Sometimes a network executive gets smart and goes with his gut rather than the numbers concocted by the beancounters. Such was the fate of Cheers. The series about regulars at a Boston bar finished dead last for its premiere season. Instead of being yanked off the air like Super Train, the NBC suits renewed it without any drastic changes. They didn't add a mouthy kid to be the mascot or have Ted McGinley arrive as the new owner. They trusted the talent of the cast and crew to grow an audience. It became a ratings monster when The Cosby Show joined it on Thursday nights. For a series that could have died in the crib, it became a cultural monster. It made hanging out in bars cool since you'd have friends who knew your names. Cheers: Season 10 displays the series' superstar status during the penultimate outing. »»
