32 YEARS AGO

Every actor dreams of booking a role that leads to everybody knowing their name. Ted Danson found that in Sam Malone, his Cheers bar owner. For 11 seasons, Danson had a steady gig leading the legendary TV comedy’s talented ensemble, racking up awards—he won two Emmys and was nominated every year the show was on—and admiration. So it came as a shock when Danson announced his decision to depart the NBC series, effectively ending its run. In the cover story for the April 10, 1993, issue of TV GUIDE MAGAZINE, the star explained the reasoning behind his last call on Cheers: “I feel like I’m on a high diving board—about to spring into I don’t know what. A new, scary place,” he said. “I want to jump into this void…

YOUR FEEDBACK

DOG-GONE FUN Kudos to the writers of the February 25 episode of ABC’s Will Trent. Not only did I love the extra screen time for Betty, Will’s chihuahua, but the new character developments for Will, Angie and Ormewood made me think I was getting three episodes for the price of one.

SUPERNATURAL SUPES

Season 5 may be the last hurrah for The Boys, but the popular Prime Video series isn’t going out without giving Supernatural fans a special treat. Jensen Ackles, who currently portrays Soldier Boy, is reteaming with his former costar Jared Padalecki. (They played paranormal-hunting brothers Dean and Sam in the beloved 2005–20 CW series.) In a joint Instagram post, they also confirmed that another former costar, Misha Collins, who played angel Castiel, would join them in upcoming episodes of The Boys.
