About
As of 2026, it's 44 years old.
Cheers spent eleven seasons in a single Boston bar 'where everybody knows your name,' and that warm, slightly boozy premise became one of the greatest sitcoms ever made. A washed-up ballplayer, a brainy waitress, and a barful of regulars turned witty banter into an art form and made you wish you had a corner stool there too.
It nearly got cancelled in its first season for low ratings, then grew into a juggernaut and spawned Frasier, one of the rare spinoffs as beloved as its parent.
Sharp, cozy, and impeccably written, Cheers is the show that proved you can build a classic out of nothing but a good bar and great conversation.
