It was so dependent on one man and his act. Cheers was an ensemble that took on a life of its own pretty much from the beginning. - con_carne Feb 1, 10:58
very much so. For me, it's the 80s show that holds up best. For the 90s, Friends. -- nm - loosilu Feb 1, 10:53 20

  - Love the Night Court. (Isn't it time for that one to get a re-visit or do they not do night court anymore?) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 1, 10:56 2
    - Far as I know, they still do. but I don't know if they could remake it now. -- nm - loosilu Feb 1, 10:57 1
