- <p> Does the cocktail hour need any more womanizing bartenders
- like Sam Malone or grouchy waitresses like Carla Tortelli?
- Well, here's mud in your eye. The TV series Cheers, based on
- a cozy Boston bar, has inspired a chain of taverns that will
- be installed in airports and Marriott Hotels across the U.S.
- The hotel company's catering division and Paramount Pictures
- Television have struck a deal to open 46 bars modeled after the
- show's. The Cheers bars will be outfitted to remind patrons of
- the TV tavern, with dark paneling and Tiffany lamps. Customers
- will be able to buy Cheers souvenirs. The first of three
- prototypes is scheduled to open in November at the
- Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport.
