| The first season of Cheers is an American television situation comedy series that originally aired in the United States on NBC between September 30 1982 and March 31 1983 in 22 episodes.

When it was first broadcast critics praised the series as intelligent sophisticated cleverly written well-cast and well-timed. However the Nielsen ratings for its original runs were very low.

In later years this season has still elicited positive reviews and is currently available on DVD. |
