Did they record this off TV?
Cheers is my favorite show of all time, however when they came out with the DVD's I have been disappointed time after time again with the lack of quality. Every other show has many extras, are presented in great quality with better sound and just make the show even better overall. Cheers seasons 5-11 all lack these things. No cast interviews, no commentaries, and with this season (One of the biggest finale's of television history) you had tons of late night cast interviews, television specials and a behind the scenes pre-show that would optimize the DVD experience. NONE were found here, just the episodes in fullscreen (a few look as if they were transferred from a grainy version)with inferior sound quality and missing some scenes. This packaging they have adopted since season nine looks like something one of my teenagers made for a pirated version. A major disappointment, CBS video or whoever is responsible for this cheap strip-down DVD series have ruined what could have been a great...
Great (5 star) show though poor quality finale on DVD set
Though this DVD set does not release until next week, I was able to purchase it from a local store yesterday. I purchased this season set for the final (3-part) episode, which I watched last night. Another reviewer stated that certain scenes in this episode are missing; I can't vouch for that as I do not intimately recall the aired finale nor do I have it on VHS. What I would like to make known is the substandard quality of the final episode itself. Though the majority of the episode is fine (similar in quality to that of the first 5 seasons which I own), several specific scenes look like they were taken from poor quality VHS tapes and spliced into the episode to make it the original length. When the episode shifts to one of these scenes, it is very jarring and watching these scenes is irritating. I cannot believe that a television episode that aired only 15 years ago can look so bad.
The ending of Cheers, the beginning of Frasier
The 92-93 season of Cheers, its last, is one of its best. For one thing, at this point everyone's story must be wrapped up, so there is quite a bit of action in the comedy this season. Woody, married at the end of the tenth season, has a few surprises in store, professionally and personally. Frasier conducts an experiment that results in Woody's election to city council. With Woody being the dangerous combination of likable and uninformed, Frasier has nightmares when he begins dwelling on Woody's possible future in politics. Frasier and Lillith break up and then reunite several months later - the reason will surprise you. Rebecca finally meets and marries the man of her dreams at the end of the season. Again, you'll be surprised who she chooses considering her gold-digging past.
The feud between Gary's Old Town Tavern and Cheers erupts once again, and Cheers brings in Harry the Hat (Harry Anderson) to help them out. This is the season after Harry Anderson's long-running...
