== Merge theme song? == ==Merge theme song?==

The story behind the creation of “Where Everybody Knows Your Name” is a most interesting one. In so severely condensing it, you deprive potential readers of any real appreciation for the unlikely and serendipitous sequence of events that led to the song’s birth. Your abridgement might be adequate for the “Cheers” page, where some readers may have no more than a peripheral interest in the theme song relative to the series as a whole. But why deprive the many others who are specifically interested in “Where Everybody Knows Your Name”- and who actively seek it out on Misplaced Pages- from enjoying reading about its genesis in greater (and clearer) detail? A quick search around Misplaced Pages reveals hundreds upon hundreds of entries for individual songs whose life spans were far shorter- and their impact far less reaching- than those of “Where Everybody Knows Your Name” (both on AND off the TV series). If “Me and You and a Dog Name Boo” merits its own Misplaced Pages page, then certainly “Where Everybody Knows Your Name” does. Its presence on Misplaced Pages should not be unduly minimized simply because it was a part of a hit show.

== Season One Ratings == ==Season One ratings==

I find the ] for the first season of '']'' to be a bit confusing. When I first read this Misplaced Pages page, it said that ''Cheers'' ranked 74th out of 77 shows in the spring of 1983, but in the ratings chart it said the series ranked 71st in the ratings (The #71 was later changed to #74). Which is correct? In reading the ] page, I find both of these to be incorrect. I have researched and figure that both the rankings of #71 and #74 to be too low. When you add the Nielsen ratings (which Misplaced Pages has provided) for the first season's 22 episodes together (and then divide them by 22), you get 12.972, or 13 if you round it, but the ratings chart of the ''Cheers'' entirety page reads the first season averaged a 7.16 rating. With this, is it possible ''Cheers'' achieved higher ratings during its initial season? I am not saying Misplaced Pages is wrong, but the information (from my point-of-view) is inconsistent. The authors should definitely revise it. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 01:05, 28 April 2014 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> I find the ] for the first season of '']'' to be a bit confusing.

Merging Frasier Crane and Lilith Sternin?

I have proposed a merger of two articles. Please click Talk:Frasier Crane for discussion. --George Ho (talk) 17:24, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

Edit request on 14 October 2012 (norms tab reference)

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Under the Other Reoccuring themes section "In one episode Rebecca reveals his tab as being nearly $300." should be "In one episode Rebecca reveals his tab as being $837 over his credit limit." Because this is what she states in the 1st 4 minutes in Season 6 Episode 6 "Paint your office". 71.194.200.107 (talk) 03:13, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

Administrator, this theme is too trivial and too fanatic to be included. This request is nothing more than just a trivial inclusion without point and merit. This request is not what general readers need to know significant. Also, this request has no significance; calling this a theme may be original research. --George Ho (talk) 03:18, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
Not done: I don't see that the information you want added is notable to the extent that it should be included in the article. However if a consensus is achieved here feel free to add it. On another note I'm not an admin. Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 11:41, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

Merge theme song?

The story behind the creation of “Where Everybody Knows Your Name” is a most interesting one. In so severely condensing it, you deprive potential readers of any real appreciation for the unlikely and serendipitous sequence of events that led to the song’s birth. Your abridgement might be adequate for the “Cheers” page, where some readers may have no more than a peripheral interest in the theme song relative to the series as a whole. But why deprive the many others who are specifically interested in “Where Everybody Knows Your Name”- and who actively seek it out on Misplaced Pages- from enjoying reading about its genesis in greater (and clearer) detail? A quick search around Misplaced Pages reveals hundreds upon hundreds of entries for individual songs whose life spans were far shorter- and their impact far less reaching- than those of “Where Everybody Knows Your Name” (both on AND off the TV series). If “Me and You and a Dog Name Boo” merits its own Misplaced Pages page, then certainly “Where Everybody Knows Your Name” does. Its presence on Misplaced Pages should not be unduly minimized simply because it was a part of a hit show. Rather, it should be celebrated for taking off on its own from the launching pad that was “Cheers.” — Preceding unsigned comment added by FaithinHim (talkcontribs) 04:31, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

This song is well-known, but the article "Where Everybody Knows Your Name" wouldn't stay strong as a stand-alone. I have added a section "Theme song" in this main article, and I don't think that the charts could help strengthen the song article as much as could strengthen the series article. If details are trimmed down, then the results would be too short, sans the image. Extended time for more discussion. --George Ho (talk) 20:49, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

The song may be well-known, but the article "Where Everybody Knows Your Name" is too many unnecessary details and looks mergeable without lyrics. If merged, or before merging, maybe I could skim down details and cite any detail available. --George Ho (talk) 06:33, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

While obviously forever linked to the show, this song has long since gone on to live its own life. Its appeal- and, more importantly, its imprint in the "fabric" of Americana- more than qualify it to be treated as its own entity. In this instance, what one person deems "unnecessary details" are arguably of great interest to many. I say leave it as is. FaithinHim (talk) 18:28, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Oppose merger. Agreed with previous posters that it likely stands alone per reasons stated, that the song and its lyrics have become independently notable. Just because the two articles would support one another doesn't necessarily mean they should merge. Also, the theme song article alone is getting 150-200 hits per day, which is really very good for any article; it also likely means many aren't getting sufficient info on the main page. That said, when in doubt, safer to leave it be. Further, I see no reason to trim down the "details", concurring with the previous poster.Morgan Riley (talk) 22:57, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Season One ratings

I find the Nielsen ratings for the first season of Cheers to be a bit confusing. When I first read this Misplaced Pages page, it said that Cheers ranked 74th out of 77 shows in the spring of 1983, but in the ratings chart it said the series ranked 71st in the ratings (The #71 was later changed to #74). Which is correct? In reading the Cheers Season One page, I find both of these to be incorrect. I have researched and figure that both the rankings of #71 and #74 to be too low. When you add the Nielsen ratings (which Misplaced Pages has provided) for the first season's 22 episodes together (and then divide them by 22), you get 12.972, or 13 if you round it, but the ratings chart of the Cheers entirety page reads the first season averaged a 7.16 rating. With this, is it possible Cheers achieved higher ratings during its initial season? I am not saying Misplaced Pages is wrong, but the information (from my point-of-view) is inconsistent. The authors should definitely revise it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.221.35.36 (talk) 01:05, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
