Colasanto's character was written out of the show as also having died. The fourth-season premiere episode, "Birth, Death, Love and Rice" (1985), deals with Coach's death and introduces Colasanto's successor Woody Harrelson, who played Woody Boyd.[24] Colasanto had hung a picture of Geronimo in his dressing room; after his death it was placed on the wall in the bar of the Cheers production set in his memory. Near the end of the final episode of Cheers in 1993, eight years after Colasanto's death, bar owner Sam Malone (Ted Danson) walks over to the picture and straightens it.[25]

You won't find a more loveable soul than Nicholas Colasanto.

What do you mean, "for Jorge but not now"? When should I click that? Will I just... know?!

Yes. You will know exactly when. You’ve still got a bit to go, but you’ll know.

The character was already named “Woody Boyd” before Woody Harrelson was cast, or so Harrelson has said.

I love Carla

Diane is pretty insufferable, but I think she's supposed to be. At least in the early episodes

I'm currently watching The Great, Season 2, and can't help but think of Sam and Diane.

I can see now how awful Diane really is (and yeah, Carla is terrific), but man she really did it for me when I was a pretentious young college dropout sipping chai and PMing Mickey about Proust.

For me Cheers hit its stride midway through season two and up through Shelly Long’s departure. There plenty of good Kirstie Alley episodes but I never liked how they tried to force Sam & Rebecca relationship at times.

Somehow I remembered Norm being a lot more boorish. But he's very lovable

Sam's bar slide is impressive but his pours are atrocious. 80% foam in that thing
