Cheers - The Complete Ninth Season

Just read on TV tattle Season 10 will be released on September 2nd,so maybe Paramount is listening to us. I can't imagine why the delay in releasing the ninth season, but I m glad it is here. Hopefully the final season will be released shortly thereafter so we can own all 11 seasons of one of the greatest sitcoms ever.

After waiting a long time for this season to come out i was very disappointed when i saw that they changed the case for the box set. I hate it when they do that mid release of a tv series on dvd. sometimes i feel like not even buying it because of this reason. I dont know who they have working on the sets for any tv show they do that to but they need to be fired and replaced with someone who has some common since. but other then that the show is great. just hope the next season doesn't take a few years to come out.

CHEERS will always be among our favorite TV shows of all time.

It came out at a time when "charm and wit" as well as good writing and only subtle sexual humor was tossed into TV shows.
(Unlike the majority of modern TV shows which are like one trick ponies simply relying on one crude sex joke after another with no real creativity).

We of course have been buying ALL the Cheers episodes on DVD because this is a show we would rather watch 100 times over on a rainy night as opposed to 98% of the stuff on TV today.

HOWEVER........ having said that.
Magic never lasts forever.
Even for CHEERS.

Season 9 was the season where one could really detect a major difference in the writing and the feel of the show.
The old charm of Cheers seems to be fading away and replaced with pretty silly and "over the top" story lines that don't have the same feeling.

We of course will also buy Season 10-11 when they come out (hopefully)........ but like all things in life........ there comes a time when things begin to fade and eventually die.

Season 9 marks the beginning of the end for this great, legendary TV series.

Finally season 9 has been released; my favourite season of Cheers. I especially enjoyed the introduction of John Hill, Sam's new nemesis. Furthermore the entire cast continue to play bigger roles, a trend which started in the 6th season. The Diane years were boring, as was Diane herself. For me the series begins with season 6, and season 9 is the series' height of creativity.

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.
