Very sad news.
Always liked that show. Wanted to punch Cliff and have a beer with Norm.

 

[phillyflyers]

Damn. Sad news.

One of my all time favourite shows.

 

[BobbyFK]

Oh no! I used to love watching Cheers

 

[jjgold]

Tremendous show, but I never really got into it

 

[Jrgum3]

Dang Cheers is on my all time favorite list of sitcoms and Norm is one of the best characters ever. RIP big guy we'll miss you.

Best Norm intro:

“WOMEN!, can’t live with ‘em - pour me a beer…..”

You know you have an all time iconic show when the actors can't get another role. Everyone of those stars was typecast into that character.

Same with Seinfeld, only JLD was able to create a new image in a sitcom.

JLD was the same slutty misfit character in Old Christine

Veep was also one of the best sitcoms of all time along with Cheers

Best damn episode IMO was... Andy Andy episode...

VEEP was my thought

VEEP was my thought

I never saw VEEP. But I’ve definitely watched Old Christine. I’m definitely going to watch VEEP to see JLD playing a different character.

Veep arguably top-5 all-time sitcom

Frasier got one and did rather well.

Damn, he died exactly 32 years after the final episode.

Being away from the show must have been too hard for him to handle
