Production

On April, the 25th, 2011, Telecinco unveiled the names of the main actors for the new sitcom, Antonio Resines and Alexandra Jiménez. Resines would be Frasier Crane and Jiménez would be Rebecca Howe. Three days later, both producing companies, Plural Entertainment and Tom Collins Productions, started filming the pilot episode.

On July 28, 2011, Mediaset Spain presented on a press conference the remake of Cheers with the future main cast members of the series, among them Alberto San Juan. [1]

The theme song from the original Cheers , "Where Everybody Knows Your Name" was translated as Donde la gente se divierte, and it was performed by Dani Martín, former singer from El Canto del Loco.

Plot

Nico (Alberto San Juan) is the owner of an Irish pub named Cheers. He is a former footballer, womanizer, vain and a little bit illiterate who cannot help flirting with any attractive woman he sees in his way. His friend Félix (Antonio Resines) is a psychiatrist, very much analytic and unsure, who is forced to look for alternative jobs. Rebeca (Alexandra Jiménez) is a cultured woman who has seen herself forced to work as a waitress after her father went bankrupt.
