What country of origin is listed for Cheers?

Cheers lists the United States as its country of origin. It was developed and produced as an American television series and originally broadcast by the U.S. network NBC.

The show was created by American television writers Glen and Les Charles and director James Burrows. Its story is set in Cheers, a fictional bar in Boston, Massachusetts, where bartender Sam Malone and a rotating group of employees and customers form the central ensemble.

The Boston setting can sometimes cause confusion about the show’s production identity, since the bar’s exterior was associated with the Bull & Finch Pub, later known as Cheers Beacon Hill. The series itself was filmed primarily on soundstages in Los Angeles rather than in Boston.

Cheers first aired on September 30, 1982, and continued for 11 seasons on NBC. Its American origin is distinct from its fictional location: Boston supplies the setting, while the program belongs to the U.S. television industry.
