when Seinfeld made that uncool.

It's ironic that Roseanne Barr was kicked off The Connors for her joke about Obama's people, because Roseanne was such an obnoxiously liberal and feminist show.

I don't even know how many times I've watched Frasier and every time I watch an episode of Cheers, I'm left unimpressed.

It's okay. People without addiction problems won't get many of the jokes. It IS dated but it's also bold.

hurrr durr i'm an addict, i see things differently than everyone else, I'm profound and deep on a level you guys wouldn't understand.

shutup, stupid.
