The 18 greatest TV drinkeries

cheersWelcome to TV Squad Lists (formerly 'The Five'), a feature where each blogger has a chance to list his or her own rundown of things in television that stand out from the rest, both good and bad.

Ah, the friendly neighborhood drinking hole. In one way or another, they're there to give you that much needed morning/evening buzz before/after work or school. In what order you visit them is up to you. We've seen our fair share of these booze and caffeine shoppes on TV throughout the years, and here's my pick for the top 18 -- why settle for just ten?

1) Cheers (Cheers) -- Let's get right down to it and start with the obvious number one choice before we move on. I'm not going to insult you with dragging you on to the end to see what is very obviously the most famous of all TV bars. And since I'm from the area, I have no business not making this number one.

How to not alienate David Cross

David CrossBeing a celebrity must be weird. Aside from the fame and fortune (if there is, indeed, either), you have to deal with a public that feels as if they know you, just because they've seen you on the big screen, in interviews, or you come into their home every week. It's probably hard for people who are in the celeb stratosphere and have to have an entourage and a gated home, like Madonna or Leonardo DiCaprio or Michael Jackson. People who aren't exactly going out to bars with friends or shopping or going to the movies down the street. But it can also be hard for other celebs.

Someone like David Cross. He's famous, but he's not FAMOUS. He's really just a regular guy who goes out to bars and restaurants in NYC, hangs out with friends. He's written a piece for New York mag's ettiquette issue, on how to not alienate a celeb if you see one out somewhere. It's pretty funny, but pretty accurate too.

My favorite part is when Cross tells the story of how he was standing at a bar one time, and a guy came up to him, snapped his fingers in his face and yelled, "Name!"

Jeez.
