Hi Hun, I have to confess I never really watched Cheers but have caught a few eps and found it quite funny. But its hard to believe that it started 27 years ago! Mind you I was in shock that Friends is 15 years old this week - life is shooting by far to quickly.

Got em all except for 10 which should be the easiest...9 was a very funny ep at the end and the resolution of the rivalry with 7 was classic Cheers...

It's hard to believe it's been 27 years. So basically I'm one year older than the show. OMG!

One, four and seven are A; two, three, five and nine are B; eight and ten are C; six is D! "There's a recurring phenomenon between vowels and consonants in the English alphabet, and the even and odd integers of their numerical counterparts, which some say could explain many mysteries of today's universe." That's my Cliffy impersonation!

I liked Cheers, although I was never a huge fan, it did have a laugh or two. I could only say I am sure of #7 and #9. 27 years.....wow. Funny how it doesn't feel that long ago, eh?

Amy: I watched Cheers when it originally aired, but I haven't watched it much since. I agree that time goes too quickly.

Dee: Don't do anything I wouldn't do.

Maritimer: Good job! I was surprised at how much I've forgotten.

Carolee: Ah, so young. How did you do on the quiz?

tuckgraph: Your picks are much better this week! Oh! You pulled a Clavin. (That's one of our favorite lines to use when somebody bets it all on Jeopardy.)

BuskieBoy: I really liked it, but it's been a long time. I only knew 5, 7, 9 & 10 for sure.

Out of the mainstream I guess, seen a few eps but not enough to answer any of the quiz queries. But I did notice that all of those songs drive me pretty wild as well!

Oddly enough, i watched and loved both "Fraiser" and (the unrelated)"Becker" and im a big fan of Woody but ive never seen a single episode of "Cheers". I have however seen that sign enough times to know the answer to the last question.

Hi IndianaMom, What a great show, quiz wise I think I got 7 right. Cheers to Cheers!

I loved Cheers, but I haven't watched it in years, so I couldn't remember any of the answers.

I always enjouyed Cheers, but I'm not enough of a diehard to pass this quiz.
Posted Oct 1, 2009 5:29 pm PT
I've watched it a few times, but not enough to know any of the answers. Tequila Mockingbird, that's cute!

My husband was a big Cheers fan. It wasn't one of my most-watched shows (even though my icon might fool you) but I do enjoy catching them when they're on (naturally, I prefer the Diane-Sam dynamic to that of Kirstie Allie's antics). Only have vague guesses for most of those, but I sure will raise a glass later this evening to it

I remember going to Boston on business back in 1995 and requesting to be taken to Cheers bar by the President of the company I was visiting, and I remember being really disappointed as it's nothing like the TV set inside!

It looks like most of you are like me--we watched Cheers, but don't remember enough to know all the answers. @tvking, I also thought that was clever.
Posted Oct 2, 2009 8:10 pm PT
And, as my mother used to say, Look who the cat dragged in! Jon, it's good to see you again. I've missed you. Hope you are feeling back on top of things.

I haven't seen the show, but I do recognize some of the faces -- young Woody Harrelson, Kirstie Alley, Ted Danson, and Kelsey.
