In its sixth season, Cheers introduced its second major--and most significant--cast change. Following the events of season 5, Sam (Ted Danson) returns from his aborted around-the-world boat trip to find the old gang gone, Carla (Rhea Perlman) and Woody (Woody Harrelson) wearing uniforms more fit for a barbershop quartet, and a tough new boss who reportedly "eats live sharks for breakfast." The new boss, Rebecca (Kirstie Alley, probably best known at the time for her appearance in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and later to anchor such series as Veronica's Closet and Fat Actress), grudgingly hires back Sam, but has him positively befuddled with her resistance to his masculine wiles. She's not as tough as she seems, however, getting weak in the knees at the thought or sight of her corporate boss, Evan Drake (Tom Skerritt).
After the Diane debacle, the irony of the sixth season is that wedding bells are in the air. Carla is on the verge of hitching up with her Boston Bruins boyfried, Eddie LeBec (Jay Thomas), until a string of bad luck threatens to tear apart the "two most superstitious people in the world." Then Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) is the victim of a prank that turns serious when he decides to dump live-in psychologist-lover Lilith (Bebe Neuwirth) in order to "pursue the fair Rebecca." Other events of the season include Sam as a rapping sportscaster, Sam and Woody being sold in a charity auction, Woody entering a romance with an older woman while dressed up as Mark Twain, and another showdown with Gary's Old Town Tavern. Cheers missed Shelley Long, but it remained a high-quality show; her career missed Cheers infinitely more. --David Horiuchi

I first bought this series from an Amazon store, at a reduced price, but the main menu "wobbled", and I couldn't fast forward thru the ads and junk at the beginning of the cd. I viewed the 1st 2 discs, then sent it back to the independent seller, and bought the set from Amazon, thinking I could fast forward thru the junk and the cd wouldn't be distorted. Both problems remain. Anyone else having this problem? My other cd's work fine.

I've noticed some reviewers have give this season a one star because of Shelley Long's departure from the series. Why should the series have to constantly focus on two characters when there is obviously much other talent.
Season 6 and the Rebecca years were the best of the series because the entire cast became essential to its success. The Cheers gang became more of a family with their likes and dislikes. We see more of Norm, Cliff, Frasier, Lileth, and even later characters like Phil, Al and Paul make great additions.
This is what Cheers is about; a nice neighbourhood bar with close friendships. No longer do we have to watch the dull Diane at odds with Sam an entire episode. Sam still plays a prominent role, but now interacts with a whole range of charaters.
In conclusion, it just works. I own only seasons 6 and up and will never buy the Diane seasons.

Another great season and I think most fans will be very satisfied. The acting was great, the episodes were ALL funny, all of them strong, no weak episodes in the bunch. Sam's reaction to finally seeing Rebbecca walk through the door in episode 1 is a classic.

The departure of Shelley Long from Cheers was a difficult hurdle to overcome, and her departure certainly left some shoes that needed filled. In retrospect, however, it seems like it was for the best. Kirstie Alley joins the cast in Season 6 as Rebecca Howe, a corporate brown-noser who ends up managing the bar because she can't seem to cut it at the corporate level. Sam, of course, is attracted to her, but the nature of his pursuit is different then it was with Diane, and is therefore fresh and not repetitive.
Cheers, in fact, does just fine without Diane. By Season 6 Frazier and Lilleth are regulars on the show, and the cast just seems balanced. Norm and Cliff continue to entertain, Carla continues to make her wisecracks, and Woody continues to play the dumb country bumpkin. Sam continues to womanize, though he's getting older now, and Rebecca and the Cranes bring an eclectic mix of personality into the already dynamic cast. The impressive thing about Cheers is that it made it Eleven seasons and yet remained fresh and exciting through almost all of it. This season features some hilarious episodes, and certainly some of the most memorable. It also features a stint by Tom Skerritt as Evan Drake, the corporate bigwig Rebecca is in love with. All in all this is a great season.
