I love this episode, coach was a favorite character for me early on. It was nice to see everyone rally around him to ‘cheat the cheater’
Norm laughing away as if he hadn’t already given Coach $10 for nothing at all.
Cheers holds up really well even today. The first few seasons especially.
Harry was my favorite character. He was mildly sleazy but when push came to shove he used his powers for good helping coach get his money back.
I’m a bit biased because I grew up watching Cheers every week, but I think it’s one of the best sitcoms ever made. The dynamic between the characters, the sharp writing, Norm’s wife, Sam’s hair, Kirstie Alley before she went batshit insane. I love all of it. Such a great show.
He says “5 bucks for the booze Cliffo”
It wasn’t a small glass but surely it was cheaper than that back then?
A lot of times people use the word “classic” to describe things when they really just mean “old.” But this scene, and Cheers in general, are the true definition of the word: “judged over a period of time to be of the highest quality and outstanding of its kind.”
The show is over 40 years old and still as funny today as it was then. And not too many shows made today can match it.
I love the real studio audience and the weird and awkward (by today’s standards) silence when we see Norm and Cliff’s fear. It gave the scene a realistic quality, unlike today’s stuff that feels the need to fill every second with canned laughter.
One of the best side-characters in the series.
I watched cheers reruns in 90’s and loved it and followed Fraiser which for me the finest sitcom ever.
But last week decided to start watching cheers again. I have forgotten everything bar the characters. So I’m coming new into again.
It’s simply wonderful, the characters are warm and realistic. The show just want to entertain and make you forgot yourself for a while. It’s like hot chocolate on screen.
Also I hated Diane the first time around. But maybe cos I’m older, but she’s absolutely gorgeous and very cute and funny. Her and Sam have a brilliant dynamic.
Coach is my standout this time around, his lines and delivery are perfect. In the very first episode when Diane is a customer waiting on her fiancé.
Diane: “Where’s your bathroom?”
Coach: “Beside my bedroom”
Either this is a coincidence or someone watched this episode after a fairly popular critic tweeted how satisfying the ending is yesterday. I know I decided to rewatch it
I only occasionally saw bits of this show (from a different country). Did these folks all really just go to the bar and drink every day? I’m not sure if it’s meant to just be ‘friday night drinks’ or something, or is it just the daily happenings in that bar? It seems it’s the latter, but if so, aren’t these all just a bunch of alcoholics drinking every day?
“Sorry. We’re closed.”

That’s some bad hat
That’s one bad hat harry
Cliff actually auditioned for Norm’s role the drunk guy but got refused. He then asked them if they had a know it all, as every bar had one. Thus he got the role.
The early seasons of Cheers were literally a stage play. The entire first season took place in just three rooms: the bar, the pool room and Sam’s office.
I tried this at a bar ONCE when I was just a few weeks into being 21. It’s was a local place in walking distance of my house and all my social group hung out there.
This stupid trick that should never have worked, worked FLAWLESSLY! Not only that, it led to me having a super unique interaction with a woman FAR outside my dating class and getting laid. it was a fucking wild ass night.
Since that night I have never attempted it since. There was just so much magic that 1st time and I only want to remember this stupid little trick as leading into one of my most memorable nights of my youth.
To this DAY I always end this story with, I’ll always be thankful to my dad and uncle who was chef cheers regularly when I was growing up
We still make PENNIES.
When Harry Anderson passed away a few years ago, I actually went back and saw all the episodes he appeared in on Cheers. They stood up really well. I loved his final appearance where he helped Sam finally defeat Gary’s Old Town tavern.
This isn’t an original joke but I have a few British compatriots that I work with. Whenever they close a conversation by saying cheers I respond with Night Court. I think Community and another show had that joke.
For you kids who never saw Cheers before but have grown up in the age of Pixar, that mailman is John Ratzenberger, who has been a voice in all of them. He’s the only person who’s done every Pixar film.
Cheers is one of the few shows lasting over ten seasons that was consistently good from beginning to end. Too many shows that run that long start to jump the shark around the fifth and sixth season.

That shot is ginormous
I watched every episode this show when it was on Netflix. So good. My favorite line of all time was from this show. Someone asks Norm “How’s life treating ya norm?” “Like I slept with its wife.” The best.
Chatted with him at his Magic Store in New Orleans, before Katrina. Really good dude, need more guys like him.
Harry is supposed to be 25 in the show
