Clips of Ted Danson playing Sam Malone in Cheers. Featuring Sam Malone, Diane Chambers, Ernie Pantusso, Carla Tortelli, Cliff Clavin and Norm Peterson / roxycakes
the actor who played Sam's gay former teammate is Carlos Brown, also known as Alan Autry, former Green Bay Packers quarterback and later the mayor of Fresno, California.
One of the biggest surprises from an actor I ever heard was Ted Danson admitting that playing Sam Malone terrified him. Apparently he is _nothing_ like this guy, and was riven with doubt about whether he could do it, and then whether he was doing it right. That just amazed me, because Sam is one of the most natural sitcom characters I've seen - his effortless ease with himself is so tasty. Speaks volumes of how good Danson is at his job.
I too saw an interview where he discusses this and agree, it's so surprising as he is such a deft hand at this role. Additionally, he comes across as very thoughtful and smart during interviews, very self-aware - the kind of person, who doesn't take things for granted, so perhaps one can see that he wouldn't just be cocky about it.
Well its actually quite common, after all they're actors. The producers had there doubts as well, but the liked the chemistry with Shelly, and after dong Taxi, they felt it critical to have a romance at the center of the show.
I used to watch Cheers with my dad, I didn't understand most of the jokes but I still loved it because my dad was dying laughing and I just laughed along with him. Seeing it again as an adult I get why he was laughing so much.
i was the exact same way, but with Frasier. My mom would howl with laughter, and i wouldn't get the humor. Grown up, that show is a riot! it's better than cheers.
One of my favorite scenes..Diane comes to work late, said she was up late the previous night "finishing off Kierkegaard" ... Sam says "I hope he thanked you for it." rofl
Cheers was so great. It wasn't a show where major stuff happened but it was just so well written with so many great characters and perfectly cast.The witty zingers and one liners were the best. The Sam and Diane chemistry was great. I think the change with adding Kirstie Alley gave the show legs where it was able to last 11 seasons. Though I prefer to revisit the Diane episodes more often the early seasons with Kirstie were great too. It kind of became a different show after Shelly left but change was probably needed at that point. The Sam and Diane will they or won't they kind of ran its course. The episode where Diane leaves and Sam imagines them together as an old married couple always chokes me up.
Think your analysis of Cheers is spot on. Think the decision to show Sam and Diane as an old married couple who found their bliss despite being polar opposites, was genius. Gave us, fans, who were rooting for Sam and Diane a glimpse of a "happy ending."
@@lnl3237 Thanks and I agree. I kind of wish they would have brought Shelley Long back for more of or the whole final season somehow. It would have been interesting to see her interact with Rebecca and the old crew again. Although I'm not sure how they could have done that with her now being a somewhat successful writer at that point...and without her working at the bar even if her and Sam started dating again.
@@STONESGAM It is fun to speculate, isn't it? It was good to see Diane and Sam together one last time in the final episode, but it was clear they "couldn't go home again." Fascinating to me to read the comments after a Cheers video focusing on Diane. Her character was really a bit of a Rorschach test; some find her insufferable and were glad to see her leave and others got such a kick out of her "misfit status" in the bar. She was drawn to all things poetic and cerebral, but also yearned to be one of the gang and help the other "misfits" grow and find happiness...and she clearly possessed a libido where Sam was concerned! Love her or hate her, one still had to acknowledge Shelley Long was brilliant in the role. I have to trust that her leaving after five years was all for the best. She was in her late 30's and the window of playing romantic leads in film was closing. Had she stayed, I'm sure the writers would've given us a couple more enjoyable years of Sam and Diane finding their marital footing and then comically showing their different parenting styles; I doubt the show would've lasted six more years. Kirstie Alley was a deft comedic actress whose off-screen personality must've gelled better with the cast, but I honestly believe, Cheers would not have found its legs early on had Shelley Long not inhabited the role of Diane Chambers. Thanks again for your post and responding to me. So grateful to have fellow-fans forty years later to chat with about characters we came to know and love!
@@lnl3237 Yes, I agree that they couldn't go home again although they tried. Sam and Diane really had nothing in common and I think once Diane was not working at the bar anymore and they didn't have their day to day banter about the people at the bar and the events that were going on there probably wasn't much left other than the physical attraction....which was becoming slightly less important as they grew older. If they had moved away together at that point after having not seeing each other for 6 years it likely would have been a disaster. They were trying to rekindle a period in their lives that was now gone. I did enjoy the Diane character and thought Shelly played the role perfectly. She was also responsible for bringing the great Frasier Crane into the bar. Nice chatting with a fellow Cheers fan!
I normally prefer English sitcoms, over American ... but Cheers can be listed as one of the my all-time favorite. The cast was superb, the writing was spot on and the comedy presented never dated. In 2020 it is still so funny! Thank you for the upload.
I think CHEERS is much more enjoyable in repeats than SEINFELD and I think the reason is that there's a warmth about the show that Seinfeld never tried to create and for good reason. I'm saying this as a person who has Cheers 1 and Seinfeld 2.
... wonder if she ever learned to speak Australian?? As it happens, I myself am a 'world traveler', fluent in both Australian & Canadian ( after YEARS of diligent study, of course! )
@@brigidvanparys2062 The Becker-Reggie seasons are best, the coming of Chris just made it feel way too much like Diane-Cheers again. Also, despite despising Bob at first, him leaving also left a void.

I'll have to watch the show again to find some good ones in the later years, because i struggle to remember the best episodes. With Cheers the banter in the earlier seasons was fresher and funnier, once Rebecca entered, the show wasn't as sharp anymore, but at least the dreadful Diane drama was gone. Which gave it the lasting power for another couple of years, although maybe they did go on for a year too long, and if they had cut the Diane years short, they might've struggled to make it to 10 seasons. But thinking back on Becker, i can't remember if there were any improvements after Reggie left.
He is so sexy to me. He's confident and witty 😍😍. Ted said he wasn't confident at all with the role that's crazy. He seemed so smooth and effortlessly cool
This program is outstanding theatre & work, flawless performance after performance with a live audience, it’s so professional it’s a hysterical achievement & acting challenge. The encyclopedia of understatements comes to mind, always, from some long sheltered, locked, sealed away, secret remote room in my head, in the palace & palladium that is….my psyche.😂❤️🔒🔐

There's a scene in the show where Fraser is lamenting that therr are no true American heroes left and Sammy walk into the bar to introduce his dates for the night. And the bar erupts into chants of "Sammy! Sammy! Sammy!" Just brilliant tv
@@cyanes I'm paying 13.99 for cheers , frasier , letterkenny , its always sunny in Philadelphia, married with children, will and grace , just shoot me , seinfeld , my name is earl . Fargo , Bob newharr show etc .
I took Ted Danson for granted during this era. I mean, he was up against Alan Alda, Bob Newhart, etc. All legends. TD as Sam Malone was pure gold. One interesting aspect, going back and watching, is the hair piece. I think NASA was involved with his hair piece. ha,ha! He and Burt Reynolds probably fed and educated 40 families and advanced 'fake hair technology' by 20 years with their money and influence. I love it! Miss the good ol' days.....
Angela was found dead at a friend's home Nov 27,1988. The coroner believed it was from a deterioration of the heart muscle probably from a virus. She was only 32 at the time.
She was a Very Lovely Lady. I was heartbroken to find out about Her. Because for years I have paid very close attention to the Supporting Players. For instance, Ted Danson, Rhea Perlman, and George Wendt all had Guest or Recurring appearances on "Taxi." Just as Peri Gilpin and John Mahoney had Guest appearances on "Cheers" before they joined Kelsey Grammer on the cast of "Frasier."B.W.
i don't know if somebody has already said or imagined this before, but i think Sam Malone's face actually inspired the cartunist of Raoh's face in Hokuto no Ken, and his older brother's (from Raoh's) too..
Seinfeld was my all-time favorite, Cheers was second, Barney Miller third, then Married with Children, followed by Mash. Holy shit ... How did I get so old?
The thing about Cheers, like Taxi before it, was it was a true ensemble comedy. But the extra layer in Cheers was the characters were so different, that you could have so many different kinds of humor, because you had such different characters. Highbrow, lowbrow, slapstick, screwball, raunchy, sophomoric, puns, dad jokes ... You had everything. That's why I have Cheers up there with Seinfeld in my pantheon. Seinfeld is better IMHO, because it had way better and smarter writing, but Cheers holds its own.
We allowed stupidity to gain control of our sensibilities and sense of humour and the ability to laugh at ourselves. Now we have the crap on TV i can't stomach. Revolt against PC.
Okay, I just bought the complete series on TH-cam....I used to watch it every night (as background noise) going to sleep, for nearly 10 years on Netflix (starting April of 2011)....then Netflix removed Cheers just a few days ago (now its at CBS All Access). Girlfriends come over to --sleep-- fuck, and they always ask or say, "What are you watching?" or "I know that old show!" Ahahahah I'm watching it before bed as we speak at 2am, July 5, 2020 LOL
@@gnsports3720 I was mad too! I already have Starz, HBOmax, Cinemax, Prime Videos, TH-cam Red, Showtime, etc....I wasn't going to pay for another just for 1 show - with commercials - the only problem with TH-cam, is that the shows keeps running all night. With Netflix, it would run 4 episodes (I'm asleep by then) and stop to ask, "You still watching"....so its odd to wake up to Cheers LOL
Loved Angela Aames playing Brandee the moment l 've seen her on Disc 1 of Season 1, especially when she smoked. Shame she tragically died on the 27th November 1988, due to a deterioration of the heart muscle, probably caused by a virus
@@RoxyCakes I wrote another comment in one of yourcontributions. I remember watching whole Cheers shows about 5-6 years ago on YT. It was reliable and great. As I was watching it, one day it was all of the sudden gone. I was there that moment when they took it all down. I was disappointed. Now YT is wanting for you to pay $2 for an episode. not cool. So thanks for putting this on.
@Wayne Smith Norman Lear would still be in jail after creating Archie. Followed by very heavy fines and numerous settlements. Everybody's feeling uncomfortable today.
When clips of older shows are posted, most folks just like to reminisce about how cool it was or how funny or how good the actors were, or whatever. But there's always that one guy who feels compelled to whine about how the world's changed. Thing is, change is what the world does. We can either adapt or cry about it.
That was Julia Duffy. She was actually one of the actresses who auditioned for the role of Diane Chambers before Shelley Long got the role. Duffy would later go on to be Stephanie Vanderkellen in Newhart, replacing Jennifer Holmes' character of Leslie Vanderkellen, Stephanie's cousin.
the actor who played Sam's gay former teammate is Carlos Brown, also known as Alan Autry, former Green Bay Packers quarterback and later the mayor of Fresno, California.
Wish posts like yours were far more prevalent on comment boards. Thanks for the additional info.
Also played in the Heat of the Night.

But he'll be remembered for "In the Heat of the Night" and "Grace Under Fire" among the dozens of other roles he played.

similar to Mal in Firefly, he doubted the role was really him but he nails it completely.
or it's just Michael in a rebirth
A lot of actors being out this bs as if to say it’s can be difficult to play a barman

Sadly they don't make sitcoms like Cheers anymore. Sitcoms today are nonsense.
Totally the same! I'd hear their laughter and chime in, not knowing what it was about.
watching cheers and fraiser is like getting a nice warm hug
I know, you can watch no matter what mood you're in and it just makes you feel calm and happy!😊☺
@@moonpie21012 Great writers
😊
Beautiful comment!
And Seinfeld!
Probably the best written sitcom of all time. Later programmes got their inspiration from Cheers.
The first two seasons of Cheers were the best two first seasons of any show ever for my money. Tremendously acted and written.
One of my favorite scenes..Diane comes to work late, said she was up late the previous night "finishing off Kierkegaard" ... Sam says "I hope he thanked you for it." rofl
Cheers was probably the sharpest written show in all of TV. I started watching it from the first show & recommended it to others.
Frasier was way better. It was dry and sarcastic and more intelligent humour. Cheers was too easy and predicatable.
@@Amp661 Yeah…no.
@@sec9788 ummm....yes
Thanks for the memories of 1980s the best show ever Cheers 😍🇵🇹🥃❤️
I used to watch Cheers when it first came out. Those were great times in my life, so I bought the complete DVD collection.
Wow. I haven't seen cheers for over thirty years. It's funnier now that I pay attention to things.
Not funny at all dude your generation had a dull sense of humor

Didn’t he spend a brief moment of one episode as a bartender?
@@kylestubbs8867 Yes he did. I was watching with my wife when I yelled out "Cheers!"
Lol...one of my favorite shows ever. When I saw him in "Saving Private Ryan", I didn't even recognize him until I watched it a second time!
i used to watch Frasier as a kid but just today i've learned it is a spinoff from this series(that i didn't even knew it existed).
This seems great!
This show is in my top 3 sitcoms of all time.
My 3 would be Taxi, Cheers & Sanford and Sons. Frazier came later so did not include it.
Seinfeld, Cheers and for me the Cosby show. I'm talking about the show not Bill and what he did.
Mine would be Cheers, Frazier and Married with Children
Cheers, Frasier and controversially Friends its not on a par with the top 2 but I still love it!

I already have Starz, HBOmax, Cinemax, Prime Videos, TH-cam Red, Showtime, etc....I wasn't going to pay for another just for 1 show - with commercials - the only problem with TH-cam, is that the shows keeps running all night. With Netflix, it would run 4 episodes (I'm asleep by then) and stop to ask, "You still watching"....so its odd to wake up to Cheers LOL
2:06 that geeky laugh! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
Loved Angela Aames playing Brandee the moment l 've seen her on Disc 1 of Season 1, especially when she smoked. Shame she tragically died on the 27th November 1988, due to a deterioration of the heart muscle, probably caused by a virus
stunner, but the smoking turned me off
For a bar, the ambient noise is quiet.
Sam is like many guys I met so I feel very "at home" can't say I like it though 😅
Miss Cheers
Oh Michael
Let's be real here we all wanted Sam's little black book lol.
Is that blonde bombshell Angela Aames?
Yes. RIP
@@c17nav I thought I recognized her... and I certainly knew she died well before the Turn of the Millenium.
Thanks for posting. Post more!pls
Working on it!
@@RoxyCakes I wrote another comment in one of yourcontributions. I remember watching whole Cheers shows about 5-6 years ago on YT. It was reliable and great. As I was watching it, one day it was all of the sudden gone. I was there that moment when they took it all down. I was disappointed. Now YT is wanting for you to pay $2 for an episode. not cool.
So thanks for putting this on.
Sam"s character is actually an 'ex' alcoholic ..I remember an episode when someone says 'oh ho Sam's boozing again'...
Funny, I stopped watching TV about a decade ago...
I don’t remember cheers being this funny, way back when,it hilarious
Angela Aames died of cardiovascular disease at 26 ?????? That's a damn shame.
She was 26 in this appearance, died six years later at 32 in 1988. Still sad.
It's on channel 4 at 7.15am in England. Double bill.
Rest in Peace Kirstie Alley
They love each other cheers never be the same when she left
I like the episode when Sam says "I don't have sandals, what you want me to do, wears turkeys on my feet?"
I love that purple angora sweater/dress the blonde actress is wearing. its amazing...hope to buy one in my size one day.
The most promiscuous male character in sitcoms along with Joey in F.R.E.I.N.D.S.
i would put Schmidt from New Girl on that list
and Benjamin Franklin Pierce from M*A*S*H, of course
"The Fonz" Anyone?😂🏍😏📺B.W.
Sam almost married Captain Janeway.
The beautiful young woman at about 1:00 is Angela Aames. Sadly died at 32 years old of a heart problem. She was 26 here.
This is a good tv show 😆
Great 👍 comedy 👏
Sam was storming the castle very often before he meets Diane.
"Diane Chambers" = wife
"Chicks" = love
I met Ted Danson at paramount studios.
I never realized how much Ted Danson playing Sam sounds like Anthony Jeselnik.
Breaking The Envelope
First it was Pushing the Envelope
Can we all imagine how many lawsuits would pop up looking for a settlement over harassment, if this could even made in today's "Me Too" era.
@Wayne Smith Norman Lear would still be in jail after creating Archie. Followed by very heavy fines and numerous settlements. Everybody's feeling uncomfortable today.
women dont want a man, hashtag me too!!
When clips of older shows are posted, most folks just like to reminisce about how cool it was or how funny or how good the actors were, or whatever. But there's always that one guy who feels compelled to whine about how the world's changed. Thing is, change is what the world does. We can either adapt or cry about it.
@@halleck3 true we could just change it ourselves Iran used to be very liberal now not so much
@@benjamindenton9453 When was this?
Quality we don't now days.
Very epic video delightful. Keep it up.
Thanks, will do!
im 24 but man this shit is funny asf especially with a few drinks and a good smoke lmao
I'm not a baseball fan per se, I love Cheers.
I'm not a shinty fan per se*, I love "Blade Runner."

Who's the female blond with glasses. She's been in other shows
That was Julia Duffy.
She was actually one of the actresses who auditioned for the role of Diane Chambers before Shelley Long got the role.
Duffy would later go on to be Stephanie Vanderkellen in Newhart, replacing Jennifer Holmes' character of Leslie Vanderkellen, Stephanie's cousin.
I searched for full episodes of Cheers, these are not full episodes, how does YT let this persist?
Wild animal passion😉😉
