Cheers: Season 9

"Cheers" is my favorite television show of all time and one of the all-time best shows, but the show was starting to get stale by the ninth season. Still, a lesser season of Cheers is a great season.Sam is back in charge of Cheers in this season and things feel normal after a few seasons of corporate ownership. It also featured the 200th show (hosted by John McLaughlin) and such classic sub-plots as Frasier reading Dickens to the Cheers gang and the short-term bartender Earl. As far as characters, the ninth season saw the introduction of Henri and John Allen Hill and the increased prominence of Paul Krapence (the same actor had a different name in earlier seasons). It also saw the (temporary) end of Robin Colcord as a featured character.(One other note: Although many have complained about the new packaging, I prefer the slick and compact packaging of all give discs in one normal-sized DVD case to the large and bulky packaging of the previous seasons.)Cheers was beginning to lose its luster, partly because Sam and Rebecca's relationship had "matured" to the point where they were true friends, but it still remained a fantastic show with a special cast. Although the overall quality of the show had begun to decline by this season, there are too many great jokes, episodes, and characters to give it any less than five stars.

When I got my cheers season 9 dvd and opened it up there was only one disk in it. The DVD had sealed plastic paper around it to make it look new.

Season 9 is a very good one. I like all of the characters and the jokes. Towards the end of season 9 Cliff and Norm seem to have fewer lines and Fraser and Lilith have more. Sam is slowing down with trying to pick up chicks and Carla has grown as a person. I would love to watch the last two seasons but I will have to wait for that until a later date.

My wife and I are still enjoying Cheers. We are well into the 9th season on Amazon Prime. The two part special for their 200th episode was very entertaining. The writing is slipping a bit but the acting is great.

What can I say? It's CHEERS. Still good for a laugh after all these years. An episode or two at bedtime and you can sink into your pillow and imagine yourself sitting at that bar making inane small talk with Norm and Cliffy.OK...what's with the shoulder pads and Rebecca. A truly unattractive style.

After waiting years, seriously, for this release, I was really upset to find the episodes are edited, songs are removed, and all 5 discs are shoved into one standard sized DVD case.The distributors really cheapened the integrity of this otherwise wonderful show. Of course fans should still buy it because afterall, seasons 10 and 11 aren't out yet and the company won't do them unless this one sells okay. Just be warned, you may watch it and your favorite scenes and songs are missing.

great series

Enjoyed watching this season

in this series of cheers we see lillith and frasiers baby growing up,rebeccas now pennyless boyfriend comes out of prison to marry her and she pulls out,norms wife comes to work at the restaurant upstairs and sam asks Rebecca to have his baby and she says yes,and the fun and laughter keeps coming,if like me you want the whole 11 series ,don't do what I did and get them separately.the box set is half the price at £50-£60..do not buy from dvds r us the make slanderouse remarks to you

Never disappoints, but the last episodes are most exciting so, I sugest you buy it..5 well deserved star s!

Bought specifically for the one episode where Frasier and Lilith's son utters his first word. Watched all the other episodes too, though haven't watched it in full for years. Still great. Characters well drawn and dialogue snappy and charming as ever.
