Cheers is a fantastic show. Yes, it takes place at a bar and yes, there are quite a few innuendoes and what-not, but there are also a lot of great values. Cheers is about friendship more than anything, regardless of gender, class, intellect, etc. I actually think this is a great show to teach children about acceptance. For example, it shows that a lazy, unemployed "barfly" (Norm), a self-observed, womanising, bartender (Sam), and a rigid, demure, socially-inept psychiatrist (Lilith), all have hearts of gold and are very good friends. Cheers is a very warm environment, you feel very close to the characters, and can relate to at least one of them. Cheers is a gem, especially compared to the trash that's on television today (Family Guy, the Vampire Diaries, Jersey Shore, etc.)
