From Quiz Pick the Right TV Show

Answer: Cheers

"Cheers" was about people in a bar who all knew one another and they all had their own problems. For example, Sam obsessed over women, Norm drank a lot and was not too keen on his wife, Cliff was a know-it-all loudmouth, and Diane's fiance said he was going to get a wedding ring from his ex-wife but never came back, so she took a job at "Cheers." "Cheers" ran from 1982 to 1993. More characters left the show and got replaced by different actors, so I will not mention them. Some of the actors on this show were Ted Danson, Shelley Long, Woody Harrelson, and Rhea Perlman.

Answer: "Highway Patrol"

This early television crime drama aired for four seasons, from 1955 until 1959. Broderick Crawford starred as graveled-voiced, no-nonsense Dan Matthews, chief of the Highway Patrol. The official sounding narration for the show was performed by announcer/actor Art Gilmore. While mostly uncredited, much of the technical assistance for the series came from the California Highway Patrol, who also provided all of the patrol vehicles used on the show, and the uniforms worn by the actors during the first two years of the series. The official police insignias on the vehicles and the shoulder patches on the uniforms were altered, as not to specifically identify the California Highway Patrol. The radio call sign used by Dan Matthews (21-50) was the actual call sign used by then California Highway Patrol Commissioner, Bernard Caldwell. The patrol vehicles used in the series were 1955 Buick Century, two-door sedans. These vehicles were manufactures for use as police patrol vehicles, and were not available to sale to the general public.
