Difference between revisions of "Cheers"

{{TB| The song “[[Flaming Moe’s (song)]]” is a parody of the theme song of “Cheers”, complete with old-fashioned engravings passing by the screen. At the end when everyone shouts: “Barney!” and the bartender asks him “How does the world treat you, Mr. Gumble” a shout-out is made to the character [[Norm Peterson]] who also used to be cheered and greeted by other bar visitors with the same question.}}

{{TB| Before Homer enters [[Moe's Tavern]] he says: "Sometimes you gotta go where everyone knows your name". This is a nod to the refrain of the opening theme of ''Cheers''.}}

{{TB| When Homer looks for a new bar one of them is the bar from ‘’Cheers”. [[Ted Danson]] ([[Sam Malone]]), [[Rhea Perlman]] ([[Carla Tortelli]]), [[John Ratzenberger]] ([[Cliff Clavin]]), [[George Wendt]] ([[Norm Peterson]]) and [[Woody Harrelson]] ([[Woody Boyd]]) all perform their respective characters. Also seen but without a speaking line is [[Frasier Crane]]. As the scene ends the opening bars of ''Cheers'' can be heard.}}

{{TB| The [[couch gag]] changes to many different sets of TV sitcoms. One of them is "Cheers", with The Simpsons in the role of main cast members. This gag would be re-used at the opening of ''[[Coming to Homerica]]'' and ''[[Moe Goes from Rags to Riches]]''.}}

{{TB| [[Marge]] and [[Homer]] try to reassure [[Bart]] by naming people who sound like [[Sideshow Bob]]: Frasier on ''Cheers'', Frasier on ''[[Frasier]]'', and Lt. Commander Tom Dodge on ''{{w|Down Periscope}}'' -- all three of whom were played by [[Kelsey Grammer]], who provides the voice of Sideshow Bob. }}

{{TB| The Simpsons travel to [[Boston]], which is where ‘’Cheers’ takes place, so there are quite some references made to the series, among others the theme song which is heard at various musical interludes. In a class room there is also a 'Cheers' periodic table. When the Boston Americans parade is held we can recognize the Cheers characters [[Cliff Clavin]], [[Carla Tortelli]] and [[Norm Peterson]] in the crowd. }}
