Wander in…pull up a stool… and make yourself at home “where everybody knows your name” with Cheers: The Complete Series, featuring all 270 episodes from 11 seasons plus entertaining featurettes on 33 discs—with vivid picture and sound quality. Ted Danson stars as Sam Malone, former relief-pitcher for the Boston Red Sox. From snooty, erudite Diane (Shelley Long) to ruthless corporate careerist Rebecca Howe (Kirstie Alley)—Sam remains a (somewhat) calming presence in his beloved establishment.

Enjoyable series
This isn't the place to review the series--that belongs on a site like IMDB. This is a review of the product and I had no trouble with it. All the discs loaded properly and play correctly. I am a bit disappointed about the lack of special features on the set (there are just a couple not-really-all-that-special-features on the first couple seasons, then nothing) and would take off a third of a star for that.As to the series, it holds up fairly well. The characters are professionals who ply their craft well. Some of the jokes are dated and wouldn't be attempted in today's climate, but that's true for anything in hindsight.Overall, many hours of good times.

Where Everybody Knows Your Name
A toast to "Cheers" (1982–93): eleven seasons, 275 episodes. It's a landmark comedy for all the expected reasons: consistently funny scripts, well defined characters that are well acted by talented comedians. Sam's bar and its regular customers became for many of us a surrogate family, and we welcomed the oddball guests and occasional celebrities who visited the joint.The show was slow in finding its audience. Once it did, it stayed in the top twenty for its earliest seasons, slumped somewhat in the middle, then picked back up as it neared conclusion. It was a bit phenomenal in spinning off so many other series, notably "Frasier."The remastering of the episodes is great: good video and audio. The product's cardboard case contains two thick plastic binders, with plastic leaves that hold discs laid over discs. As always, it's a challenge to withdraw and replace discs. If you're careful, scratching and security shouldn't be a problem, Each disc is labeled with the episodes it contains."Cheers" can be watched out of continuity, but it's fun to start at the beginning and watch the show evolve as the characters because deeper, quirkier, funnier, and better interrelated with one another.If you can find it at an acceptable price, it's sure to return hours of witty entertainment.

Comfort for life
This is a comfort show that we all have watched. Some love it some hate it. For me, when I’m sick I can feel myself getting happier from watching sam and the gang getting in to some sort of mischief. Where everybody knows your name, you never feel alone. Norm is right at his seat and cliff, his postman pal, cliff, right besides norm telling his normal bs stories all day. Tall tales, small victories and some pretty major losses actually make this series go from fantastic to jumping the shark with one rewritten character. Good bye Diane, hello s****y actress.What a bummer of an end that was. Corporations writing evil corporations on screen are not even able to get the hostile work environment corrected. Diane was why the early days were so good and relatable. Not over produced sitcoms of the late 80’s early 90’sAll that said, I love the show and would buy again in Blu-ray in a heartbeat

Plastic case broke immediately!!!
While the discs seem fine and the episodes hold up all these years later, I do have one issue that I'd like to bring to everyone's attention: The plastic case that holds all the discs is the least flexible, most brittle, weakest plastic I've ever experienced. The case snapped in half the very first time I opened the box set, I don't think it actually had the ability to flex in the middle where it needed to in order to open properly.If push comes to shove I can always just get one of those disc sleeve book things and keep the DVDs in there instead, but it would've been nice to enjoy the box set in the box set. Show is still as funny as ever though and the price was more than fair.

Looks great
What a classic series and all the discs played great. Each season has it's own case. Very well packaged. Highly recommend. Worth the money.
