Season 3 of Cheers enriched television history in a lot of ways, most notably by introducing Kelsey Grammer as psychiatrist Frasier Crane while also bidding an off-screen farewell to Nicholas Colasanto, the actor who played Coach. (Colasanto died near the end of the season, and while Coach's character was kept alive via outtakes for remaining episodes, he essentially disappeared from Cheers before the commencement of year 4.) Grammer's beloved character, who remained on NBC for 20 unbroken years (including the long-running Frasier), is ushered into the Cheers family when he meets barmaid Diane Chambers (Shelley Long) in a very funny, Emmy-nominated episode suggesting the neurotic course of their future romance. Meanwhile, Sam (Ted Danson), having fallen off the wagon due to his own tempestuous love affair with Diane, has to endure Frasier's questions about how to be intimate with the brainy babe. Elsewhere in Cheers' sardonic community, Cliff (John Ratzenberger), in a sweet but barbed episode, meets a woman (Bernadette Birkett) at a costume party and is afraid of re-introducing himself later. Norm (George Wendt) becomes aware of his mortality and decides to move to Bora Bora, and Sam (in another Emmy-nominated show) has to explain how he got shot in his posterior. Other good things: "The Heart Is a Lonely Snipe Hunter," in which the men of Cheers cruelly initiate Frasier in the manly art of snipe-hunting, and "Bar Bet," starring Jacqueline Bisset as a woman Sam must marry before a certain date or lose the bar forever. --Tom Keogh

 Sorry but... November 6, 2009
Mons (Norrpan)
I don't entirely agree with a lot of these glowing reviews and I almost feel as if I'm committing sacrilege. 80s prime-time sitcom Cheers had a lot going for it. It was warm, had a fine cast of supporting regulars (Norm, Cliff and Frasier), the Zen-like wit of Woody Harrelson's bartender and the hapless Coach, and an endearing innocence. The writing in particular is one of the star attractions - witty and big on laughs - and puts many other of today's sitcoms to shame by comparison. Full marks so far. What a tragedy, then, that Cheers let down by two monumental casting blunders: the two leads, Ted Danson and Shelly Long. Danson as the heartthrob, ex-alcoholic baseball star is awkward and wooden in the role. Shelly Long looks like she walked onto the set by mistake and by a ghastly quirk of fate was worked into the script. The love affair between them is about as implausible as it gets and brings down the overall rating.

.. of the Cheers series, the consistency was very-strong .. and the writing/acting, etc. .. is still very-memorable. Long, Danson, Ratzenberger, Colasanto, Rhea Perlman and others could form a GREAT comedy team .. and the entire series has very-few (if any) "weak" spots, in episodes, writings and the results of a series, that can "weather" the test of many times (IMHO).f

This is so 5 star. It's amazing how good a TV show Cheers is. The scripts are just riotous and clever, the characters utterly unique and funny. Cheers really gets me laughing at stuff that can be pretty downheartening in life. What a breath of fresh air. If laughter is the best medicine, then Cheers is the MD I've been looking for. All the seasons are great, but I've been laughing so much over this Season 3 lately, I just thought I'd put in my 2 cents. Season 3 is a riot.
