The show produced two spin-offs: ''Series/TheTortellis'', a mainly forgotten one-season show featuring Carla's ex-husband Nick and his family, and the very successful ''Series/{{Frasier}}'', featuring occasional guest appearances by the ''Cheers'' cast (most frequently Lilith and a twice-recast Frederick), which ran for another 11 years. The show is also part of a SharedUniverse with ''Series/{{Wings}}''.

''Cheers'' can be neatly divided into the Diane years (Seasons 1-5) and the Rebecca years (Seasons 6-11) - in the transition from Diane to Rebecca, the show's production company Creator/{{Paramount}} Television also changed its logo (in fact, other than ''Entertainment Tonight'', it was the last Paramount production from its "[[Main/VanityPlate Blue Mountain]]" era still producing new episodes). During the first five seasons, the Sam-Diane romance was the central theme. Their relationship was the most over-elaborate in television history, until [[Series/{{Friends}} Ross and Rachel]] came into the picture. After an acrimonious breakup at the end of Season 2, Sam had a relapse of his alcoholism while Diane voluntarily committed herself and fell in love with her psychiatrist, Dr. Frasier Crane (Creator/KelseyGrammer), who returned with her to Boston to help Sam kick the bottle. However, Diane's feelings for Sam had not gone away, and between Seasons 3 and 4, she left Frasier at the altar and, after trying to find herself through first hedonism, then asceticism, returned to her old job at Cheers. After Nicholas Colasanto died of a heart attack in 1985, [[TheCharacterDiedWithHim Coach was likewise written out as having died between seasons]], and in Season 4, he was replaced by his friendly but naive young penpal, Woody Boyd (Creator/WoodyHarrelson) of Hanover, Indiana. Meanwhile, just as Diane had moved on from her broken engagement to Frasier by re-kindling her romance with Sam, so Frasier found an unlikely new love in fellow psychiatrist Dr. Lilith Sternin (Creator/BebeNeuwirth) in Season 5; they married in Season 6 and became parents to a son, Frederick, in Season 8.
