David Alan Grier was almost cast on Cheers. Jimmy Brooks and Jimmy Burrows were trying to create a recurring character that he would play. (Grier is a gifted comedian and Cheers did need a little more diversity-- a problem which they never really solved). Instead of casting him on Cheers they wound up creating a role for him on another NBC sitcom they developed, All is Forgiven. All is Forgiven starred another would be Cheers star, Bess Armstrong. Armstrong was the show creators' original choice to play Diane, who was originally going to be a tough manager playing opposite show star Bill Cosby (!!). Bess turned down the role though, and the show decided to go in a whole other direction. All is Forgiven ran for a year and then it was cancelled. Ironically Shawnee Smith, one of the stars of All is Forgiven, starred for several years on the Ted Danson sitcom Becker; his big hit after Cheers.
