Best CHEERS character

every character in this is so great, its so hard to choose. rebecca was a little off-message her first season or two, but the whole robin colcord subplot is gravy - the episode with her getting drunk the night before the wedding and trying to seduce sam is all time.

but it's gotta be woody, i guess.

Rebecca: "Woody, have you ever had your whole life cave in on you all of a sudden?"
Woody: "No, but I have had a cave cave in on me."

this is totally my favourite sitcom of all time btw.

Cosby Show would easily be in my top ten, too.

Timely:

hey, i know the guy who made that

Charles, Burrows or Charles?

some doof on a movie forum was talking about how he'd rather watch 4 episodes of cheers than any given movie, so someone responded with that

i keep missing threads!

i think i'll vote carla

voted norm just you mention Cheers and the first thing i think of is "NORM!"

are there any episodes where at least several of the characters are all visibly hammered?

Lilith, because she is smoking hot.

I always thought Norm was short until I met him on the set of Space Truckers. George Wendt was like 6'1 or more.

I'd also really though Dennis Hopper was around my height until i met him on that film & found out he was 5'6 or something.
Think I'm slightly short of 6ft.

& funny that John Ratzenberger was always an action film hero actor/bit part player until he did this and was a postman who lived at home with his mother. You see him among the marines in A Bridge Too Far and stuff.
Bit like Leslie Neilsen always being a straight action hero leading man until about Airplane.

Isnt George Wendt a death metal fan or something?

Haha, actually, George Wendt loves the Who.

Voted George Wendt.

If memory serves, at least a couple of them had clearly been drinking the night they all did Leno after the final show. (xposts)

Saw George Wendt on tv once talking about Wayne Kramer.

I was thinking of putting a live tape by the Whipping Boy somewhere for him when I did that film. Wonder if he'd've liked them. I did hear he was into things like Husker du, though i think he's hanging with Soul Asylum in Mould's book, at least until the beer runs out.

He was once sighted at a Replacements show in Chicago.

HARDEN: One day Woody brought the cast of Cheers and we played a half-court game with them. Ted Danson was there and the heavy one, the fat one — George [Wendt] — and another guy. They were playing me, Woody, and someone else. George Wendt hit a jumper on me. I couldn't believe it. I was like, "Wait a minute, let me get to work on this guy." But they stopped the game so we could go film. I never got the chance to redeem myself. He hit a long jumper on me. That's unbelievable — he couldn't even get off the ground.

He did read this thread: the right to be fat?

Gah, I meant "didn't".

Wendt used to go to London between seasons in the early 90s and see indie rock bands in Camden toilet venues & the Reading festival

i saw him at the astoria in london (rip) at a buffalo tom show while he was starring in Art here.

that owns

i see my childhood belief that george wendt was the coolest human being on earth turned out to be correct

haha otm

maybe bebe neuwirth is *literally* the most beautiful woman in history, too

I love(d ;_;) the Astoria.
I love Buffalo Tom.
That is fantastic.

you know, I don't think I have ever been served a beer in a mug at a bar

I have. Drink enough of them and it usually leads to situations like this one.

no maybe about it.

Shame the Astoria is no more anyway innit?
Liked that venue most of the time.
Was it not used for concerts (as in rock gigs) until about 25 years ago or something. Don't seem to remember going there much until the 90s.

went there LOADS in the 90s (and early 00s), along with its sister venue, the LA2. so many good times. and it was a great venue - London's best of that size, lots of character, decent staff. they installed a new sound system in the mid-00s, and it was DEAFENING in a good way.

and then Boris levelled it, the cunt.

i have been served a beer in a mug at a bar, voted woody

one time i was servered a beer in a boot shaped mug in a bar, it was cute

A cold beer out of a mug like that is one of life's great pleasures.

yeah I've had the boot

I dunno, in America things come in pint glasses. I was annoyed recently when I was served beer in a mason jar. but a mug? can't recall it.

Lol, i live in america myself.

depends on the bar and theme, but yeah, pint glasses are pretty standard at most bars. more likely to see mugs as the larger beer size at places that offer two sizes, or at older or theme places.

german bars for sure

Used to drink from a mug all the time at the neighborhood place. Kind of a rip since it was only 12 oz.

It was nice having it frosted though.

there's a place near me with small frosted mugs for like 75 cents. colder than hell and cheap. It's great during the summer.

Instantly went for Lilith. My iPod is even named Lilith.
