i like Taxi and the bygone era of the working class workplace sitcom, but Cheers easily.

its a shame devito never guested on cheers though. that would've been insanely cool

― turds (Hungry4Ass), Tuesday, 30 October 2012 22:30 (thirteen years ago)

Cheers had the better characters and yeah was probly funnier

I'm more of a Barney Miller kind of guy. Sue me.

Taxi, though when it went downhill it RACED there. Cheers took too long to get going but once it did it stayed on that high plateau for a long time. But Jim Ignatowski trumps all.

i don't get how Cheers "took too long to get going," first couple seasons may not have all my favorite characters or hallmarks of the show but i never feel like they're lacking when i'm watching them

― Victory Goon (some dude), Tuesday, 30 October 2012 23:23 (thirteen years ago)

― charlie the luna (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Tuesday, 30 October 2012 23:24 (thirteen years ago)

― turds (Hungry4Ass), Tuesday, 30 October 2012 23:25 (thirteen years ago)

― turds (Hungry4Ass), Tuesday, 30 October 2012 23:25 (thirteen years ago)

cheers was a fav of mine from the beginning

cheers never really clicked with me

― buzza, Wednesday, 31 October 2012 07:24 (thirteen years ago)

lol taxi was a fav

― buzza, Wednesday, 31 October 2012 07:25 (thirteen years ago)

I loved Taxi out of all measure when it was in early syndication but when I think about it now it's the this-has-gone-on-too-long episodes that leap to mind. hadn't thought about Cheers in forever before reading the other thread and was surprised to be reminded that it was quite good - it had faded almost completely from memory

still probably voting Taxi because of Rev. Jim at his best

Taxi's great and all but i'm honestly not sure i wouldn't choose Night Court over Taxi

― push iatee (some dude), Wednesday, 31 October 2012 11:35 (thirteen years ago)
