K, I know it's a small thing, especially when Cheers uses so little pop music in the series. But for this reason, you'd think that Paramount could secure rights to the original music used in the episodes.

Here we go: Episode: "Get Your Kicks On Route 666: Song "The Wanderer" by Dion, heard in the exterior shot of Cliff's car as the guys cruise down the highway -- gone -- along with the exterior shot. Hasty edit here.

Episode: "Bar Wars V: The Final Judgement" Song "Monster Mash" By Bobby Boris Pickett" is replaced by generic Halloween music. VERY WEAK! That's just the first disc!

ENOUGH ALREADY! The Fugitive fiasco should have been a wakeup call for the DVD division execs at Paramount. In addition to the greed demonstrated by partial season sets (on other series), this studio is going overboard with this music replacement thing. Fans do notice, and Paramount is trashing it's TV library! This rather irritating fact aside. The video quality, sound and picture are top notch, and would deserve five stars.. if it weren't for the music thing.

The "Sam and Rebecca decide to make a baby together" ongoing story arc in Season 10, for me (as a longtime fan of the entire series) was nowhere near as strong as some of the individual episodes that focused on utilizing the characters, telling a story, and going for big laughs.

A perfect example of this is "One Hugs, The Other Doesn't," featuring laugh-out-loud moments from both the cast and Emma Thompson as kiddie entertainer (and former wife of Frasier) "Nanny G." This one's merciless, easily one of the best single episodes in the entire series. It's full of surprises, full of laughs, and ten seasons in, manages to add even more nuances to well-established characters.

"Get Your Kicks on Route 666" is another stand-alone classic, primarily for the fact that it gets four of the show's male leads out of the bar and into a unique setting...a road trip to find their "inner hairy man." Kelsey Grammer delivers the best line here..."I wouldn't want to run into the wolf who could carry off Norm"...but it's a solid episode from start to finish.

We get a return visit from Annie Golden as Cliff's on again, off again girlfriend Maggie, and of course there's Woody's wedding...every bit as chaotic as you might expect.

Overall, Season 10 is worth a rock-solid four stars...maybe even 4.5. If you collect the series, either via "best episodes" or entire seasons, you can't afford to miss this one.

I am a die-hard Cheers fan, so I liked this DVD. However, I am disappointed that they have made cuts, and in a least one case, actually changed from the original episode.

I have loved CHEERS ever since it premiered on TV and now I can watch it anytime i want to. Season 10 has some of the funniest show of all time and makes me laugh everytime I watch the shows.

Cheers is great. From it we got 22 years of great comedy with Frasier. Also Becker could be included. I recieved it fast and in great shape.

I got the item in a very short period of time, and it was in great condition. It was perfect to give as a gift!

Received Cheers Season 10 from Amazon in good condition. There were no damages. The DVD set is slim and does not occupy much space, but the down side is that its just a plain box - the earlier season sets were bulky but they had photos of some episodes from the season that one could have a look at when unfolding the box.
Season 10 was an enjoyable season with two memorable episodes Woodys wedding and the bar wars episode. Woodys wedding episode is so hilarious, things keep on getting worse and yet the Cheers gang pulls it off - probably one of the best episodes of the entire Cheers franchise. Season 10 was not among the best seasons but hey its CHEERS!! none of the episodes are a drag and they always put a smile back on the viewer.
The only reason why I am giving 4 stars is because the dvd set contains NO EXTRAS - thats disappointing

All in all worth the price

I received Cheers in good condition and in a timely manner. The DVD is a gift for my son that is the Air Force over seas. I know he will love it because he has all the other seasons. Thanks

Since it took season 9 a year and a half to be releaseed after season 8, it is important to show our support for seasons 9 and 10 or else we might have a long wait for season 11. I am still surprised they announced season 10 so close after season 9. Anyways...

This is a great show, but by now in Season 10 things were starting to get stale. They had some great episodes: when Cliff goes on the Johnny Carson show, the episode involving the Boston Celtcs, and the Boyd Wedding sequence. Plus, my favorite episodes are the "BAR WARS" ones, and there are TWO in this season! Still, some episodes that just felt old. It takes until now for Sam and Rebecca to get together, but after so many years of waiting I feel more relieved that it is over than excited for what it potentially could bring to the show.

I won't say that the show jumped the shark in this season, but by now ideas were running out for the show to use. I still love the show, but the magic had started to fade. However, even just a "good" season of Cheers (not "great") is still WAY BETTER than many of the shows out there today. Sam still is a womanizer, Norm loves his beer, Cliff is still annoying, Frasier and Lilith act as weird as ever, and Woody does anything for his girlfriend Kelly.

Classic Cheers, and a great place where everybody knows your name!

This is my all time favorite sitcom. Each week I have friends over to play pool and Cheers is always on. It's great that season 10 didn't take as long to be released as season 9. However, in season 9 there were some disappointments. (1) Some of the original music was replaced. (2) Some scenes were edited (3) The packaging was cheap. No color fold out with pictures, and the DVD's were plain. Paramount has done this before with other releases such as Happy Days. This was very disappointing, especially since we were given no advanced notice and no significant price break. Will Paramount cut corners again? I hope not. We'll have to wait until Sep 2nd to find out.
