Having done a Cheers rewatch not that long ago, I've come to the conclusion that it's much less consistent — primarily in the Rebecca years — than we tend to remember it. Whereas Simpsons has a decade of greatness, then some patchy periods, then some excellent periods, including the most recent stretch. It's gotta be The Simpsons.

This was maybe the most difficult final matchup of any bracket I’ve voted in.

Got to be consistent. The first seven years of Cheers were a notch below The Simpsons. The whole body of work of Cheers is better than the endless body (corpse?) of The Simpsons.

Really, by my logic Fawlty Towers should win.

Cheers on account of it's home field advantage. Nobody ever says "I wish you lots of holiday Simpson" at this time of year.

I never saw the early seasons of Cheers, just some of the final years. Enjoyable group of characters.

I’ve watched many many seasons of The Simpsons, and that’s almost always excellent to me. Vote yellow!

Two excellent theme songs too!
