Someday someone is going to do that joke with Bored To Death or CSI and make the original tweeter feel as old as we do now. (Ted Danson, of course, being immortal.)

Danson also spent his post-Becker career doing -Curb Your Enthusiasm recurring spots -Two seasons of Damages -Three seasons of Bored to Death -Like five seasons of various CSIs -The best season of Fargo All of which I would have put ahead of "Becker" on notoriety levels, but below Cheers.

Davros1 posted:What?! It's Ted Danson's most famous role! Becker was barely on TV here, I'd absolutely say it's not. Hell I think Curb is what made him properly famous to me. It's also pretty funny that the country that actually broadcasts and makes the show is the one where it's hardest to watch. I guess the same goes for ST:Discovery though.

I doubt anyone remembers Danson's first post-Cheers sitcom, Ink, which aired on CBS for one season from 1996–1997 and costarred his wife, Mary Steenburgen. It aired after Cosby, the second Bill Cosby sitcom where he was married to Phylicia Rashad. Both shows were not good.

Becker had some good episodes. There's one where Reggie sets Jake up on a date, and it turns out it's with a blind woman, and Jake is peeved that just because he's blind Reggie assumed he would want to date other blind people - he wants to be with someone who can see, because being blind is stressful enough without having to look out for another blind person too. Plus, he asks her like, "would you have set up a seeing friend with a blind person without telling them she was blind?" and she's forced to admit she wouldn't have. That stuck with me. Some surprisingly complex takes in that show.

I tried watching Cheers once, watched the pilot and peaced out. I had heard that the show had a much different tone the first two (?) seasons, which gave me hope that it wasn’t another HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA sitcom. That hope was unfounded

Watch the first Season Finale. It's fantastic. It's still an 80s sitcom, but it's a perfect example of early Cheers.

Also they had a really neat Gay Panic episode which played on stereotypes without using them straight. It was basically Sam, Diane and the (suspected) gay customers vs everyone else's hysteria. It also had a great twist where the suspected gays were friends of Diane's and weren't actually gay - the actual gay customers were joining the rest of the bar's hysteria, a plot of Diane's (I think) to prove how bullshit the stereotypes are and get the patrons to chill the gently caress out before Sam threw them out.

It may be a case of the Casablanca Effect, where the show was so groundbreaking that its influence has become entrenched in the fabric of those shows which have succeeded it, thus rendering it unremarkable to a new viewer. I’ll give it another try, sometime.

This is like me and Seinfeld. I never watched it when it was first airing, and now going back while I can recognize that it must have been amazing for its time and had a lot of influence, I've seen other shows do the same things better now.

Cheers is legit a good show that starts fairly dece and gets even better, especially once one handsome and svelte psychologist with a velvety voice joins the cast Just keep in mind you’re never supposed to admire Sam

The payoff to the longterm storyline of Sam trying to buy back the bar is still one of the most hilariously pathetic things I've ever seen  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWRxs1zvy2w
