Nothing so annoying as when your computer makes noise when you don't want it to...

Quick! Where's the "Shut the hell up" button on the Cheer's Boston website. My point on this post is this:

At what point does America conclude that "the Gang from Cheers" are a troupe of pathetic alcoholics and their jailers? At the conclusion of the show? After watching a Cheers marathon? When catching up with the Gang when they make special guest apperances on Fraiser?

No... I suspect that this sort of revisionism in history won't occur for decades. Mark my words (great expression) it will happen, and with a vengence (another great expression) and when it does Cheers will become as reviled as "Amos n' Andy," Mickey Rourke's character from "Breakfast at Tiffany's" or the complete works of Charles Dickens. Once this happens, Cheers will become a symbol of all that is wrong and evil and excessive with whatever societal ill plagues that future America at the time when it villifies Cheers and at that point no one will see the humor any more.
