So many shows from the ’80s and ’90s are being shopped around as revival shows and Frasier is one of them. Before there was Frasier, there was Cheers, the show it was spun off of.
Yesterday, when Ted Danson was on Late Night, Seth Meyers asked him if he is interested in bringing Cheers back for a few more episodes. Sam Malone told him, “No!” Why? He said, “Well, it would be a bunch of people in their ’70s in a bar going, ‘What? What?’ A horse walked into a’ What?’ ‘A car.’ That’s not funny.” But he is up Cheers: The Old Age Home.
Danson also shared a little tidbit about bar sitcom. Before it was a huge hit, it once was 70th most-watched show of the week. Doesn’t sound bad? Considering there were only 70 shows airing at the time, it is miracle we got to know everybody’s name.
