Re: Ted/D.B.
I vote for it too! I was too young to get interested in Cheers, but my dad watched, and I do recall the theme song.
I like that they finally gave us someone with a family...it's not just Vegas, everyone is either divorced, widowed or single, with a few exceptions...Danny and Lindsay...Sara and Gil (but they're long distance)...Doc...I think Sid Hammerback...IDK about Miami, don't watch these days. I know Alexx had a family. But I'm glad they finally took a chance on LV. Plus, since his wife isn't a regular character, nobody will have to worry about what's common on NY, the ship overload since D and L were working together until this season.
Of course, my hurt/comfort obsession is going to get the better of me and I'm going to end up hoping to see her onscreen. I'd love a family target plot element after he's been around a while, not right off the bat, but IDK if it can be done without coming accross as cliched or cheesy.
BTW...we know about the college kid, but was it said if he has other kids?
