Stembolt George Wendt, the Beer-Loving Norm on ‘Cheers,’ Dies at 77 George Wendt, who bellied up to the bar to portray the beer-quaffing everyman Norm Peterson for all 11 seasons of the fabled NBC sitcom Cheers, has died. He was 77. Wendt died peacefully in his sleep at home, his family confirmed early Tuesday morning.

Stembolt I liked the running gag about the restaurant called the The Hungry Heifer. The Heifer is known for serving cheap meat and meat-like substances, such as “beff” and “loobster”. Norm had a love/hate relationship with the Heifer.

Stembolt Raise a Pint to George Wendt Norm spoke about the moment in the final minutes of the Cheers series finale. “If there’s a Heaven, I don’t want to go there unless my stool is waiting for me,” he tells Malone. “And I’ll tell you what, even God better not be on it.” What Peterson says next is the real takeaway. ”I don’t think it matters what you love, Sammy,” Norm says to Malone, the bar’s on-again/off-again owner. “It could be a person, it could be a thing. As long as you love it totally, completely and without judgment.”
Somewhat-Reticent Some 1-proof beers are quite flavorful, there is some variety. Great for drink-and-drive on a hot day.
Astyanax I remember him being a murderer in a Columbo episode too. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112705 RIP Norm. 😢
