Think you know your classic sitcoms? This Cheers cast quiz tests whether you can separate the real members of the Boston bar crew from the actors who never worked on the show. It is a fun challenge for Hollywood fans, and the best way to answer it is to know the core ensemble well.
The Core Cast of Cheers
Cheers ran from 1982 to 1993 and built one of the most beloved ensembles in television history. The main cast included:
- Ted Danson as Sam Malone, the former ballplayer who owned the bar
- Shelley Long as Diane Chambers, the intellectual waitress
- Nicholas Colasanto as Coach, the lovable bartender
- Rhea Perlman as Carla Tortelli, the sharp-tongued waitress
- George Wendt as Norm Peterson, the regular who never left his stool
- John Ratzenberger as Cliff Clavin, the postal worker with endless trivia
Later Cast Members
As the show evolved, new faces joined the bar. Kirstie Alley played Rebecca Howe, Woody Harrelson played Woody Boyd, and Kelsey Grammer played psychiatrist Frasier Crane before getting his own spin-off. Bebe Neuwirth, Roger Rees and Jay Thomas also joined the regular cast in later seasons.
How to Check Any Name
When you face a question like this, compare each name against the regular cast of the show. Guest stars and actors who appeared in other sitcoms are often the trickiest options. If a name does not match a character from the bar, it is the one that was not in Cheers.
Use the list above to test your memory, then share your answer with friends and see who else can keep up with the regulars.
