The next already divided terrain, where Kirstie Alley carved her own patch with fumes of talent and perseverance, was Cheers, one of the best and most enduring sitcoms in television history.
This show about a Boston basement bar that combines the downsides of heaven with the upsides of hell starred the magnificent but not uncomplicated Shelley Long, who played the role of the portly Ted Danson as the bar owner Sam Malone for several years battle intellectual waitress Diana Chambers to recast the lead female spot, surrounded by the likes of giants Danson, Woody Harrelson and Kelsey "Frasier" Grammer.
