Cheers Season 2 Changed The Iconic Show In 2 Major Ways With Its Very First Episode

Cheers season 2 premiere made two big changes to the sitcom, which proved to be helpful in the long run. It’s difficult to imagine that in its freshman year, Cheers was at the bottom of TV ratings. The Boston-set sitcom is regarded as one of the best comedies of all time, winning several Emmys and staging a finale, which had 40% of the US population in 1993 tuning in. However, NBC was on the brink of canceling the show, but because of the lack of potential replacement, the network didn’t have any choice but to keep it going for a second season.
