To me, this is the best damn theme song in television history.

Was that song connected to the play?

Barney Miller theme?

"That's Shakespeare..."

Also, Felix is the one who taught me that when you assume, you make an ass out of u and me.

Never watched the show as it was a bit before my time, but ******* was Tony Randall a funny talk show guest.

So I spent some time researching that this morning, and apparently it was original for the show and was done by the guy who had created the Batman theme song. It also has lyrics that were never used.

Also, Also, the opening narration wasn’t added until after five episodes because the network started to fear people would think the show was about two gay men.

One thing I noticed while watching "Odd Couple" reruns -- you could understand the plot of each episode with the TV's sound off.

The original MASH TV show cast was at least as good as the movie. After about 5 seasons the show took itself too seriously.

Two classics: the Cheers episode when Cliff goes on “Jeopardy” and when Felix and Oscar are on “Password.”

As much as I like the “Jeopardy” episode, my favorite is when Norm get the job at the brewery.
It’s Friday and the foreman is handing out paychecks and Norm goes “Oh, I can’t accept this, sir.”

One time Robert Altman was asked what he thought of the TV show
He said he liked the movie better but the character he wished he had was Klinger

Was going to guess Dukes of Hazard, but the movie it was based isnt considered great.

Agree the TV series was good for the first several season. But the movie was better than the TV show at its best.

MASH for the first three seasons with Henry and Trapper were best
Nothing against Potter and BJ but that was the demarcation line

My favorite Cheers episodes were the Bar Wars with Gary’s Olde Towne Tavern.

I loved it when the gang gave up trying to beat Gary so they teamed up with him to prank Sam. You think that’s the end of it, then a season later, Sam gets revenge on his friends out of the blue.
