10 Reasons Cheers Will Always Be Better Than Frasier
Kelsey Grammer's Frasier may have more Emmy wins, but its parent series, Cheers will always be better than the Seattle-based spin-off sequel.
Cheers (1982)
One of the most well-known American sitcoms of the 1980s and 90s, Cheers is primarily set in Boston at the Cheers bar, and features and ensemble cast that includes Ted Danson, Shelley Long, Rhea Pearlman, Kelsey Grammer, and George Wendt. Danson's Sam Malone acts as the bar's proprietor, and episodes depict the lives of Cheers' staff and patrons during the bar's operating hours. The series ran for 11 seasons and gave rise to popular spin-off shows such as Frasier.
