Favorite Cheers character? - Blu-ray Forum

Where everybody knows your name...

I see we remembered to include Coach.

(Considering that here's a show that replaced major characters twice, and never jumped the shark.)

Although I also have respect for Sam, as one of the few good male role models on TV, back before the 90's when males were allowed to have good role models:
Yes, he's a goofball, but they counteracted that by hiring the perpetually-angry Ted Danson, and the mix gave us a goofball with strong convictions--He's master of his own small-business domain, has real friendships with the bar regulars, and openly objects to being played or manipulated by Diane's snooty posturings. He's an ex-Red Sox who doesn't know much, but sticks to what he DOES know.

I've been watching this on Amazon Prime. Only a few episodes into the first season, but from those few and from what I remember as a kid, it's definitely Norm!

Sam.

His love for his corvette set him above the others.

BizCat · 01-03-2019, 05:39 PM

Frasier!

I'm enjoy this show Cheers and it's so funny comedy sitcom and I like all of Cheers characters and Sam Malone (Ted Danson) is my vote!

I always liked Ted Danson as Sam, and I still remember sitting down with my folks in 1993, to watch the final episode of Cheers. I heard later on that millions had tuned their TVs onto that station just for that broadcast, which blew my young mind to pieces.
