Summary: At least all the episodes are here!
Review: If you are Cheers fan, obviously this is a must have. Where else can you get every episode from the first season in one package? The lack of extras is unfortunate, but the reason I purchased the set and the reason I watch it is for the show itself.Sadly, though, the episodes are not presented in their original order. How hard would it have been to put episodes 1-6 on disk 1, and so on? What's episode 7, Coach's Daughter, doing placed as the second selection of disk one? I may not watch every episode in order every single time I view the disks, but upon my first viewing I would have liked if I could watch the episodes in order without switching disks until I completed each disk.

Summary: After all these years, Cheers still sparkles
Review: It has been a long wait for those of us addicted to Cheers. But patience is rewarded. The clarity of the images makes it seem like one is watching each episode for the first time. It is easy to forget how REALLY good the first year was (and still is). The shows are very intelligent, noticeably more so than later years, and witty. It is fun to observe the inconsistencies in the characters -- in one episode Norm is clearly not married and Sam brings his "ex-wife" into the bar. But at the same time the characters, without the more clearly defined "roles" of later years, are often more interesting, most especially Carla. I met Rhea Perlman and she was understandably not all that proud of the rather 2 dimensional Carla of the later years. Here the character is wise-cracking, but with more depth and Perlman's considerable talents have room to shine. Also, Coach is a a great character, expertly realised, and more. One episode has the scene with Coach and his daughter Lisa, who is "not comfortable with her beauty," that is arguably the most moving, and genuinely so, scene ever in a TV series. And the sexual tension between Sam and Diane is about as good as it gets. I marvel that this season's shows were the lowest rated program on TV -- it is simply great comedy, suberbly written, and well performed by a strong cast that is consistently "on." How extremely fortunate that NBC stuck with the show! Technically, as mentioned above, it is amazing to see the familiar images in such detail and clarity. The sound quality too is much improved over broadcasts of the time and most of the reruns. And, of course, each episode is complete -- unlike the broadcast reruns which frequently cut lines, and occasionally scenes. One quibble. The shows are not in their original broadcast order, which makes the inconsistencies in character development even more baffling. But it is a quibble. Overall, magnificent. Highly recommended. So now, when do we get season 2?

Summary: HALLELUJAH!!!!
Review: Let me just say that IT'S ABOUT TIME!!! If shows like Buffy and Dawson's Creek can get released on DVD, then Cheers should have been released a loooooong time ago!! I can only hope that all 12 seasons of America's finest comedy get released in the next 2 years because I know that I'll plow through Season One the day I get it. Long live Sammy, Norm, Cliff, Carla, Woody, Frasier, Lillith, Rebecca, the Coach, and yes, even Diane!!!

Summary: Where everybody knows your name!
Review: NBC's hit sitcom Cheers was seen Thursday evenings just like The Cosby Show. It premiered on September 30,1982,immediately bringing CBS's Archie Bunker's Place's ratings down. Eight days earlier,NBC launched Family Ties. At the time of Cheers' premiere,every cast member was either unknown or little known. Ted Danson is Sam Malone,the owner and operator of Cheers,a pub and short order restaurant who used to be a baseball player. This series was based on a real establishment in Boston. Shelley Long is Diane Chambers,an aspiring novelist who is Sam's on-and-off girlfriend(she would leave the series after the 1986-87 season). Rhea Perlman is Carla Tortelli,one of Cheers' waitresses who is acid-tongued and often bitchy. Perlman's real-life husband(was then and still is) Danny DeVito's sitcom Taxi moved from ABC to NBC when Cheers premiered. John Ratzenberger is Cliff Claven,a mailman who frequented the establishment. George Wendt is Norm Peterson who was also a frequent patron. Nicholas Colasanto is Nick "Coach" Pantusso who worked as a bartender(Colasanto died in '85 thus being replaced by Woody Harrelson). It is possible that Cheers won an Emmy for Best New Series in 1983. Like The Jeffersons,Married...With Children and Happy Days,this series would last 11 seasons! Throughout the series,Danson,Long,Perlman and Wendt would have film careers. As for Taxi,that series ended after the 1982-83 season as did Archie Bunker's Place.

Summary: One of the Best Seasons of One of the Best Shows
Review: One of the best seasons of One of the Best Shows February 28, 2003
The acting and writing is some of the finest to grace the airwaves. Diane as played brilliantly by Shelly Long is a real treat. It took many characters to try to replace the vacuum left after she departed the series. In truth the show was not the same without her, but the entire series is well worth collecting. The show is a wonderful depiction of a diverse group of customers and employees that come together in something of a surrogate family in Boston Bar. This portion of the series also functions as a great romantic comedy fueled by stellar chemistry between Diane and Sam as polar opposites that attract. Very sharp humor and great dialogue punctuate the series. One of the ten best television shows of all time. The best TV DVD package released to date. These shows are highly repeatable and worth owning.

Summary: CHEERS TO AN OUTSTANDING SERIES
Review: Raise your mug o' beer and give 28 cheers to this nifty 4-disc box set. (Die-hard devotees know that "28" is the number of Emmy Awards won by the show and its staff and stars.) All the memorable characters from all 22 of the first season's memorable episodes are here, including "Give Me a Ring Sometime," the series' pilot. The bonus material is OK, nothing great --- an acceptable interview with Ted Danson, a trivia game that's way too easy, though the featurette on "Stormin' Norm-isms" is as cute as Diane ever was ... or will be. Take a break from all your worries and get away to a place where everyone knows your name.
