"Cheers" star George Wendt has died.

The actor died peacefully in his sleep on Tuesday morning, according to a statement from a family representative.

"George was a doting family man, a well-loved friend and confidant to all of those lucky enough to have known him," the statement read.

"Hey Norm, how's the world been treating you?"
"Like a baby treats a diaper."

"Whatcha up to, Norm?"
"My ideal weight if I were eleven feet tall."

"What's the story, Norm?"
"Boy meets beer. Boy drinks beer. Boy meets another beer."

"Would you like a beer, Mr. Peterson?"
"No, I'd like a dead cat in a glass."

"How's it going, Mr. Peterson?"
"It's a dog-eat-dog world, Woody, & I'm wearing Milk Bone underwear."

The clips were a flash from the past! He was a good actor on a good show. Sadly, they don't make'em that way anymore. Condolences to his family & friends.

It made me sad when I heard the news. Cheers was one of the best shows on TV when I was in college. I'm pretty sure I have watched every episode like 10 times.

That was the Golden Age of sitcoms.
The stuff they produce now,, I haven't watched a sitcom or "reality" show since prolly 2000.

Loved that show
when i lived in boston i went to the bar "cheers" it was the entrance you saw on the show where you walk down the steps from the outside but the inside was totally different
and Norm wasnt on a corner stool....

That was the age of no reality shows. How nice was that. Like many have said that was a great show. From memory that was a great night of a lot of good shows on NBC. His bits in Saturday night live were funny too. Rest in peace

I loved Cheers as well and 'Namy'.
Sadly, reality shows will be around for a while. Like the crime documentarys, the networks don't pay anyone on those types of shows except the host/interviewer and the crew. No stars to pay.
