Had that show debuted today like that it would’ve been a goner immediately. But thankfully NBC gave it a second chance and “Cheers,” about bartender Sam Malone (played by this year’s Broady winner for Best Actor in a Comedy Series, Ted Danson, in his first TV starring role) and the crazy supporting characters that frequent his establishment, eventually caught in. It caught on so well that it would spend much of its run in the Nielsen top 10 and its series finale in 1993 is the fourth most watched TV finale of all-time. Part of the greatness of “Cheers” was the love-hate relationship between Sam and Diane (Shelley Long) that became one of TV’s all-time greatest will-they-or-won’t-theys. Also, every single character of the supporting cast from George Wendt’s beloved drunkard Norm, to Rhea Perlman’s suffer no fools waitress Carla, John Ratzenberger’s know-it-all-without-actually-knowing-much mailman Cliff and others were perfectly written. “Cheers” won 28 Emmy Awards during its run from 1982-1993, including Best Comedy Series four times. Six different members of the cast won acting Emmys. In 2002, TV Guide named “Cheers” as the 18th greatest TV show of all-time. In 2016, Rolling Stone ranked it as the 20th greatest show of all-time. And, television critics Alan Sepinwall and Matt Zoller Seitz in their 2016 book TV (The Book) ranked “Cheers” as the fourth greatest television show of all-time. Hall of Fame Legend: Mary Tyler Moore Mary Tyler Moore is likely television’s second great female comedy pioneer after 2016 Broady Award Hall of Fame recipient Lucille Ball. Moore starred in not one, but two great classic television sitcoms and showed the world in her second show “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” that women on television could be more than just stay-at-home mothers and housewives. From 1961-1966 Moore co-starred with Dick Van Dyke on CBS’ “The Dick Van Dyke Show” as Laura Petrie, the stay-at-home mom and wife of Van Dyke’s comedy writer Rob Petrie. Moore would win two Emmy awards for her performance on “The Dick Van Dyke Show” and upon receiving her first she would remark, “I know this will never happen again.” Moore would finish her career with seven Emmy wins. In the ‘70s it was Moore’s time to shine with a show featuring her own name in the title – “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” aired on CBS from 1970-1977 and featured Moore as Mary Richards, an unmarried independent woman (controversial for the time) focused more on her career as a television producer than family life. This show would win 29 Emmy Awards, which at the time was a record, including three years in a row for Outstanding Comedy Series. Moore would continue to act for years, including an Oscar-nominated performance in the 1980 Best Picture winner “Ordinary People.” Moore died at age 80 in 2017.
