The cast of NBC's Modern Family helped The Hollywood Reporter pay tribute to the Emmy award-winning sitcom Cheers. The lively cast took on the roles of various Cheers characters while posing for pictures and providing a heartwarming video.
With parallels between Modern Family and the hit 80s sitcom, the NBC cast is the perfect television family to pay this tribute. While Ty Burrell dresses as bartender Samuel "Mayday" Malone, Julie Bowen, Ariel Winter, Rico Rodriguez and Nolan Gould recreate Diane Chambers, Carla Tortelli Norm Peterson and Woody Boyd.
This honoring tribute is a part of The Hollywood Reporter's list of Hollywood's 100 Favorite TV Shows which cast the stars of Modern Family as other sitcom characters from shows such as Married...With Children, Frasier and The Mary Tyler Moore Show.
