Over 30 years after its 11-season run came to an end, Cheers is still considered to be one of the best sitcoms of all time . The TV show following the regulars at the title bar was anchored by Ted Danson ’s Sam Malone, and in Season 3, Cheers introduced Kelsey Grammer’s Dr. Frasier Crane, who would go on to lead his own successful 11-season show and is now reprising his beloved character on the Paramount+ subscription -exclusive Frasier revival.
However, just because Sam and Frasier were on friendly terms with each other on Cheers (most of that time) doesn’t mean that Danson and Grammer always were. In fact, the former recently apologized to the latter for an argument that happened decades ago. Danson and Woody Harrelson , who played Woody Boyd on Cheers , host the Where Everybody Knows Your Name podcast together, and their latest episode saw them catching up with Grammer.
During the trio’s conversation, Danson admitted that he “got stuck a little bit” with Grammer during the Cheers years, as he had “a memory of getting angry” at the Frasier actor once. After Grammer noted that he knew what Danson was talking about, The Good Place alum continued: And it's stuck in both of our memories. But I feel like, fuck, I don't know.
I missed out on the last 30 years of Kelsey Grammer and I feel like it's my bad, my doing, and I almost feel like apologizing to you. I know I feel like, I apologize to you and me that I sat back, you know, and didn't, and I really do apologi.
