Just slurping Coffee and watching the hilarious Frasier.
Woody Harrelson has come in from out of town and has just turned up for a beer. With Frasier I mean!
They keep talking about Cheers, their old bar back in Boston. Its their old TV show as well.
Now I sort of recall Cheers on TV decades ago. Seems like another life.
Ted Danson was the rising star I remember and he had an on-off thing going with a girl there. Whatever happened to him?
A moustached barfly with a monotone voice sat at the counter too. He went on to do Coors beers TV ads I think. No idea what his name was. For some reason I'm thinking Toy Story.
I should remember Cheers. It was a big deal on TV in the 80's.
I doubt very much there was any merchandise. Does anyone know?
Do you remember Cheers?
Just seen it too! Ted Danson does one of the ridiculous amount of TV detective series, NCI something or other. The moustachioed postman voices Hamm the pig in toy story and also a lot of other Pixar movies.Frasier is one of my favourite sitcoms, really understated and drily funny. Between that and Will and Grace, takes me ages to get ready for work in the morning!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean Bill. Frasier is the best thing about morning TV these days. Everybody Loves Raymond is good but comes a definite second. I used to watch Will and Grace but find it too hectic now. I used to watch a US sitcom called Just Shoot Me as well about an Ad agency i think with William Baldwin as the big boss.
DeleteYep,Cheers was a popular show when I was a teen.Cheers was based on a real bar/tourist attraction in Boston and I knew people who visited it and brought back beer mugs,so I guess that counts as merchandise.John Ratzenberger is the name of the actor who played Cliff Claven, the droning regular guy at the bar.Mr Ratzenberger,along with his buddy Norm(George Wendt) actually have some horror/sci fi movie credits under their belts,a far cry from the droll humor of Cheers!
ReplyDeleteGreat Cliff Claven connections Brian. Thanks for the pics. Posted on the blog as we speak.
