5. "Norm!": On this day in 1993, the highly-popular sitcom "Cheers" aired its final episode following an 11-year run on NBC. The show followed the trials, tribulations and petty problems of the regulars of a Boston-based bar. Though it was almost cancelled during the first season due to low ratings, Cheers eventually became one of the highest-rated shows in the United States, coming out in the top 10 for eight of its 11 seasons. And that, as Cliff Clavin would say, is a "little known fact."
