Cheers, Norm
Only just heard that actor George Wendt died peacefully in his sleep yesterday. Appearing in every episode of Cheers as everyone’s favourite bar fly (and later with co-star Kelsey Grammer in Frasier) . He was clearly s popular off stage as on according to the flood of well wishes and condolences his family has received from his former co-stars. RIP

Re: Cheers, Norm
Loved that show and he was a major reason why it felt lovely when you watched it.
I always wanted to pop in for a beer with Norm.

Re: Cheers, Norm
Never really watched Cheers. Correcting that tonight. Looks like it will take a while

Re: Cheers, Norm
Sign of the times that cheers finished, being based in a bar, and friends started, being based in a coffee house!

Re: Cheers, Norm
I first visited Boston getting on 30 years ago. Visited the "Cheers" bar - really just the steps leading down to the entrance door - for a beer. Bought the Cheers t-shirt "where everyone knows your name." Stayed in Boston a couple more times in the years since, always call at the "Cheers" bar.burnley007 wrote: ↑Thu May 22, 2025 6:10 pmLoved that show and he was a major reason why it felt lovely when you watched it.

Re: Cheers, Norm
Logged in just to "like" that pictorial. Brilliant.
One of the best programmes ever to appear on the TV. As alluded to
earlier, I always felt comfortable and cosy watching it - somehow felt
to be part of the customers. Great, great storylines,
clever humour and above all, brilliant characters.
May look a little dated if re-run now, but I would love to be able to find out..
Thanks for the good times "Norm"
RIP

It's on Paramount+ - very good quality because it was all filmed on "film" so it looks great. I've been through it a couple of times in the last few years.Funkydrummer wrote: ↑Thu May 22, 2025 10:30 pmLogged in just to "like" that pictorial. Brilliant.![]()

Second this. The humour hasnt dated. The performances havent dated. It really is a great show.tarkys_ears wrote: ↑Thu May 22, 2025 11:23 pmIt's on Paramount+ - very good quality because it was all filmed on "film" so it looks great. I've been through it a couple of times in the last few years.
This then Frasier equals months of quality television.
When I watch it, it just feels like you're watching actual people. You are watching Norm. And he is funny and a nice guy.
Sad day

Re: Cheers, Norm
Cheers has been re-running for a while now on Channel 4 in the Mornings , 4 back to back episodes from about 6.30 till 8am.
