Cheers (1982-1993, NBC)
At Cheers, the Boston bar "where everybody knows your name," Bar owner Sam Malone (Ted Danson), a former Red Sox pitcher and an irascible womanizer, served up beers and traded one-liners with the regulars who gathered to drink, relax, and forget their troubles. Over the course of eleven seasons, Cheers earned 28 Emmy Awards and a then-record 117 nominations. The character of psychiatrist Frasier Crane, played by Kelsey Grammer, was featured in his own successful spin-off, Frasier, which also ran for eleven seasons and included guest appearances by most of the major Cheers characters.
