Laid-back Sam Malone, a former relief pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, owns and runs Cheers, a cozy bar in Boston. He hires smart, uptight -- and jilted -- Diane Chambers as a server, out of sympathy, but their attraction causes constant bickering. Wacky characters fill the bar: sarcastic waitress Carla, beer-loving accountant Norm, know-it-all postman Cliff. When Diane leaves Boston much later, Sam sells the bar, buys a boat and sails the world, but his boat sinks, so he returns. New, ambitious manager Rebecca Howe hires him back, but they love to hate each other too.

Peter Canavese Groucho Reviews [Kirstie] Alley remains funny as a woman who always seems to find a new pathetic low, and [Ted] Danson shows not only leading-man star power but a limber genius for physical comedy. Rated: 3.5/4 Apr 21, 2020 Full Review Josh Mahler Bullz-Eye.com With some of the most focused writing and strong performances by an elite cast, it is unlikely that we will see another season of a comedy series so highly adorned ever again. Rated: 4/5 Apr 17, 2020 Full Review James Plath Movie Metropolis Season 9 may get a little soapy with Rebecca's on-and-off wedding, but the regulars at Cheers had a comeback for everything. And that kept viewers coming back. Rated: 8/10 Jan 19, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I've thoroughly enjoyed two sitcoms in my entire life, both before my "time" and this is one of them. Hilarious and fun. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review dave d Cheers writing staff got a bit lazy in season nine. They wrote less jokes and had more reaction shots and turned the characters into buffoons. It was still mostly funny despite losing a little bit of charm. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
