I can't imagine why you'd resurrect a can't-be-improved on 40 year old sitcom in another country with a different sensibility, but that isn't stopping one British production company from exploring the idea. 

A firm called "Big Talk Studios" has confirmed it's working on developing a modern day version of the NBC classic Cheers, set - where else? - in a British pub. Those behind the concept - and so far it's only that - say it will need to be radically updated for modern times but the idea of the place where everybody knows your name would be maintained. 

“I might be insane,” [studio exec Kenton] Allen joked. He was reluctant to say too much about Big Talk’s plans for Cheers, but revealed that the series would be set in a pub. “The British pub is an endangered species, so there’s an answer for the ‘Why now?’ about it,” he said. “The attitudes of Cheers in the ‘80s are very different to the attitudes of today, so there’s a massive amount of work to be done around taking inspiration from the original characters but creating something fresh.”

No one knows if this will ever hit air, but it is a bit of an unusual reversal if it happens. Mostly, the U.S. takes British shows and adapts them for North American television (which is where classics like All In The Family, Sanford & Son, The Office and most recently, Ghosts, all came from.)
