Where Everyone Knows Your Name: TV's Best Sitcom BarsYour local bar, pub, or tavern is where you can be yourself. The people who hang out at the neighborhood bar have always served as a support group, because they are just people, without the obligations and expectations that come with family or co-workers. A drink or two encourages you to relax and open up to making friends. So it is only natural that such an important institution is included in TV sitcoms.Forty years ago, as of September 30th, we were introduced to a bar called Cheers, where everyone knows your name. In honor of the anniversary of the beloved sitcom Cheers, Inside Hook is highlighting Cheers and other sitcom bars where characters gather and let their true feelings come out, with the stories behind them and relevant video clips. These sitcoms are all newer than Cheers, which probably inspired them. Each one has their own flavor that comes from the people who habitually gather there. You are lucky if you find a place in real life that's as welcoming and dependable as TV's sitcom bars. -via Digg #bar #tavern #pub #sitcom

Golden Girls-Themed Pop Up Restaurant in Los AngelesIf you were born in the 80s, you probably have heard of or even watched The Golden Girls, a sitcom about four older women (Dorothy, Rose, Blanche, and Sophia) sharing a home in Miami Beach, Florida. As with many sitcoms, the show is full of memorable scenes and iconic running gags, like the women's love for cheesecake.A few months ago, the online events company Bucket Listers organized a pop-up restaurant in Beverly Hills, California. The pop-up is called The Golden Girls Kitchen, which, as you might expect, is based on the popular sitcom. It has been thirty years since the final episode of The Golden Girls (which aired in May 1992). Still, the sitcom is remembered and beloved by its fans. Before the pop-up restaurant opened on July 30, the first month of reservations was already sold out! That's how popular the sitcom is.What does the pop-up offer, you ask? Lots! Inside the eatery is a replica of the women's kitchen, and behind it is Blanche's bedroom. The pop-up is also full of easter eggs that you are sure to notice if you watched the show. Of course, it can't be called an eatery without food, and The Golden Girls Kitchen offers lasagna and various flavors of cheesecake.The pop-up restaurant, however, will only have reservations through late October.(Images: AP Photo/ Chris Pizzello)#Sitcom #TheGoldenGirls #BettyWhite #PopUp #Food

Dinosaurs: The Weirdest Sitcom EverIf you never got a chance to see the TV series Dinosaurs in prime time, you missed out on one of the more bizarre television experiments ever. That is, if you discount the experimental shows that were canceled after a few episodes. Dinosaurs ran for four years! Looking back on it 30 years later, all we can say is "What were they thinking?" The animatronic characters were amazing, but not attractive. The dialogue was formulaic, as if they were always chasing a new catch phrase. The show was marketed to kids, but had some really dark plots based on how different dinosaurs are from humans. And it was quite funny. Relive Dinosaurs in this retrospective that questions its target audience, but highlights how imaginative it was. #Dinosaurs #sitcom #animatronic
