Because some people believe
Cheers
is the best sitcom there ever was:

Plus:
"If you want to see a great pilot, watch the first episode of
Cheers
. It's charming, funny and well constructed."
Tina Fey, Bossypants
"Have you ever read the pilot? Its one of the most perfectly written." Amy Poehler (who called it "the best TV show there ever was" here:

I'd rather have written
Cheers
than anything I've written.
Kurt Vonnegut, author,
Slaughterhouse Five
.
No disrespect intended to those other things you mentioned, but, you know,
Cheers

if you watch her in cheers you will understand her massive appeal,it was a role in which she really shined in and played the part brilliantly. She created 1 of the best tv characters of all time. Besides that the writing was superb and the show was the top thing on television and indeed one of the best of all time and she was at the centre of it. After cheers, her projects were mediocre and could not come close to the excellence of diane chambers.

I agree with you ladisneyprincesse. I remember her best through movies like Susie Q, Freaky Friday, and Brady Bunch Movie. I got into Cheers just a month or two through reruns on TVGN. I really like her as Diane, too.

Cheers was absolutely amazing. A bona fide hit from the very start. No TV couple in history I'd rather watch fight, and make up, than Sam and Diane. Two people that have no Earthly business being together. But somehow, you can't help but root for them. Diane is one of the most neurotic, unbalanced, anger-inducing, nutcases that ever lived, but your heart just goes out to her. Even when you hate her, you still have to love her.
Some of the finest writing, finest acting, and most enduring characters in television history. Personally, I like 'Frasier' even better, but I would never begrudge a person the opposing opinion. Cheers was a treasure. Watching Sam and Diane (and the rest) bicker, banter, fight, break up, make up, etc. was absolute TV gold! -

''Cheers was not a hit in ratings terms. It ended its first season dead last in the ratings.''
yea not a hit for like 1 season but gradually became massive and went on to be 1 of the biggest shows of all time ratings wise.
