What was funny about Cheers?

I guess you'll never know.

Also, great portrayal of Boston audiences.

Fans loved it because it was all about the nostalgia they felt for a time when they had a functioning liver.

This is season 10, so it really wasn't that funny anymore in general, but yeah, dead-on portrayal of Boston audiences.

Cheers was funny because it had a great ensemble cast and they played really well against each other. Basically, it was a show that ran on great character-based humor, a rare beast indeed. There are like two shows on television that still do this. Not that there were any more back then.

(It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Parks and Recreation, in case you were wondering.)

Wow, someone else who likes "Parks and Recreation" (or, as I call it, "The Office if Everyone Weren't Retarded").

"Cheers" was actually two shows in one. The 80s had lots of shows with male and female leads doing the flirty love/hate thing, and that's what drove "Cheers" for the first couple seasons, while the secondary characters slowly came into their own. After that the show relied more and more on the character-driven humor, and once Diane left, the show went 100% character-driven.

It was the 80s. The lightest cell phone weighed 20 pounds, and Cheers was the funniest sitcom.

He was pretty brave for not making an airline food joke.

If I remember right from seeing this back in 5th grade, he made one earlier in the episode.

What's up with that!

Still funnier than Carlos Mencia

TFL Cliff.

How did I not star this yet? This is most stand up comedy.

What's up with that?
