- Quotes
Woody Boyd: [the telephone at the bar rings and Woody picks it up] Cheers.
[pauses to listen]
Woody Boyd: Yes ma'am, right away.
Woody Boyd: [to Carla] There's some lady screaming her head off.
Carla Tortelli: What she want?
Woody Boyd: I don't know. All I can make out was two-timing.
Carla Tortelli: [yells] Sam. Telephone.
Carla Tortelli: Woody, listen up and learn something.
Sam Malone: [Woody hands the telephone to Sam] Sammy here.
Sam Malone: Oh, hey, I thought you'd like those flowers.
Sam Malone: Yeah, no, no, that sounds like my note, "Thanks for a wonderful evening Barbara, I had a great time."
Sam Malone: Well of course I know your name's Karen.
Sam Malone: Ah, you know, I see your mistake here. You see, you didn't realize that to me Barbara means Karen.
Sam Malone: Well, because, because, ah, because Barbara reminds me of Barbra Streisand, and you know that song about people.
Sam Malone: Well, I am getting to it. Um, you know the line "first be a person who needs people"? Well, who was the first person?
Sam Malone: Well, all right, no, no, the first female person was Eve. And who's the most famous Eve of all but Christmas Eve, right?
Sam Malone: Yeah, what do you do on Christmas Eve but you go carolin', right?
Sam Malone: No, I know, I know your name's not Caroline. But after you go carolin', what you do is you 'karen' in the gifts.
Sam Malone: Yeah, yeah, well, apology accepted, sweetheart. Talk to you in a bit.

The plot is standard sitcom, with Cheers' writers and actors showing what they could do with otherwise worn-out ideas.
The most-interesting character is Cliff's co-worker, Lucas, played by Timothy Scott (usually billed as Tim Scott). The reason he looks so tall is not so much that he /is/ tall, but that everyone else is so short. The heights given in IMDb are exaggerated. For example...
Tom Skerritt is listed as 6', but I'm 5'9", and almost tower over him. (He's a cute li'l scudder, 'bout 5'5".) Ted Danson is listed as 6'2", but in scenes with Skerritt, it's obvious he's only slightly taller.
As Lucas, Scott resembles a badly wasted hippie, whose conversation is a series of near-incomprehensible mumbles. His best-known role was as Pea-Eye Parker in "Lonesome Dove", absolutely perfect casting.
