Summary: About time!!
Review: I am a huge fan of cheers, and nothing makes me happier than to finally see that Paramount will continue releasing Cheers on DVD.
The special features appear to be bigger and better in Season two, and this collection is a treat to any Cheers fan because some of the best episodes of the series were from season two. Sam and Diane's relationship took off, and look for the reactons of the other regulars...to quote Norm Peterson "I miss the good old days when they threw up at the sight of eachother"
Season is gets 5 stars becasuse of brilliant writting, and the exceptionally talented acting.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fourth Season Coming!
Review: I found out last week that Cheers The Complete Fourth Season is being released, on February 1, 2005! Less than 3 months away! Like the first 3 seasons i'll get this one the day it comes out. Yay!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: No Sound
Review: I just received my second copy of Cheers' second season from Amazon, and like the first copy I'm getting no sound. I've tried everything, I have Cheers' first and third seasons with no audio problems. Am I the only one with this problem? There is nothing wrong with my 150 other DVDs, they all play fine. I'm assuming Amazon received a defective batch.

Summary: All The Important Things Are Here
Review: I love how so many of the previous reviewers try to debate the quality of episodes from this, the second season. Say what you will, I enjoy watching this batch of episodes just as much as I do the later years after Kirstie Alley and Woody Harrelson had joined the cast.

The picture and sound quality are excellent. Using my player's zoom-in feature, I found NO pixilation and only slight graininess. The people responsible for video and sound transfer deserve a big fat pay raise! And as previously stated by another reviewer, the episodes look and sound better here than they ever have in syndication (sorry, Nick-at-Nite!).

And, most importantly to me, all the episodes are fully intact at their original network running times of approximately 24 minutes!

The extras aren't that much to get excited over. Interview footage from back-in-the-day was interesting. The clip-show featurettes are just collections of scenes and dialogue you'll see in the actual episodes. The blooper reel was fascinating, though kind of short and with horrendous picture and sound quality. But then again, who watches a blooper reel to be blown away by Dolby sound and state-of-the-art picture quality? Certainly not yours truly.

The picture on the cover? Okay, I can see why some would scoff, but I don't have a problem with it. I doubt I'll ever spend endless hours gazing at the cover art, and when it's sitting on my shelf with all the other DVD's, all I'm ever going to see is the spine. And I LOVE the spine! Really! It's beautiful!

I'm looking forward to season three's release, and hopefully seasons 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 & 11 won't be too far behind!

PS: Word on the street is that NBC decided to release the FINAL season of "Frasier" this fall. A little out-of-order, but something to look forward to nonetheless.

Summary: One of the Greatest Shows Ever Made!
Review: I loved this show during its first five years. I think Shelly Long's character along with Ted Danson made Cheers a wonderful show. Shelly was irreplaceable in the show though it continued and the same went for the coach. The actor who played the coach contributed a lot to the show . Watching the second season reminds me of how good it was.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Dreadfull
Review: I own the first season which is great! I have also seen just about every other episode ever, although I must have missed these on tv and I can see why... they didn't want to air them. The majority of this season is just Sam and Diane fighting and making up, fighting and making up, having sex and fighting. There are not enough coach, Cliff, and Norm moments. This season was for sure the black sheep of the series. I do however highly recommend the series as a whole... one of the top 3 best shows ever created!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: best season of cheers
Review: I think that Cheers is one of the top 2 or 3 sitcoms of all time. I loved the first season, and I love every other season, but I think that the second season is the best. The storylines are great, the characters are well defined, and the sexual tension between Sam and Diane is one that has never been matched in television history. It is the best season of a great show, and I can't wait to own it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Oh, happy day!
Review: I was counting the days until the second season of "Cheers" was released, and I was not disappointed. Not by the DVD itself, anyway. I noticed that Amazon raised their price by a few dollars between pre-order and release date. In the end, I bought the set for much less at Target. Just a word to the wise.

On to the DVD itself..."Cheers" really hits its stride in the second season, with the beginning of the Sam & Diane relationship we all watched with amusement, interest, and amazement back in the day. The extras are slightly more substantial this time, too; while they all feature scenes from only the second season, we have "Diane Chambers from A to Z," "Carla's Insults for Every Occasion," "Cliff's Notes of Wisdom," and "Strictly Top Shelf: The Guys Behind the Bar," which includes both new and 1983 interviews with Jim Burrows, Ted Danson, George Wendt, and Rhea Perlman. I was a little disappointed no one even mentioned the late Nicholas Colasanto (Coach) and what it was like to work with him.

I'm hoping future "Cheers" DVD releases have a big, meaty documentary about the show, along the lines of the "E! True Hollywood Story." Don't get me wrong, I love the episodes themselves, but part of the fun of a DVD is the potential for lots of behind the scenes goodness.
