Daddy's Home by Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein for September 15, 2012

I only remember “Cheers” by means of its theme song; was too young to remember an episode.

Favorite Cheers character? CLICKto Get a Daddy’s Home of Your OwnCLICKfor DH on Pinterest

Definitely Cliff. I thought he was hilarious.

NORM!!!

NORMAN OF COURSE! And Coach before he passed away.

Eddie LaBec, or Gary from Gary’s Old Town Tavern.

without a doubt the best sitcom ever made

I always identified with Diane and usually had lunch at the Irish Village near my main workplace once or twice a week, eating at the bar as most of the lunch crowd did. I was working as an engineer and there were a mailman, a quarrelsome couple and many other characters (including one guy who wanted to pick off of the plates of others). The bartender at the time was a very boisterous Irish woman (rather like the “good” waitress that Diane once picked for Cheers). They had a great small luncheon filet mignon and fresh carrot cake muffins and a good house salad with great blue cheese dressing. I would have all that and a couple of martinis (back when you could do that) and continue on to work -usually at a different plant to not account for the time. Just like Cliff, it seems the mailman as well as the others were there whenever I had my lunch (not always same time).

Now the new shows I watch on upstairs TV are still Simpsons, Daddy’s Home, The Exes, etc. but I still have some Cheers filling the gaps.

Never liked Rebecca Howe either, but I loved Coach and Carla- all the old gang.

Not one person mentioned Sam “May Day” Malone.

My sister works in hollywood and told me that while filming “Cheers”, the actors drank real alcohol during takes :)
