In answer to your question on Talk:Cheers, one of the writers of Cheers has a blog at http://kenlevine.blogspot.com]. It's well worth a read if you're interested in television comedy. He answers your question in passing in a few places - I looked for one article to point you to but frankly the google search I used is the best way to get a full answer. I posted it there, but in case you missed it, see [1]. Orpheus (talk) 05:05, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
