Cheers was my all-time favorite show until Seinfeld came along. But Cheers was first. Our HS senior song was the theme song from Cheers.

Though I guess the cynic in me might say the live audience could have been prepped or the scene reshot if they didn’t react, and the tv audience had the laughter to clue them in. but I prefer to think the former happened.

May 21May 21 I was today years old when I learned that George Wendt is Jason Sudeikis' uncle. I would say I will "pour one out" for Norm, but that would be sacrilege so I will stick with a simple RIP Norm!!
May 21May 21 I’ve been processing it. 76 is a good run especially for a guy born in the 1940’s. Cheers in my book, is the best comfort food show of all time. It’s always good for a laugh or a smile even on your worst day. George Wendt was a big part of that, and we’re all better for it. Rest in Peace Norm.

Our HS senior song was the theme song from Cheers. The 'goat' tv theme song!? What other ones can someone who has never seen the show still sing along with and enjoy? Wendt attended Campion High School, a Jesuit boarding school for boys in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, and then Notre Dame — until he was expelled with a 0.0 GPA as a junior. “I basically quit and didn’t inform the university,” he told The Kansas City Star in 2016. “I’d moved off campus my junior year, and I didn’t think it through. I didn’t have a car. It was cold. I never went to class.” https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/george-wendt-dead-cheers-norm-obit-1236222950/
