Summary: Fantastic
Review: I have been waiting for the DVD for ages and thank-god for my multi-regioned DVD player that I can get this. I dont remember much of the first season and always thought that it was better with woody in the show, but after watching the first season Coach is just as good - if not better!

This is a must buy for all fans, I thought the extras were fine as I bought it for the episodes. There is one big question though, When is Season 2 out????????

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The set we all have been waiting for
Review: I have been waiting for this series to hit DVD since TV shows to disc have become all the rage.Finally we are getting one of the greatest sitcoms ever complete and in order.While i feel the show didn't hit it's stride till the second season this set will still be something to cherish forever.I can not wait till Paramount releases all of the episiodes.Definately a treasure.Now if we can just get Night Court on DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best TV Sitcom ever made...
Review: I love Cheers. I've watched nearly every episode on Nick at Night, and now I can watch them all in exact order.

The characters are great. The writing on the show is unequaled. The acting is superb with each actor's timing and chemistry reaching levels unseen in other comedies. I love this series. I can't wait for more seasons to make their way to DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: time hasn't changed it one bit
Review: i signed up to be notified when they released it, bought it ten minutes after they announced the release date, and received it tonight. i've been waiting for this ever since they made DVD players.
i just watched the first 3 episodes, and still think it is the best show ever.
i still hate dianne, but other than that, it still makes me laugh so hard i can't see; but now i can pause it or watch it again. and again.
WHY DIDN'T THEY RELEASE ALL OF THE SEASONS!? dangit.
the theme could easily plague your sleep since it isn't cut out, so you hear it every episode. i'll be humming the cheers theme forever. other than that (and dianne), this is heaven.
ya gotta love cheers!

Summary: A Classic 80s Sitcom!
Review: I used to watch Cheers on NBC in the 80s with my parents and I think it's a very good show! Very witty! The cast is top notch, Ted Danson as bar owner and former baseball player Sam, Shelley Long and Rhea Perlman as waitresses Diane and Carla who are opposites in every way and sarcastic streetwise Carla loves to give uptight, prim and proper Diane a hard time! The great cast also includes Nicholas Colosanto as Sam's former Coach who is now a bartender in Sam's bar and regulars Norm and Cliff played by George Wendt and John Ratzenberger. I highly recommend this sitcom!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Lip-sync Letdown
Review: I was looking forward so much to enjoying the full first season of my favourite all-time sitcom only to be let down by the fact that in every episode the syncronisation is out. The actors lips are a beat ahead of the sound and it annoyed me so much I took it back and got a refund. As no-one else on this review thread has mentioned this I'm left wondering if I was just unlucky. It's not just this DVD where I've noticed the problem, it's also on my Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 1 disc although not quite as noticeable. Needless to say this explains my one star rating, otherwise it would be a definite five.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Worth Watching Again and Again
Review: I wasn't a big fan of this show back in the 80s. I would watch it occasionally and I really didn't think much of the show at the time. But now, after watching the whole first season on DVD, I've got to say that I'm so GLAD that they finally released this on DVD. I didn't realize Cheers was so funny! This first season DVD is very funny! I would have to agree that this is truly one of the best comedy shows of all time. This is definitely a keeper and worth watching over and over again.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I missed this show
Review: I wish they would do alot more show on dvd

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Is a review really necessary?
Review: I'm not going to bore you with my usual long, technical review. I'm not going to bore you with a review of a television series that speaks for itself. What I will do is say this....in a nutshell, there is absolutely NO REASON for you NOT to buy this DVD. If you are a fan of Cheers, the first minute of watching Episode One, you will be watching with your mouth opened...literally...like I did. From the beautiful stereo sound of the theme music, to the vibrant colors of the remastered film (especially if you have a component set-up), you will be filled with "wow" and "oh my gosh" as you step back in time. This DVD package is a MUST BUY for any fan of Cheers. Just be warned about one thing, the episodes are not in the order in which they were aired for some strange reason. Other then that, step back to a time when TV was at its absolute perfection...and step into a place where everybody knows your name. Enjoy!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Really glad I bought this...
Review: I've always loved "Cheers" (especially the Sam / Diane years). I knew that I would enjoy this box set. But, I was taken back by how well this show was written. I was barely a teenager when Season 1 aired. I got the basic jokes then, but the subtle humor elluded me, until now.

I will probably watch the 22 episodes again in the near future while I'm biding time for Season 2.

I gave only 4 stars because the extras were on the soft side. But, face it, I bought it for the episodes. Well worth it.
