A few weeks ago, I started hearing "Where Everybody Knows Your Name" on television again, but it wasn't before an episode of Cheers. The song had been licensed for use in commercials for Kelsey's restaurants.
This was the first time I remember hearing this song promoting something other than Cheers and it seemed strange. It's one of the most memorable theme songs in television history and it perfectly suited the opening of Cheers with those great drawings. Kelsey's is a fine restaurant, but it's no Cheers.
I was watching something the other day when I heard "Where Everybody Knows Your Name" again, only this time it was an advertisement for Dr. Pepper. Nostalgia is clearly for sale.
