The TV show "Cheers" ...

came about...because of 3 guys ....

IN my Harvard Biz Skewl class

3 guys

hung out at the "Hampshire House" downstairs

THE "Bar" .... turned into "Cheers"
( Bostonians were SO "Pissed" the name has "reverted" back )

First ...there was Steve Conway
  • sat at the corner barstool ALL the time
  • worked in British/Scottish Banking
  • became Ivan Boesky's ... "Banker"
Then there was the guy sitting next 2 him

    Steve Swain

  • was "Nuclear NAVY" ..NOT the Post Office
  • couldn't handle ANY GIRL saying NO
    • always "saddled up" w/Dick Andre
    • went for the "UGLY" friend
    • we "broke in" to his dorm room
    • I climbed thru the window
    • others were making "snow angels"
    • he was "in flangrado del grando"
      • but 2 his credit...he came 2 the window
      • in the "nude"
      • and "admired" the Snow Angels
  1. Did I "mention" at our 25 th reunion...he showed UP w/a restored Maserati Bura" !
OK...now there's the "Sam" character

THAT was.......Richard Andry.... from N'Orleans !

major "Babe Magnet"

that's why Steve Swain and he would arrive together

"Norm"/Steve Conway" would already BE...at the end of the Bar

"Inevitably" ...BE ...some "Twinks"

the "Good News" IS...they always travel in pairs
( girls that IS )

BUT

in this case....Hampshire House

there was always the "Butt Ugly" second
with the "Knock ME down" Gorgeous one

which went for Dick Andry

so Steve Swain ALWAYS ended UP
( actually I'm giving a wrong impression..
  as Steve ALWAYS went for the "other" one )

Anyway

Dick Andre     IS....."Sam" ( I am ? )

There IS ... a "lesson" 2 B learned HERE

A guy,,,who shouldantabeen "admitted" to my HBS class

"partied" w/us all

he went back to HollyWood

BUT

wrote ALL this UP as a "treatment"

a "Treatment" in H'land IS

a "simple" paragraph ..an "idea"

ANY one of You'se havfve 5 times a day

x'cept...in HollyWood

U write IT down

and make $$$ IF...it gets "Picked up"

in THIS  CASE ....

person KW

"fleshed out" ALL 3 "characters"

got  "picked up" by the "Brooks Brothers"

and became....

the series

U now know as..."Cheers" !

( NO...I'm NOT making this UP ! )
