When the show first premiered it was at the bottom of the pack in the Nielsen ratings back in 1982. But NBC execs could not let a potential and promising show be canceled at all. As they indeed felt that the show could be a hit.
A year later in 1983, it was a hit and climbing in the top twenty to the top ten in ratings. A great cast, a great ensemble, and a great writing. That shows wit and charm! Led by Ted Danson as Sam Malone, a former baseball player who owns the bar in Boston, it had the wit and charm. With a cast of characters of Norm and Cliff, played respectively by George Wendt and John Ratzenberger. Crazy Carla played by Rhea Pearlman. And the love interests, first Diane played by Shelly Long and then, Rebecca played by Kirstie Alley.
The show had so much charm as it was the show to be in the 1980s and early 1990s as it went out on top in 1993. A rarity in TV these days.
score 10/10
