Not the Only Perlman On Set  

Officially, Rhea Perlman (who plays Carla Tortelli) wasn’t the only member of the Perlman family to be present on the filming set of Cheers. Heide, Rhea’s younger sister, produced over 24 episodes (from 1985 to 1986) and wrote numerous other episodes. Also, Phil Perlman, Rhea’s father, appeared as one of the bar regulars (Phil).
