The Theme from “Cheers” (also known as “Where Everybody Knows Your Name”) was written by songwriters Gary Portnoy and Judy Hart-Angelo for the television sitcom “Cheers.” Set in a Boston bar, the award-winning hit series ran on NBC from 1982 to 1993, and starred Ted Danson, Shelley Long, Rhea Perlman, George Wendt, Woody Harrelson, Kelsey Grammer, and Kirstie Alley, among others.

Portnoy recorded the theme song in 1982. Subsequently, it became his debut single from the album “Music from Cheers,” released in 1983. In the same year, the song received an Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Achievement in Music and Lyrics. In 2011, the song “Where Everybody Knows Your Name” was voted the best television theme of all time by a readers poll in “Rolling Stone” magazine. Again in 2013, it was voted greatest TV theme of all time by the editors of “TV Guide” magazine. With a beer to say “Cheers,” pianist Charles Manning improvises the song “Where Everybody Knows Your Name.”
