TVography™: CHEERS. It was a simple setting, a bar "where everybody knows your name." And it would become America's favorite hangout. Cheers was a ratings disaster when it debuted in 1982, but the critics loved it, and it went on to win the hearts of the audience, too. Soon much of America was tuning in every week to catch up with their favorite barflies, eager to see if Sam and Diane would finally get together. It was appointment TV at its best: smart, funny, and hugely successful until its last call in 1993 after an 11-year run.
TVography™: CHEERS takes viewers inside this legendary show to learn how it was created and cast, and how it evolved. The hour features interviews from Ted Danson (Sam), Shelley Long (Diane) Bebe Neuwirth (Lilith), creators James Burrows, Les Charles and Glen Charles, and network executive Warren Littlefield.
