Park Street Under

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Park Street Under is a sitcom set in a fictional bar in the Park Street subway station in Boston, Massachusetts. It was produced starting in 1979 by Boston television station WCVB-TV. This was the first example in the United States of a half-hour sitcom produced by a local station. Some viewers claim that Park Street Under was a significant inspiration for the extremely popular NBC sitcom Cheers, which was also set in a fictional Boston bar.

Park Street Under is also the original name for the Red Line subway platform at Park Street, which is literally under the streetcar lines that became the Green Line.
