Packaging and organization of each year's set of discs well done. Attractive, easy to use. Better than the Chinese Frasier set bought a year ago for half the price.
Production residue, or "dust," in new product requires cleaning of several discs before use. Real nuisance.
Segments on each disc require depressing manual "play" button to begin the next installment. Nuisance. Each disc should be formatted with a "play all" element, so the viewer only has to tend to the play button one time per disc.
Otherwise, the color, sound and viewing quality of the reproductions are good to very good.

absolutely delightful to watch the series from the very beginning. Writers were wonderful. It's nice to laugh out loud at television once again

Cheers to Cheers! This DVD set is great for everyone who liked this TV show. Sound and picture quality are excellent. Always some laughs which is a welcome relief in today's world.

CHEERS... my all-time favorite television show. Without question without peer. This show started off at the bottom and quickly endeared itself to the nation until it reached the number one slot on television.

Carla (Rhea Perlman) is the only actor who is less than stellar, but her character is so overwrought with zaniness that the acting matters not. Cliff (John Ratzenberger) created himself into one of the most well-known and well-spoofed of characters in television lore. Is it a coincidence that the demise of our U.S. Postal Service was inversely proportional to the increased popularity of this brainless two legged barstool? Norm (George Wendt)... got himself typecast into such a beloved role for which the actor would never wish to live down. (MARRIED WITH CHILDREN's own Al Bundy cannot compare to the character recognition of Mr. Wendt's "Norm (Norman) Peterson." Woodrow Tiberias Boyd (Ole "Woodhead" Woody Harrelson himself) and Coach (Nick Colasanto) complete the ensemble cast that (along with the leads of Sam Malone (Ted Danson), Diane "Don't you think if I could have sent her to prison I would have" Chambers (Shelley Long) and Rebecca (Backseat Becky/ Beck Beck as played by Kirstey Alley) gave life to a television show rarely matched before or since in comedic genius with heartwarming tenderness.

Just watching George Wendt agrily chasing Cliff Clavin around the bar after having just been released from jail is worth the cost of this set. One needs only to watch a few episodes to recognize the genuine comradery that exists among most of the cast members (including the episode where in several spit balls are seen in Woody Harrelsons hair complements of George Wendts off-camera shenannigans.)

This show remains nearly timeless with humor that holds up to modernity and maturity. Some writing gaffes occurred through the 11 seasons but none as egregious as those found on such notable NBC hit shows as FRIENDS and SEINFELD.

CHEERS is truly MUST SEE TV.

I only wish that there were bonus features to be found after the second season. The cast members were notorious practical jokers... such footage alone would be wonderful.

I love the series Cheers! It is a true American classsic.I am so tired of the reality stuff on TV .This show just makes me laugh and enjoy life.. This show takes me away to a fun filled/ sexy/dramatic time in a Boston bar in the 1980's. Love it!

The only thing I didn't like about the DVD set is that you are forced to watch previews for other shows before you have access to the Cheers episodes menu. I don't think this is right considering the cost of the DVDs.Cheers - Seasons 1-11

A classic comedy series. Every night before bedtime we watch a few episodes & laugh our heads off. It was a great investment!!

CHEERS-THE COMPLETE SERIES: The undisputed "king-daddy" of all ensemble sitcoms, Boston based watering hole CHEERS was the place "where everybody knew your name" (especially if it happened to be NORM), but amazingly, no one ever seemed to smoke or play the jukebox. CHEERS's employees and patrons were as varied and charismatic a cast as any ever assembled for TV...TED DANSON's skirt chasing former SOX pitcher SAM MALONE, SHELLEY LONG's intellectual snob DIANE CHAMBERS, KIRSTIE ALLIE's hapless golddigger REBECCA HOWE, acid-tongued waitress CARLA TORTELLI, barstool bookends CLIFF and NORM, KELSEY GRAMMER's droll shrink FRASIER CRANE...these were all people you knew in real life, or at least would gladly share a brew with if you met 'em. Stellar writing, eccentric recurring regulars, and quirky guest stars such as JOHN CLEESE, CELTICS legend KEVIN MCHALE, and THE RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS helped make CHEERS "the" place to visit for eleven fun-filled seasons...a vintage destination, that, like a fine wine, actually improved with age.

RATING: FIVE REFILLS

The complete series is really a timeless classic, and I'm glad it's available. So many laughs and good times spent watching this show over the course of it's run.

We have been watching and enjoying the entire Cheers series on DVD. We are into Season 8 now. Some of the shows for Season 7 were out of sequence and did not belong in Season 7. Whoever put these shows on DVD didn't get their sequence research correct.

The video quality is adequate, but NOT HD. We have watched some of the early shows in HD on TV, so we know that at least some of the seasons have been converted to HD.

Some of the video quality on these DVD disks is marginal in places, so if you're expecting great HD quality you will be disappointed. We weren't expecting anything more than standard quality so we are not complaining.

There may be a day in the future when all shows will be converted to HD, but the Cheers and Frasier series are not currently available in anything more than standard quality. Still, using an up-converting DVD player and an HDMI cable attached to our HD Sony TV, these shows look great.

MY HUBBY AND I WERE DEVOTED CHEERS FANS WHEN IT WAS ON THE TUBE.... RELIVING THE WHOLE ELEVEN YEARS OF THE SERIES HAS BEEN A RIOT....WE LOVE THE DVD SET AS MUCH AS WE DID THE ORIGINAL TV SERIES.....
