“Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your
name.
And they’re always glad you came.
You wanna be where you can see, our troubles are all
the same.
You wanna be where everybody knows your name.” – theme
from Cheers.
Life
is so stressful that we live in a world starved for nostalgia. That’s why movie
sequels are so common. It is why Friends
re-runs are still so popular via NetFlix 15+ years later. And it is the reason
so many acclaimed movies are now being turned into Broadway plays and musicals.
We are people who seek comfort in the familiar.
This
Cheers quote screams nostalgia and familiarity. We “wanna be where everybody
knows our name,” knows our dreams, knows our needs. And that nostalgia fueled
this TV theme song line becoming the 11th most popular quote of
2018.
