Watching cheers again and it's hitting me more and more just much these characters actually go to the pub. It's indicated that it's every night. However for Norm, it 10am to 2am. I know it's fictional but still, even to write someone like that. I know retired old boys that are in the pub every day. The might come in for a pint during the day to read the paper, go home for the dinner, then come back bout 6 or 7 until closing time or near closing time. I don't know if i could do that at the minute if i suddenly didn't need to work again. When i'm retired, well, if i had nothing really to occupy myself, i think i could most days. It would also depend on the other regulars and the folk behind the bar too.
Could you spend every day, all day in the pub if you had no responsibilities?

No, I couldn't spend all day every day in a pub. But if it was a good pub, with a good selection of decent beers and friendly staff, then I could probably go in most nights. I'd rather do that and sit and watch shite on telly every night.

Did Norm or the Postal Guy ever go onto anything after Cheers?

Did Norm or the Postal Guy ever go onto anything after Cheers? Cliff (the postal guy) does loads of voiceover work. Certainly in all the Toy story films. |

Damn, thanks guys! That may have been the single largest expulsion of energy on this board to date. Well done!
( as a collective we may need to roll off to the side and sleep now.)

I don't drink at all, abd just being indoors with a lot of people drinking is enough to make me ill, so no, I could not do it: but I have seen every episode of Cheers at least three or four times, and can confidently say that Norm doesn't do it either. Apart from anything else, if he were there from early doors to lock-up, he wouldn't be coming in to be greeted in a similar manner: also, it's established that he's also a regular at Gary's Old Town Tavern and at least one other bar, he's often off eating at The Hungry Heifer and he does spend at least some time some days working or being at home with Vera.
