This may be difficult for many of us to believe, but Cheers went off the air almost 35 years ago after 275 episodes. The classic sitcom included a cast of characters who truly seemed to love each other as much as they loved their seat at the bar. Ted Danson starred as bartender Sam Malone, and Kelsey Grammer played psychiatrist and Cheers’ patron Frasier Crane. Sam and Frasier often sparred alongside memorable characters like Carla Tortelli, Norm Peterson, and Cliff Clavin.

Everybody knew their names, and we all wanted to be part of the Cheers crowd. But it appears Ted Danson and Kelsey Grammer had a bit of a falling out three decades ago, and life changed.
Ted Danson and Kelsey Grammer Reunited On Recent Podcast Episode
Ted and Woody Harrelson, who played Woody Boyd on Cheers, host the Where Everybody Knows Your Name podcast and invited Kelsey in as a guest. The former co-stars talked about their spat.
Ted Danson told Kelsey Grammer, “I feel like I got stuck a little bit with you during the Cheers years. I have a memory of getting angry at you once.”
Kesey recalled, “You told me that one day, and that was good.”
Ted recalled, “And it’s stuck in both of our memories. But I feel like, 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. No, I apologize to you and me. I sat back and I really do apologize.”
Kelsey Grammer then reminded Ted Danson of something he told him that profoundly impacted him many years ago. “You said something wonderful to me that I always quote to other people. When I turned 40, you came up to me and said, ‘You know what it means, don’t you now that you’re 40? It means you’re finally worth having a conversation with.’ That was brilliant. I have always loved that, and I repeated it.”
Kelsey added, “My love for you has always been as easy as the day. You know, as easy as the sunrise.”
