This or Cheers


Which is better

This always made me laugh more.

They're both different. But both good.

Frasier is probably smarter, but does manage to balance highbrow comedy with quite silly comedy and farce.

Cheers is more generic, but the characters are likeable enough for it to work.

If I had to pick a favourite, I'd go with Frasier. I probably watch that more often than Cheers. But not isnulting either.

I think "Cheers." As much as I loved "Frasier," I think there was a drop in the quality of the show after Niles and Daphne finally got together (not that there weren't some great episodes after that...but not as many as the earlier seasons).

"Cheers" never had that. It's one of the very few shows that never suffered a drop in quality (i.e., "jumped the shark" 🦈). It was still a great show in its last season (even though I don't like the way it ended). So, I say "Cheers."
