Not happening for me - it's like proto Friends

Bit of shame - Just finished Cheers and thought I'd give this a bash.

Loved the character Frasier in Cheers but think I'm going to bail on this. I mean, the guy spent what eight years hanging out with Cliff and Norm and the other bar flies in a Sports bar but now he's some kind of snob and the laughs come from the contrast with his working class dad? How's that?

Plus the whole set up with the coffee shop, his brother, even that poster image with them dressed up and draped over couches - it looks very much like the predecessor of Friends.

Any other people feel like this? I was under the impression this was almost universally loved by people who'd watched Cheers but not for me...
