Phone rings:

"Cheers...is there an Ernie Pantuso here?"

"That's you, Coach."

"Speaking."

 

Definitely in my top 5 all time sitcom dialogue exchanges.

 

"Albania...Albania...you border on...the...Adriatic."

 

And I still can't hear about an athlete injuring their groin without thinking "A g-g-groin...injury."

Sorry, but I'm calling FAKE NEWS on this one.

 

"In 1982, between 50 and 75 actors tested for the role of Coach--one of them Sid Caesar, the veteran TV clown--but Charles said, ``Nick was our first choice from the very first time we saw him.``

The movie was Porky's 2 or 3, it seemed a better payday than Cheers

 

Producers of TV shows lie constantly after the fact about their choices, trying not to make it seem one of the 100 greatest flukes of history.

I sing that every single time I see the word Albania or anything that sounds anything like it. 

 

Night Court was one of the most underrated comedies of all time.  Tremendous cast with so many famous "visitors".

I though t he was refering to taking over the role after he died in real life? When Woody Harrelson took over

 

 

I remember being a young kid growing up and watching night court when i was allowed to stay up late. I remember him being big into magic. One of the bios I read yesterday about him talked about him opening up a magic shop in the french quarter of NO along with a speak easy after he stopped acting full time
