i love cliff but him getting 5X the votes frasier got is kinda insane

yeah i think this is because frasier the show quickly became a corny, prissy french farce, and because kelsey grammer is a motherfucker with some dark secrets...

Trad., Arrrgh (stevie), Wednesday, 5 September 2012 06:57 (twelve years ago)

kinda most surprised by how few votes Woody got

some dude, Wednesday, 5 September 2012 11:15 (twelve years ago)

Lilith came second?

Mark G, Wednesday, 5 September 2012 11:18 (twelve years ago)

i voted woody

Trad., Arrrgh (stevie), Wednesday, 5 September 2012 11:34 (twelve years ago)

How did anyone end up with less votes than Diane?!?! SMH

Thing I like most about this board is how after every poll, my immediate reaction is "fuckin' ILX…"

pplains, Wednesday, 5 September 2012 13:56 (twelve years ago)

Let's do a Night Court poll and see how many votes Mac gets for first place.

pplains, Wednesday, 5 September 2012 13:58 (twelve years ago)

I would totally campaign for Mac

DARING PRINCESS (DJP), Wednesday, 5 September 2012 13:59 (twelve years ago)

Had you down for either Roz or Selma, tbh.

pplains, Wednesday, 5 September 2012 14:00 (twelve years ago)

oh shit Roz

sorry Mac, Marsha Warfield is my long time boo

DARING PRINCESS (DJP), Wednesday, 5 September 2012 14:02 (twelve years ago)

I was first in line: Best TAXI Character

Eric H., Wednesday, 5 September 2012 14:14 (twelve years ago)

Let's do a Judge Judy poll, see who wins!

Mark G, Wednesday, 5 September 2012 14:35 (twelve years ago)

woody harrelson is a motherfucker with some dark secrets

your native bacon (mh), Wednesday, 5 September 2012 15:11 (twelve years ago)

i always liked woody more than coach tbh

Hungry4Ass, Wednesday, 5 September 2012 18:03 (twelve years ago)

Coach was great as a befuddled old man, Woody was a masterpiece of naivete and comic misinterpretation. Woody Harrelson is a charismatic motherfucker, too

your native bacon (mh), Wednesday, 5 September 2012 18:05 (twelve years ago)

oh man, Reelz is running the first Lilith episode! she dumps Fraser in the first act and then Sam sets him up with Jennifer Tilly, never saw this before

some dude, Tuesday, 11 September 2012 17:38 (twelve years ago)

It is really hard to settle on a favorite character aside from Diane (who could be far too grating which I realize was part of the character, but still).

NR’s resident heavy-metal expert (Nicole), Tuesday, 11 September 2012 17:41 (twelve years ago)

this was the right result

Cheers writer Ken Levine disagrees with this graph from the internet:

As someone who wrote these characters for nine years, this would be my order:

Lilith
Frasier
Diane
(now comes a big drop)
Sam
Rebecca
Carla
Norm
Cliff

Coach
Woody

Sam was dumbed down over the years but at least during the first few seasons he was very smart and savvy. So if you average his IQ over the seasons he still comes out way ahead, certainly better than Cliff.

I can't believe they put Cliff anywhere near the top.

Why Coach over Woody? They were both pretty addled. But you figure that before he was hit in the head by too many fastballs, the Coach was probably smarter. Although, now that I think about it, how intelligent do you have to be to just get out of the way?

ken levine otm, internet image macro infographic off the money

j., Tuesday, 25 September 2012 04:58 (twelve years ago)

cliff that high is just bonkers

Thanks WEBSITE!! (Z S), Tuesday, 25 September 2012 05:01 (twelve years ago)

the placement of cliff that high makes me question the intelligence of the infographic creator. i imagine a cliff-like being putting together this sequence, rationalizing it in a way that sounds decent if you're not really paying attention, but if you are, you just shake your head in wonder at the ability of humanity to justify its stupidity

Thanks WEBSITE!! (Z S), Tuesday, 25 September 2012 05:06 (twelve years ago)

i imagine a cliff-like being putting together this sequence,

yes otm

┐(´ー`)┌ (sic), Tuesday, 25 September 2012 05:21 (twelve years ago)

Yeah, what's up with that?

this is the dream of avril and chad (jer.fairall), Tuesday, 25 September 2012 05:30 (twelve years ago)

lol i love the idea of some credulous viewer thinking that Cliff is the wise sage who has so much knowledge

some dude, Tuesday, 25 September 2012 12:08 (twelve years ago)

The main hook to Cliff's character was that he never had a clue what he was talking about; that chart is hilarious.

Cliff being smarter than Carla would invalidate every single interaction they ever had!

some dude, Tuesday, 25 September 2012 12:16 (twelve years ago)

they did sort of play him that way in the earliest eps, but they quickly realized it was funnier to undercut his knowitall interjections

Hungry4Ass, Tuesday, 25 September 2012 12:40 (twelve years ago)

re: being a wise sage

Hungry4Ass, Tuesday, 25 September 2012 12:40 (twelve years ago)

Cliff on Jeopardy is one of TV's all time classic episodes.

One Way Ticket on the 1277 Express (Bill Magill), Tuesday, 25 September 2012 13:46 (twelve years ago)

Norm's ability to effortlessly zing people is all-time, the writers obviously valued that.`

Cliff as standup is one of my favourite episodes ever (My Son The Father, I believe)

Trad., Arrrgh (stevie), Tuesday, 25 September 2012 20:23 (twelve years ago)

I voted Cliff but immediately wished I'd actually voted Rebecca.

Alba, Tuesday, 25 September 2012 21:29 (twelve years ago)

Team Carla, obv.

controversial cabaret roommate (Nicole), Tuesday, 25 September 2012 22:35 (twelve years ago)

haha i just watched an episode that ends with Woody outsmarting Sam (after Sam promises him a raise of $100 a month, Woody says "that's too steep, I'll settle for $30 a week" and Sam acts like he was a master negotiator)

Algeddie Trunkeeper (some dude), Wednesday, 26 September 2012 17:59 (twelve years ago)

that's quintessential cheers for me - everyone thinks they have one up on somebody, and they're rarely right (including frasier, often)

Trad., Arrrgh (stevie), Wednesday, 26 September 2012 18:20 (twelve years ago)

didn't woody end up being mayor of boston or something?

Philip Nunez, Wednesday, 26 September 2012 18:26 (twelve years ago)

oh god yes. another of frasier's plans gone wrong.

Trad., Arrrgh (stevie), Wednesday, 26 September 2012 18:32 (twelve years ago)

city councilman

balls, Wednesday, 26 September 2012 18:33 (twelve years ago)

frasier was such a great character on cheers, but i really tired of his sitcom very quickly. like the hunting of the snipe episode, or the one where he's getting the bar interested in charles dickens by adding grisly horror and action movie details to the stories. "it's a far far better butt-kicking i give today, than i have ever butt-kicked before." genius.

i'm really impressed by how they were able to find old timey photographs of barhounds in the opening credits that were analogs to the characters. the ones for frazier and rebecca are especially good.

Philip Nunez, Wednesday, 26 September 2012 18:38 (twelve years ago)

and i saw this place in portugal last week

they did their research, i'll give them that

every once in a while i think about the (last) wwi vet who streaked out of the back room yelling 'lafayette we are here!'
