    Danson underrates himself. "Sam Malone" was one of the best acted characters in sitcom history. Even as he was being a hound dog, you could still see his compassion and basic decency. It takes good writers, but also a great actor to capture and embody that kind of complexity.

      It could also be Ted Danson's basic decency coming through while acting the hound dog.

      There’s no contradiction between being a wonanizer and being a nice guy. Sam’s womanizing was practically a running joke. Like Dean Martin being a drunk. If anything, it made him more lovable. But when he was involved with Diane, he didn’t cheat on her. He didn’t hurt her.

      Cheers was good in spite of Ted Danson. Always a schmuck, cheesy, flimsy. Not even believable as a retired major league baseball player. Cheers succeeded anyway although it was mediocre at best.

      Absolutely still a great hilarious television 📺 experience 🎉. I remember parents watching this as I was growing up. Loved to sing the song back then but also totally enjoyed watching it also. Btw i went to the Cheers bar in the Anchorage Alaska airport in the early 90’s. Couldn’t drink but got to have a soda 🥤 and take photos with the plastic cast they had set up 😊

      I'd say at best he's just being "humble" -- You don't go through life being charismatic, attractive PLUS chose a career in the dramatic arts while still some how being shy and insecure. No way was May-Day Malone a fraud it was ego -centric casting and Danson had the right ego and talent for the part at the time.

      Weeelll...what's great about Sam and Diane is, Diane loves Sam because Sam seems to think she's as smart as she thinks she is. Sam loves Diane because Diane seems to think Sam is as handsome as he thinks he is. BUT--we, the audience, can see that Sam's success in dating is not primarily because of his looks. It's primarily because of his rather frantic efforts at seduction, which come from an insecurity about his looks, etc.

I'm binge watching Cheers this week, such fun! I didn't watch the show when it aired on NBC. I was raising two toddlers when the show started, and I was dead on my feet by 9pm when Cheers aired. But I'm having a blast now, finding the laughter therapeutic during some senior life challenges. How refreshing to see the real Ted!

      @@GruppeSechs A lifetime of amazing accomplishments on the screen but you focus on one single event to sour you on the guy. Kinda sad really. 'he wore blackface' is translated as 'he's a racist'. Well, did you know he was dating Whoopi Goldberg at the time? And the event was a friars club roast for her? Looking at the pics from the event she seemed to enjoy it. Hard to frame him as racist when viewed in context. But I have no doubt you will find a way to keep the butthurt going.

I seem to remember it actually being kind of a big deal when it first aired.

      He's still working in his Dream job at 71, Tony!! He's charming, professional and smart! You have to give respect to someone still getting what they want every day, in an industry that is so shallow, full of ageism and every "ism" you can think of! Don't be jealous because Ted Danson is Excelling at life. He's Ted Danson... ffs!🤦 🤣🤣✌️🤘

    If you ever pay attention to Cheers, Sam really makes the drinks that certain customers ask for. He did make a Manhattan and even added the cherry to the drink , all while saying lines. My favorite show ever.

      The scene where he questions the three guys on the road is freakin' intense. You're fairly sure he's going to live, because he's Ted Danson, but you're not *entirely* sure. And his character isn't sure either lol

  • @kathryn3390

    Freiser took a shot of whiskey after he was left at the alter by Diane in Italy, I can't think of any other instance where someone(main cast) drinks anything but beer, other than that one.

    • @epbrown01
      @epbrown01 Před 5 lety +19

      One of my favorite jokes was Diane taking forever to make a Bloody Mary and saying "Wow, this is has a lot of ingredients!" Sam: "Yeah, that's why we make 5 gallons before we open - what are you doing?" Carla: "Aw man! I wanted to see her try to make gin!"

    I haven't ever seen The Good Place and had no idea that it was doing so well. He's had 4 hit shows, including his stint on CSI (not a fan of that one personally). George Costanza was right to envy him. Ted has the magic touch. [Crap, now I have that stupid Transformers song in my head.]

    • @madeofmarble8514
      @madeofmarble8514 Před 5 lety +1

      It's doing okay for itself in ratings, but it's been widely acclaimed by critics. Like, the first 6 episodes are pretty good, and then the 7th and 8th episodes are some of the best episodes of TV ever in my opinion.
