Cheers has to be looked at as two different shows. The Diane and Rebecca years were so completely different.

I thought the Rebecca years were funny, but it was more slapstick, juvenile humor. My biggest gripe was Sam being incredibly dumbed down. He was not the same Sam Malone that sparred with Diane Chambers. The Diane years were a more sophisticated, smarter brand of humor. Sam and Diane also had unbelievable chemistry that could never be duplicated.

Both versions of the show are funny in their own way, so I voted for never jumped. However, I prefer the Diane years.

Cheers was The Beverly Hillbillies for the '80s.

Don't believe me?

The Beverly Hillbillies garnered a huge audience by being about two vastly different sets of people - snobby "old money" and down-to-earth "new money" - and structuring the show so that half the audience would laugh at the Clampetts and the other half would laugh at the Drysdales, et al.

Cheers garnered a huge audience by being about two vastly different sets of people - snobby intellectuals and down-to-earth barflies - and structuring the show so that half the audience would laugh at Diane and the other half would laugh at Sam, et al.

Anyhow, the show jumped when it became more and more heavily skewed towards the Clampett/Sam half of the audience. They dumbed it waaaaaaay down over the years.

It jumped after Season 5 without question. The storyline with Sam & Diane was the true bond of the show. It could be funny after that but it was never the same at all. Just look at the final scene of Season 5. That tells us what Sam really wanted but could never have.

A while back, I posted messages on various sites regarding the issue of Cliff's mother having moved back to Boston after having already set up shop in Florida. At one point, someone had posted a response saying that she moved back to Boston after having lost all of her money at the dog track in Florida. This poster then went on to say that this was expressed through just one line! There are a couple of things about this situation that I am wondering about. In the first place, if this was expressed through just one line, what else went on in the episode? Also, how did they deal with the reality of Cliff giving up life in the singles' village and taking an apartment with his mother?

Forget Sam, Dianne, Rebecca, Woody and even Frasier. The best character on the show was Lilleth, followed by Norm.

Were there weak episodes? Yep, every series got 'em. Did it ever jump the shark? Never even got near fresh water much less salt water. No sharks in sight here. You might not have liked the replacements as cast members left and died, but the writers handled the transitions incredibly well, and were able to adapt to new personalities and situations. Great writing, great acting, great comedy

I'm amazed so many contributors liked the Diane years better than the the Rebecca years. Diane's snobby personality was getting really tiresome. Likewise, the Coach was a one joke persona. Other supporting characters were not yet fully developed in the Diane era. The post-Diane cast included Woody, who got involved in in a wider variety of story lines and a full time Frazier who added a lot. The show was good with Diane, but better when she left.

JTS when Diane left. It had some funny episodes after that, but it was never as good.

The final scenes of the series had Sam and the gang contemplating the meaning of life - HUH? The episode was great up until Sam & Diane announce they're getting married.

A better ending would've been if Sam had freaked out after being with Diane, afraid she'd read too much into it. Diane finally tells Sam that she has no such ideas of a future with him, but is glad they can be friends. Sam thinks he's off the hook until later when John Hill gets his final revenge on Sam by announcing that he has sold Melvilles to Diane. That way, we would never know if Sam & Diane get back together or not. classic way to end the series IMO.

When they kept humiliating Sam/Cheers regulars with the competing bar (Gary's Old Towne Tavern?)....even changed Sam's backstory to do it....also by making Sam into the superficial, two-dimensional character he never really was before.

I loved the first 9 seasons, but thought it degenerated into a very mediocre sitcom the last 2, except perhaps a couple episodes.

Poor comedy, poor acting and exhibiting a bar as a place where folks never get drunk and disorderly about covers my opinion of this trash of a cit-com.
This show was the most overrated in TV history.

This show actually jumped in reverse. Had it started they way it did today, it would have been canceled. It actually got better each year.

not a fan of Woody Harrelson's terrible acting, how the guy ever made it as an actor is crazy.

I still watched the show until the end. So I don't think it jumped.

Favorite character is easily Sam Malone. Favorite episode is when he gets into a bet with a French guy to see who can get the most phone #'s in one night. The ending is halirious.

to the poster about about Diane being the love of Sam's life - Norm's point was the bar was the love of his life - he put his whole life figuratively and literally into the bar - true the show maybe limped a little at the end, (but how may storylines could they come up after 270 episodes...) but at least after the show ended, we know that Norm and Cliff etc...will be seated there having insignificant bar debates (the best TV car, etc) with Sam, Paul or anyone who will listen. The characters on Cheers were not interested in their own character development, they would have single episodes trying to improve themselves, but only realize they liked being the "insignificant nobodies" they were - Cliff trying to change his personality, Norm would work for awhile, etc. one reason they self-admittedly lived vicariously thru Sam. Only in Sam did we see a true change in character from season 1 to the end.
