I didn't hate this sitcom, it's good but i just don't love it. Maybe it's because i was firmly a 'Frasier' fan first and wasn't even born when Cheers began. I probably first watched Cheers about five years ago when they started playing the episodes on Paramount.
I got to like some of the characters, Carla and Cliff being two of my favourites. I never warmed to Sam (although i love Ted Danson) i thought Diane was quite funny, Norm was pretty boring and i hated Woody and Rebecca. I still think the best two in the programme were Frasier and Lilith; it was so nice to see such different characters hanging out in a bar, instead of your Sam and Norm types. I've always been drawn to eccentric and unusual characters, so some of the characters in 'Cheers' just seemed too 'normal.' It's worth watching because some of the story lines are good and there a few laughs with Carla being horrible to Cliff and Norm's unseen wife Vera being talked about, but i think 'Frasier' and other U.S sitcoms like Spin City and Third rock from the sun are funnier.
