Who are your favorite cast members from Cheers? (Multiple choice)

1. Sam: Ted Danson was indeed brilliant. The bit where he dreams that he’s about to score with Rebecca, but can’t get his pants off…so he utlizes the fireplace poker for assistance? Makes me laugh out loud just thinking about it.

2. Cliff. Two favorite Cliff moments: “Shiny shoes…” & him trying to get into Diane’s dress by singing “Misty” to her.

3. Coach. Favorite Coach scene was mentioned by Folacin above.

Lilith. She’s smokin hot and has a brain.

It’s kind of a shame Frasier didn’t feature her more often.

Dianne isn’t doing well in the poll, but I thought she was great.

Well that might be a result of the word “favorite” in the poll. Is Diane someone I’d like to have dinner with. No! I’d probably strangle her. But she was a great character.

@Baal_Houtham

Interestingly Lilith is doing very well in this poll. I think that’s a manifestation of the SDMB’s attraction to smart women.

Well Diane was really smart too. I guess smart+cold > smart+annoying.

I saw this show on it’s original run. I never missed it if I could avoid it. It was one of my favorites. I have no idea who Paul Krapence was.

Okay, I found some pictures. I know who he was. I even remember that he was named Paul. But I don’t recall a last name ever being mentioned.

@Mahaloth

By the way, I didn’t vote for him, but I did like the running joke that Paul misses everything.

Why was he never added as full cast member on that show?

You just answered your own question.

Norm!

Norm!

My favorite Norm scene…

[spoiler]There’s an episode where the gang is at a bowling alley, bowling in some competition (my memories are a bit hazy on the details). Attached to the bowling alley is a bar, Norm walks in and everyone shouts “Norm!”.

Later, the gang confronts him and asks “How do these people know you?!”

“I have a life, you know,” he replies.[/spoiler]

Yes indeedy.

Woody called him Mr. Krapence. Woody called just about everybody but Sam and Carla by title and last name.

One of my favorite exchanges (paraphrasing from memory):
Diane: “Methinks thou protest too much.”

Woody: “Shouldn’t that be ‘I think’, Miss Chambers?”

Diane: “Not in your case, Woody.”
mmm

[Folacin]

My favorite Norm scene:

Somebody walks into the bar, and says he hasn’t been there for years (10? 20? at least before Sam bought the place). He commented on some feature of the bar. Sam was confused - the old timer says: Right behind Norm.

One of my favorite exchanges (paraphrasing from memory):

Woody: “Shouldn’t that be ‘I think’, Miss Chambers?”

Diane: “Not in your case, Woody.”

As I recall, Woody’s correction was:

“Shouldn’t that be I thinks?”

It was Carla who supplied the punchline.

Yeah, that sounds right. Thanks.

Since we’re sharing Norm stories, here’s one of my favorites.

Norm was sitting at the bar talking to Sam and he says “You know, some people have no life. Some guy sat next to me here for 6 hours yesterday!”
