Since it's obviously meant to be set in the "Cheers" bar without actually mentioning it by name or calling John & George "Cliff" or "Norm"....does Jenny Craig/admakers have to get permission/pay to do sort of a "knockoff" version of a Cheers setup or were they sorta scraping by legally by not really mentioning any names, etc of the characters?YEKIMIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01921751875397071034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-79680603679761318832016-01-16T16:17:07.338-08:002016-01-16T16:17:07.338-08:00Friday Question: Will the sun come up tomorrow?Friday Question: Will the sun come up tomorrow?CRLnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-21426711586923267132016-01-16T15:12:15.105-08:002016-01-16T15:12:15.105-08:00Diana or Annie, that's one sweet smile.Diana or Annie, that's one sweet smile.thirteennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-85734249175709337252016-01-16T12:21:16.423-08:002016-01-16T12:21:16.423-08:00Charles H.

After about the third try, I picked up the cue of the last name and raised my hand. I went home that day and said to my mother, " Why didn`t you tell me my name was Mary?" I insisted henceforth on using my real name.mmryan314https://www.blogger.com/profile/03956737239500293977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-11278237037588854792016-01-16T09:01:00.465-08:002016-01-16T09:01:00.465-08:00Ken, why did you start calling her "Annie&quo...Ken, why did you start calling her "Annie" instead of "Diane," then?
