Cheers - Season 1

Cheers - Season 1

Season 1

Cheers premiered in 1982 and the story about a blue-collar Boston bar run by former sports star Sam Malone and the quirky and wonderful people who worked and drank there quickly captured America's heart. In its first season Sam and pampered new waitress Diane Chambers deal with their mutually growing crush while handling a parade of strange customers. Bar know-it-all Cliff Clavin, perpetually unemployed yet ever-present Norm Peterson, cranky and down-to-earth waitress Carla, and bartender Ernie 'Coach' Pantusso round out the eccentric main cast. Be sure to watch "Diane's Perfect Date," where Sam and Diane dare to find each other's perfect date, as well as the season finale "Showdown," where Diane falls for Sam's older brother.
