Best CHEERS character

Can someone explain "We Win" ?

I remember reading somewhere on the net that the headline is about the local sport team winning the championship.

Anyway, I'm not saying the drawn pics are fake, but some of them look a bit dubious to me, especially the one seen here at 0:17, where you can see a black guy drinking with middle-class white guys, in a setting that appears to be a late 19th century bar. Weren't bars like this segregated in the US back then?

LOL @ Tuomas basic misunderstandings of america

So you're saying bars weren't segregated back then, or what?

many of them weren't.

Thanks, I actually remember Woody's fiancée now

KELLY KELLY KELLY KELLY KELLY KELLY KELLY KELLY KELLY KELLY KELLY KELLY K-E-L-L-Y WHY? BECAUSE SHE'S KELLY KELLY KELLY KELLY KELLY KELLY KELLY KELLY KELLY KELLY KELLY KELLY

Robin Colcord era was classic

so bummed that on the DVD version of the episode where an imprisoned Robin's picking up trash outside the bar with the other felons, they had to change the music that Sam hassles Rebecca with from I Fought The Law to some generic nonsense.

Probably a war.

I was going to say, "probably a war or a World Series win", but lol @ Boston.

For some reason, I thought it was a newspaper calling an election result, wrongly...

maybe the newspaper thought it won the election, and was wrong

Found the answer on a "Cheers" Faq page, hang on..

Where do the photos in the opening credits come from?

The images were taken from old archives of photographs, and then treated to look older. The entire sequence was created by Castle/Bryant/Johnsen, Inc. An original, untreated photograph can be seen here: http://www.shorpy.com/node/7798 The newspaper headline "We win!" refers to the ending of prohibition.

oops. Well, you get it, yeah?

we all win.

there is a shameful lack of nick tortelli clips on youtube

I think I watched an episode of "The Tortellis" when it was on.

Took place in Vegas, that's all I remember of it.

i always assumed WE WIN was like the end of world war ii or something

the kid who played nick & carla's eldest son did a pretty passable dan hedeya impression

super otm

this. my girlfriend didn't even remember him. :( maybe she only saw the woody harrelson seasons.

the episode where he has to pick two of his children out of carla's brood to go to his daughter's wedding is CLASSIC nick

Nick is a great character, and I love how his son started off as a young spunky dude and slowly developed into the Nick type character.

love the bit where carla can't explain to diane what nick's power is and then he basically seduces diane in 10 sec

nick is awesome in "to die for"

i watched an episode recently w/ anthony tortelli chasing after a young sherilyn fenn looking aboslutely ridic

wow

Hedaya was great in Dick.

pretty sure his character is not that far removed from his character as the father in A Night at the Roxbury

I need to watch Blood Simple again, he's so good in that.

watching the season 5 finale right now, it's all the more remarkable the show continued to survive and flourish not just after the Diane departure but after the awful 'flash forward with everyone in old person makeup' gambit

take that back! that episode never fails to choke me up.

oh it's a good episode otherwise, i just hate that kind of thing

so into diane right now

some random cable channel (Reelz i think?) runs 2 Cheers episodes every afternoon, which i've been watching and enjoying the hell out of now and again lately, although it never fails to irritate me that invariably one episode is Diane/Coach era and one is Rebecca/Woody era (i love both eras, just kinda wanna spend time on one or the other and not switch gears halfway through the hour).

Reelz heard my cries of protest and started airing the show more or less chronologically! been fun watching nothing but season 1 episodes lately (in slightly shuffled order), really helps me appreciate the charms of the Diane/Coach years more than i had before.

they really had shit on point from day 1, it's pretty remarkable

and, and, the point, coach, is that you finally did learn the pledge of allegiance

no, sam, i never learned it

yeah, but uh you respected mr spires for trying to help you

no, i hated his guts, sam

but looking back on it now you respect him for it...

no, no, he died and i was glad he died

irish to remake cheers

darragh for sam, local garda for coach imo

"Woody, would you add up these receipts for me please"
"sure..........there's 8 of 'em"

I prefer smart (or semi-smart) Sam to dumb Sam, but this is too good:

I do periodically steal one of dumb Sam's jokes:

"Do you think I'm pedantic?"
Me: "That depends."
"On what?"
Me: "On what 'pedantic' means."
