So from what I can image, the bar had hinges at the seam, the stage right of the bar swung out to the audience. That created a space for the wall where we see the door of Sam's office to swing open? If so, how did Sam's office wall open up? I'm betting there were hinges at the corner where that wall hits the hallway and the office door stayed put as there are some shots of the bar through that door when people leave or enter Sam's office. Just a guess.

Amazon's is even in HD (720). I was in high school and college when Cheers was on TV. I have great memories watching the show, so being able to see them on the net now is very cool. <br />Ken, do you know anything about the old photographs that were used in the opening credits (when the theme song plays). Do you know who the people are in the photographs are? It may seem like a remote question, but I have seen most of the Cheers episodes (if not nearly all of them) and I watch them on the net now, and it has been a question since the 80s. If not, do you know where I can begin to find out, perhaps who put the opening together? I appreciate your help.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-14993428090170345952009-09-24T20:43:48.731-07:002009-09-24T20:43:48.731-07:00Haha... me too.

Was just searching online for the Square House sign when I came across this post.<br /><br />I'm a long time Cheers fan and former Paramount employee. I've been to the Bull and Finch and the Hollywood Museum many times. The B&F most recently last week. A few months ago they constructed a Cheers "set" bar upstairs in what used to be the "Oak Room" in the Hampshire House. It's not perfect, but it's a lot better than the replica @ the Faneuil Hall location. I'd recommend it. Nothing like the actual bar @ the B&F though. One of America's perfect drinking rooms. :)J Ryanhttp://www.offto55.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-58359734881827699192009-09-04T23:50:38.994-07:002009-09-04T23:50:38.994-07:00I'm still looking for a replica of "This ...I'm still looking for a replica of "This is a square house" sign.
