He added, &#8220;Even running into him at the local supermarket is a treat. He&#8217;s just a genuinely great guy, and as a leading man&#8212;and I realized this very quickly on <i>Cheers<\/i>&#8212;he sets the whole tone. Anybody lucky enough to have worked with Ted knows he sets a terrific pace. He&#8217;s a very generous actor, and I&#8217;m lucky to count him as a friend.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nBe sure to read the whole interview on <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.zap2it.com\/frominsidethebox\/2013\/10\/csi-ted-danson-john-ratzenberger-stage-a-mini-cheers-reunion.html\">Zap2It<\/a>.
