Not just desperate but cruel! Making a British Cheers is the stupidest TV idea yet
Briefly

If you squint, from just the right angle and distance, and completely let go of all sense of logic, this does make sense. Cheers was a very popular show. Big Talk has made and continues to make some brilliant television. Nye is a gifted writer who now specializes in thoughtful, modern adaptations of classic works. If everything aligns it could be a dream come true.
Potentially, when everything turns to dust and rubble, our distant descendants will pick through the dirt and realize that Cheers was the most perfect sitcom ever made. They'll look at everything that came after it, from Seinfeld to Friends to The Office, and realize that Cheers represented a foundational piece of all their core DNA.
