This week, Justin and Steve welcome Paul Ramsdell back to the podcast to talk about the original CHEERS spin-off you probably didn’t know existed: THE TORTELLIS.
A show for anyone who watched CHEERS and said to themselves, “I like this, but I want to see more of the characters' ex-spouses, especially if they’re terrible people.”
It’s hard to imagine anyone being able to love Nick Tortelli, or how anyone at NBC thought this could be a success. But, as they say, you need to break (and scramble) a few eggs to make a FRASIER.
A mid-series spin-off of one of the most popular shows on TV is a task that takes everything you’ve got, and unfortunately, audiences just wanted to get away and go back to where everybody knows your name.
