Continuity mistake: During the scene when Sam and Diane are left alone in the cockpit, the position of the curtain behind them keeps changing. When Sam is speaking, the curtain is half open. When the camera angle switches to Diane, the curtain is closed.
Cheers (1982)

Trivia: When they were deciding on what sport the character Sam Malone would play they originally chose football but ultimately decided baseball would work better.
Question: Does anyone know whether the coloured-in photos, which appear throughout the opening titles sequence, are real or made up for the show? If they ARE real, when George Wendt's name appears there's a shot of a man holding a newspaper with 'WE WIN' as the headline - does anybody know what this referred to?
Chosen answer: The pictures in the opening sequences are real pictures of people enjoying alcohol (from various dates), and are not meant to represent or include any of the cast members. The "we win" sign (most likely not a newspaper headline) is referring to the end of prohibition (1933) A fitting tribute to a show about drinking alcohol.
The word "Nazi" appears in the caption to a story underneath the headline. Maybe the headline refers to the Nazi surrender.
