    John Travolta from Welcome back cotter. Turned that success into Saturday Night Fever and then Grease a year after that. Michael J Fox from Family ties, turned that success into Teen Wolf and back to the future in the same year. And theres a fuck load more that I cant be bothered typing out.

    The single most impressive thing about Cheers is that its still funny all these years later, with a great bunch of characters. You can sit down and watch any episode, and have fun. More than that, it spun off a character into a show that is considered by many to be the best sitcom of all time. Frasier. The only TV show with a better spin off record is JAG, which spawned NCIS. Which isnt bad for a tv show that was cancelled after 1 year, picked up by another network, and is still on the air now, racking in millions of viewers. The JAG/NCIS universe is 30 years old this year.
