Today I wanted to add another line to the section series (I have a right to botoncillo that ye always handy):
This great classic NBC racked up 273 episodes between 1982 and 1993 and accumulated more than a hundred Emmy Award nominations.
action, as you know, took place in a Boston bar called Cheers precisely. For this local circulated, among others, Kirstie Alley, Ted Danson, Woody Harrelson, Shelley Long, Bebe Neuwirth, Rhea Perlman and John Cleese.
tuning of the series (a composition Judy Hart Angelo and Gary Portnoy who played the latter) eventually became his motto: 'Where everybody knows your name. " And if not tell that to Norm!
Let's talk about the song ... In the early 80's, Gary Portnoy and Judy Hart Angelo , were presented with the opportunity to create a theme for a Broadway musical. It was
preppies, a work that was not very successful, and for Gary and Judy composed a song called People Like Us would serve to open the musical.
few months after the premiere, a Hollywood producer called to tell them that although they did not, had composed the main theme of Cheers, a new series that premiered on NBC shortly. Of course, should change the lyrics.
But of course, could not be so easy ... When the musical's producers learned preppies, showed them his contract and told them not to mention that the issue was exclusively for the musical.
Then, the producers of Cheers suggested they write a new theme and these scarce resources, decided autoplagiarse (yes, something many renowned artists have done throughout his career ... but that's another topic)
As the issue of plagiarism did not work tried to compose a track, but none like those of Hollywood.
And we do not know exactly why, but the fact is that producers continued to believe in these two to the main theme of the series, and they showed their confidence ... But time is running out ...
Both were depressed who composed a new theme sad and melancholy. Even they thought they could work ...
Until they came to mind the idea of \u200b\u200bthe bridge ... 'Sometimes you want to go ....' (sometimes want to go), but of course did not know where.
The way they found when they appeared 'Where everybody knows your name' . For ale, they put a little piano intro and go!
came 1982 and began airing the series expected Cheers and became a major ... failure. While not nearly finished the first season.
Instead, Where Everybody Knows Your Name became a great success. Therefore, that evil tongues say (or not), precisely the song that led to the public interest in this new series, which eventually triumphed ... Here is a version
And Gift ... the tribute in the Simpson Flaming Moe's, the site 'Where You Can drink your misery away ...' :
