BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Harriet Deltubbo Rhea Perlman, you're a genius! After a couple of sub-par seasons, this show really hit its stride in the mid 1980s. Ted Danson, you so funny! There are too many high points across 11 seasons to mention, but my favourite is the one where Sam gets lost. George Wendt, you make me giggle! The only downside of Cheers was the last episode, which did not really tie up loose ends from the previous 11 years. John Ratzenberger, you look as silly as you are! I own all seasons on VHS. I hope to own all seasons on DVD in the future. With all of that said, I give it 7 out of 10. I wish it was still on the air because I would still be watching.

cliffslatterly I actually can't believe there were a couple of bad reviews for this all time classic sitcom. How is that possible? Those people must have horrible taste. Cheers is the greatest show in the history of television. It's among the most highly rated, critically praised, most award winning, most successful shows in the history of television. And rightfully so. It's hilarious, and in the Diane years, could also be very heartwarming. The Cheers gang is almost like family. Heck, better than family in some cases. I feel right at home watching the classic characters of Sam, Cliff, Coach, Woody, Diane, Norm, Frasier, Carla, Lilith, and Rebecca. Cheers also happens to be tied with a few others(M*A*S*H, and Cheers' own spin off "Frasier", most notably), the longest running sitcom of all time! 11 Seasons. Think about that. Almost any sitcom you can name didn't last 11 Seasons. Seinfeld(9), Everybody Loves Raymond(9), Friends(10), Full House(8), Mary Tyler Moore(7), Dick Van Dyke Show(5), I Love Lucy(6), Honeymooners(1), All in the Family(9), Gilligan's Island(3), The Brady Bunch(5), Scrubs(9), That 70's Show (8) and on and on. The series finale is STILL the second most watched finale of all time. 80.5 million TV sets were tuned in. 47% of the countries TV's that night were tuned in to Cheers' finale. Only M*A*S*H's ranks higher. That's mind boggling. In short(or maybe long), nothing can compare to Cheers. It's an all time classic, and deservedly so. The IMDb rating is a disgrace, though. 7.7?! I remember when it had an 8.3, and I thought THAT was too low. I'd kill for an 8.3 at this point. Cheers should be an 9.5, or something, easy. Or certainly a high 8. It's Cheers. The greatest show ever bar none.

jmbwithcats Cheers did something masterful that I have never seen another show do so well. It was able to capture an honesty and plumb the emotional depths from laughter to heartfelt tears with the precision of a master artist. There are so many examples of this greatness, from Diane trying out for the Boston Ballet, only to say "Nevermind", but then look back as her dream slips away. To the episode where Diane finally leaves Cheers for good, thinking to herself she is only leaving for six months, and Sam saying quietly, "Have a nice life." He knows she has to take her shot, it's truly selfless, add to that the scenes of possible futures growing old together, and it's enough to make the hardest heart crack. The show brought up incredibly meaningful and real issues, timeless and touching, stirring the depths of the human condition, with humor, and alacrity so soft and human as to make it's nuance linger long after the credits roll, and the theme song has vanished from the ear... it continues on in the mind. Cheers in my opinion is the best sitcom ever made, I think MASH comes in a close second, and there have been other shows I love dearly for many reasons, Get Smart, Fawlty Towers, and others I am sure, but Cheers was simply beautiful. As a kid I watched Cheers when it first aired and I enjoyed it, but never returned to the series until recently, 30 years later... and I glean so much more now, and have been nothing but impressed with the writing, the humanity, the chemistry, the joy of the cast working together, and the opportunity to really say something. I hope others always enjoy and appreciate this show, because it does have it's laughs, it's tears, and it's memories, but it also has it's lessons, it's losses, and it's inspiration. The show deserves nothing less than a 9, but I gave it a 10, because it touched me deeply, and that cannot be ignored.

jc-osms I adored "Cheers" on its original release in the early 80's and have lately been revisiting my adoration in catching re-runs right back to the first series. Like the best series, it makes you stay with it, through series after series, cast changes or not, like other American favourites of mine "The Mary Tyler-Moore Show", "Rhoda" "M.A.S.H." "Taxi" "Newhart" and more recently "Friends". Indeed it's easy to see "Cheers" influence on the latter, both fixing much of the action on a popular drinking hole. This was back in the days when writers wrote laugh-out-loud jokes and characters you could empathise with unlike today's post modern ironic shows where the odd line might make you smile at best. "Cheers" always kept you watching for the next line, which more often than not brought forth a laugh. Set-bound as it was, like, say, the bridge on the Starship Enterprise, familiarity bred content as you got to know the characters and their surroundings. The characters were great from the start, Sam "Mayday" Malone, pseudo-intellectual barmaid Diane, the feral barmaid Carla, permanent bar-stool residents Cliff and Norm and best of all the dotty bar manager Coach, with a heart of pure gold. Newer characters entered as the series progressed, especially oddballs Frazier and Lilith Crane, Carla's combative husband Nick and later, the dim young barman Woody Harrelson's "Woody"(a great replacement for Coach) and Kirsty Alley's "Backseat Becky" (ditto for Diane). Great as the smart direction and comedic delivery were, it was all about the writing. Great writers like Heidi Perlman, the Charles brothers, David Lloyd and Earl Pomerantz kept the quality high, season after season as I'm sure my end-to-end re-viewing will testify. 7 down, 244 to go!
