Cheers • Season 1 Ratings & Reviews
Minneapolis Star Tribune
John Carman
The premise doesn't sound like much, but the production team pulled off a well-crafted and endearing pilot. [Shelley] Long, who's appeared in a few movies and has had guest shots on some TV series, is especially promising.
New York Times
John J. O'Connor
This is one of those projects that rapidly clicks into place. The basic concept is workable. The script, by the Charles brothers, is sharp and lively. And the direction by Mr. Burrows never misses a comic beat.
Washington Post
Tom Shales
Cheers is for cheering. It's the best new series of the season and the most substantial new comedy since Taxi.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Eric Mink
Sam, Diane, a mostly lovable and funny bunch of regulars and occasional outsiders create an atmosphere in which nothing is more valued than quick wit, sincerity and eccentricity. Watching the show, you start to wish you were a regular there.
New York Daily News
Kay Gardella
Cheers works -- not brilliantly, but it works.
Chicago Tribune
Marilynn Preston
It's an obvious set-up for a smart ensemble comedy, set up by some of the smartest ensemble writers in the business.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Richard Zoglin
Like Taxi, Cheers is a little too clever for its own good. The writers shoehorn nearly a dozen "offbeat" characters into the feverish half-hour, and none becomes anything more than a cardboard cutup. As happens so often, too many kooks spoil the broth.
Arizona Republic
Bud Wilkinson
[Cheers] is the funniest program to appear in a long while, save for the short-lived Police Squad earlier this year.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Lee Winfrey
Cheers is the gem of the fall season, a new series without a weak spot.
Detroit Free Press
Mike Duffy
The real charm of the series is in its exceptional writing and fine ensemble acting. If you like Taxi, you should certainly enjoy Cheers. Four stars all the way.
Orlando Sentinel
Noel Holston
Here's looking at Cheers, which deserves to become the toast of the new season.
Associated Press
Fred Rothenberg
Just walking in the door, you know that Cheers, NBC's new wise-cracking comedy set in a sports-crazy bar in Boston, will be a warm and wacky companion of a television show, a delightful place to spend idle time, a five-star watering hole.
Los Angeles Times
Howard Rosenberg
Creators Jim Burrows and Les and Glen Charles have done for Cheers what they did for Taxi: execute a comedy that is at once terrifically funny and intelligent, a warm, gregarious dream of a half-hour that puts you away almost from start to finish.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Jerry Coffey
We're talking world-class TV comedy here. Cheers gives every indication of belonging up there with MASH, Barney Miller, WKRP and, of course, Taxi among its contemporaries on the rather short list of truly superior half-hour comedies.
The Hollywood Reporter
Richard Hack
Ted Danson is remarkably good as Malone, countered at every turn by the equally brilliant Shelley Long as Diane.
AV Club
Keith Phipps
I love the way this pilot shows how these particular characters end up spending so much time together.
AV Club
Meredith Blake
Sam is immediately established as a bit of a cad, but he's also surprisingly sweet; I was touched by how protective he was of Diane, despite her haughtiness.
AV Club
Donna Bowman
What strikes me in this pilot is Ted Danson's awesomeness.
AV Club
Noel Murray
I actually watched this episode when it originally aired-I even remember NBC's evocative little teaser ads, with two beer glasses smashing together-and I do remember finding it immediately inviting, even for a 12-year-old.
AV Club
Erik Adams
Part of what makes the world of Cheers (the series) so inviting so quickly is that it really seems like Cheers (the bar) existed long before Diane, Sumner, or that kid with the fake ID walked through its door.
