Here * one word for all you mourning Cheers fans - reruns.
Last call for laughs at Cheers
n was the place you went wnere everyoooy Knew your
name But after 11 seasons, the cast o! Cheers is turning
oft the lights and going home
No more Norm No more Sam No more Woody
"I definitely think it's time for Cheers to go," says
Woody Harrelson. who plays Woody Boyd on the series in
which he co-stars with Ted Danson and Kirstie Alley 'I
think most people would agree
Not college students
"Losing Cheers is like losing a close friend." says Jen
Tague a tumor at Boston U "I've been watching the show
since it followed Farm > Ties, and it has become a Thursday
night ritual"
That's right Long before Beverly Hills 90210 Cheers
was the knot that tied this generation together
i m in a rraiernny ana everyone in ine nouse arops
their studies to watch Cheers, says Clift DeGrot a junior
at the U of Oregon "Losing Cheers is a pity *
But don t mourn the show s loss too long Harrelson has
a list of upcoming movie roles Kelsey Grammer is getting
his own NBC show to play Cheers favorite shrink, Dr
Frasier Crane And George Wendt who plays Norm, has a
new sitcom waiting after the finale
Cheers, which debuted in September 1982, outlasted
such classics as All in the Family and I Love Lucy It's the
only comedy that has surpassed M'A’S'Hs longevity
M'A'S'H lasted tor 255 shows Cheers has done 263
And that can mean only one thing
"I will be watching the reruns faithfully." Boston U s
