Star Trek: The Cheers (and Frasier) Generation III

This is my last one of these, I swear! I finished Frasier and my TNG rewatch, but I had to include these. Stephen Root is a favorite actor and Penny Johnson Jerald is a biggie. She managed to appear on TNG and in major roles in DS9 and The Orville. And Daniel Davis as Moriarty is obviously a TNG favorite.

Star Trek: The Cheers (and Frasier) Generation II

As I’ve watched Frasier, I’ve found even more people than I listed in my last post about actors appearing on Cheers, Frasier, and Star Trek. I only have about a season left, but can there really be more?!

For the first two, we get a M*A*S*H / Star Trek / Frasier overlap!

Star Trek: The Cheers Generation

Star Trek: The Next Generation is pretty much my favorite TV show. I have it, and many of the movies with the original cast, on repeat at most times. I recently decided to take a little break from Trek and gave Cheers a whirl. Little did I know, many actors who appeared on/in Star Trek were also on Cheers and Frasier. Here are some examples of the crossovers!

Christopher McDonald

Carol Kane

Down The Rabbit Hole

If you haven’t noticed from my previous posts, I like going down rabbit holes with film and TV. There are some interesting overlapping stories between Hugh Hefner, Peter Bogdonovich, Dorothy Stratten, and Bob Fosse.

Star Trek vs Strange New Worlds

I’ve pretty much been a lifelong Star Trek fan, right down to watching Star Trek: The Next Generation when it first premiered in 1987 and all the way through to when it ended in 1994. It’s also my go-to TV show to have on in the background since I know it well. While some of the newer Trek shows have been a mixed bag (I’m looking at you, Picard seasons 1 and 2), Strange New Worlds is pretty solid and the closest to older the older formula. Surprisingly, I had a hard time finding sites with comparisons between the cast of the original series and Strange New Worlds. Well, here you!
