Cheers: Season 8

Excellent quality fast service

Cheers, very simply, was one of the greatest situation comedies of all time. And Season 8, first aired in 1989-90, was one of the best. Some of the funniest episodes include the season premiere "The Improbable Dream (Part 1)" as well as "The Stork Brings a Crane," "The Art of the Steal," "Feeble Attraction," "Severe Crane Damage," "50-50 Carla," and the two-part season finale "Cry Hard" and "Cry Harder."It is my sincere hope that the remaining seasons of this fantastic TV series will be released. I especially want to relive the classic wisecracks between Carla and John Allen Hill (owner of Melville's), which can only be found in the last three seasons. In addition, I want to see Season 10's hilarious two-part finale (Woody and Kelly's wedding day) and of course the extraordinary series finale in which Shelley Long reprises her role of Diane Chambers. If these remaining seasons ever get released, there are sure to be loads and loads of "cheers."

I am biased, I know. This is my favorite TV show of all time. I love the characters, they are lovable, believable and make you want to be there with them. I can identify with each of them on some level. There's a little bit of everything ~ slapstick, sarcasm, poignancy, something that everyone should be able to identify with.I love Sam Malone so much because no matter who or what he is, he has this big tender heart that wants to do good. He's always there for his friends and mostly, despite how much he and Diane hated one another, he was deeply in love with her. She would manipulate him and his heart would melt toward her, then she'd yank that rug out from under him. Through all that, he never stopped loving her.

The seller got it too me in great time. All nice and neat and shrink wrapped. I'm out to finish getting the rest of the cheers sitcom to add to my collection. It reminds me a lot of my younger days when I hung out in few favorite places shooting pool all the time. But of course living in Jersey City there was always fights that broke out time after time. Then the cops would be called. Sometimes the bar would have to close early. In any case, I always stayed away from the trouble makers. And you can bet I got a lot of respect from the usual bar flies that frequented the place. All and all I had some good times. And Cheers brings back some of those memories.

What can I say?

Cheers is the greatest sitcom ever. It has provided me many years of laughter. When I was in Saudi Arabia during Desert Storm, I had my wife tape the episodes for me. Between her and the expectations of watching a whole group of Cheers episodes all at once, I made it back from playing war. The quality of the DVD's from season #7 was poor. Season #8 DVD's are top notch. Can anyone tell me why Paramount WILL NOT release the seasons quicker? It is absolutely stupid that we have to wait so long for the seasons to be released. Let's get the final 3 out there damn it.

Great got the whole TV series now fast delivery

Let's be realistic. Cheers is a great show and I've watched the preceding 7 seasons before this one, but I would still have to say this is the weakest one I've seen yet. In a nutshell, the first disc starts off reasonably but gets progressively weaker and by the second disc you are in THE DOLDRUMS. I gave up watching for a while I was so bored with it. Later however I did push on as I'm not one to desert friends and by disc 3 it was picking up again and quite a bit so. Disc 4 was quite good and the season ended with a bang, so that if season 9 ever comes down a bit in price, I will be picking it up. However, I was almost ready to say I'd seen the best of it as I plodded through disc 2 and was about ready to hang the show up until things started getting much better in disc 3. There were just no clever lines in disc 2. Truly, it was no laughing matter. I still think the Diane years, love her or hate her, were the best, but the Rebecca years have also had their very good moments. If you've loved Cheers so far then you might as well continue with this season. And chances are you'll be wanting more by the end of it.Disc 1 - 3 starsDisc 2 - 2 starsDisc 3 - 4.5 starsDisc 4 - 4.5/5 stars

Love this show. Hilarious

This review is short and sweet.......Cheers is simply brilliant. Not just this season (8) but all of them.I have all the seasons from 1st to last.Extremely funny and witty.Clever comedy.Brilliant cast.Some amazing humour.So much uhmour in fact that as you watch them again anad again its almost like you see things you think you missed or things you may have forgotten.I watched this when it came out in 80's/90's and loved it.Americans are not always 'there' when it comes to humour but with this; they have it totally spot on. Sheer comedy brilliance.Only flaw i would say is not the comedy itself, but the reproduction quality on a handful of episodes here and there is fairly poor quality (adio and visual) i think if memory serves me right; season 7 & 8 mainly. Possibly a couple of others. Only a few episodes so mainly i would say master tapes may be a bit knackered.So dont let this put you off. It dosent actually ruin it as such. And like i said, its not a reflection on the actual show/s in question.

Good price and fast shipping.

Sadly, I was unable to view this item on the DVD player we have here.It's for the US Region and I, stupidly, paid no attention to the notesthat would have warned me about it.I asked the supplier, All your Music, about a possible exchange for another DVD.Promptly, they said I could return the DVD and get a refund. No Problem.How good is that? Service with a smile.I am more than pleased, Thank you. Elaine.

Cheers is an all-time classic sitcom that ranks as a personal favorite of mine. The writing is snappy; the humor is real. Season #8 brings many laughs. I certainly recommend it.
