Minor problems prevent perfect rating, July 2 2008
This review is from: Cheers: Season 9 (DVD)
I own all seasons (so far) of Cheers, and my wife and I have noticed a minor problem that, while it doesn't detract from enjoying the show, is odd in itself.
During some episodes, when the camera angle changes in the middle of a dialogue exchange in the same scene, the picture quality changes dramatically, as if the original footage had been damaged and had to be replaced - last minute - with raw / replacement footage. You may notice a sudden change in lighting (bright and then suddenly dark) or odd colour changes (Rebecca's dress will go from a lovely shade of blue to an off-purple, and back again).
We first noticed these problems during Season 7, but they appear to occur more often with Season 9.
On the plus side, we are very happy with the change of packaging, allowing 5 discs to fit into the same size DVD case as a normal 1 disc movie. This certainly conserves shelf space, which I admit is getting rather full now that I own all seasons of Raymond (HUGE cases!), Frasier, and now almost Cheers.
See what others of you think - have you seen these quality shifts happening with your copies?
One thing is for sure - nobody else has Amazon's prices, that's for sure (at least in Canada). With the free shipping, it's the best rate around, saving us any hassle to try to comparisson shop with places like HMV or Music World (now closed) or other DVD retailers. Save yourself the time - AND GAS COSTS, and get all your sets here. I'm not kidding, I'm the biggest deal-hound around, ask anyone.

subtle changes, Mar 19 2011
This review is from: Cheers: Season 9 (DVD)
i am a huge fan of cheers but one thing i am a little disappointed in are the changes they have done to the episodes.They have put in reworked scenes that never did exist during the original viewing on tv/not added footage-but totally replaced footage and removed what originally was there.i will not go into detail but if you are a cheers fan i am sure you will see what i mean in certain episodes.And though i do like the newer slimmer appearance-for a show that was so rich in its history and star power it was sure a dull interior for the fan to open up to.Great show but poor overall rating
