Customer reviews:  Fun Reliving "Cheers.", 2008-02-08
Always enjoyed Cheers years ago and thought that I would like to review them after so much time has past. Bought the first five season with Shelly Long in the cast. Lots of laughs.
Oen of the Greatest TV show of all time, a classic "10", 2006-10-16
Cheers is perhaps the greatest TV show ever created, and one of the top shows in the 1980s (they don't make em like they used to).
the script was fantastically written, and the acting superb.
It's a shame what happened to Shelley Long(Diane Chambers) after she left the show; for although her character is probably at least 20% like her, it's still top notch acting.
The laughters and jokes abound, and the annoying Cliff Claven character, being the butt of every Carla Tortelli LeBec whim was classic. The chemistry between the characters is moving and amazing.
No couple on TV can replace/come close to the Diane Chambers/Sam Malone combo. Rebecca Howe (Kirstie Alley) annoyed me at first when she came on, but once I reviewed season 5-7 again; she's all right. She's no Diane, I guess I don't like self-effacing, neurotic and power-hungry characters like Rebecca. She's a loser, and it changed the whole "warm" dynamic of the Cheers atmosphere.
However, adding the characters of Woody Boyd (Woody Harrelson); and Dr. Fraser Crane(Kelsey Grammar) and Dr. Sternin(Bebe Neuwirth) made up for more what Rebecca's character lacked. The Cranes were an absolutely hilarious couple, and Woody and Kelly combo made me laugh as well. I look forward to re-watching Bebe's performances, they keep topping the previous ones!
In this show, the characters change, become better, and grow...and so does the acting. Unlike many so-called "funny shows" of the 90s. The characters are wholesome, REAL people. Watching them makes you feel sorry for them, happy, glad, sad, and wish them well all at once.
The theme song is an all time unforgettable one. What a brilliant tune and lyrics!
This show is a worthy keeper on DVD. Unfortunately...
the DVD collection is less than thrilling. No subtitles are terrible (it's hard to understand what some of the actors are saying, particularly, John Ratzenburger as Cliff Claven); the quality is grainy, and the extras are pretty lame. I expected more cast interviews, and more director interviews....oh well.
Otherwise, it's well worth it!
