Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

For its fourth season, Cheers served up a new bartender. Following the death of Nicholas Colasanto, who had played Coach, the season premiere introduced Woody Boyd (Woody Harrelson), the Indiana hick who certainly didn't raise the bar's collective IQ but had his own brand of endearing goofiness. That episode, "Birth, Death, Love and Rice," also explained what happened at the end of season 3 when Sam (Ted Danson) chased Diane (Shelley Long) and Frasier (Kesley Grammer) to Italy in hopes of preventing their marriage. The end result is that Diane returns to work at the bar and resumes her sexually charged flirtation with Sam, and Frasier becomes a brooding presence always looking for a way to win her back. Jennifer Tilly guest-stars as one of Sam's ex-girlfriends who actually hits it off with the petulant psychiatrist, but stealing the show in the same episode ("Second Time Around") was Dr. Lilith Sternin (Bebe Neuwirth), in what was supposed to be a five-minute one-shot role. The impossibly buttoned-up Sternin was such a perfect match for Frasier that she later became a regular cast member and won two Emmys.

In other memorable episodes, Andy Andy (Derek McGrath) returns to terrorize Diane ("Diane's Nightmare"), the gang tries to turn the tables on Gary's Old Town Tavern in a bowling match ("From Beer to Eternity"), and Frasier sets up a night at the opera ("Diane Chambers Day"). In the three-part season finale ("Strange Bedfellows"), Sam begins dating a politician (Kate Mulgrew, later of Star Trek: Voyager) running for reelection. Diane decides to work for her opponent before taking a more drastic step, leading to Sam's memorable telephone call that served as a cliffhanger leading to season 5. Unlike previous seasons, the DVD set has no extras. --David Horiuchi

5.0 out of 5 stars Here we go!!, November 11, 2004

By	cjh "Chris" (Philadelphia, PA USA) - See all my reviews

Cheers The Complete Fourth Season is finally being released. Amen! I got the first three seasons the day they came out, had them reserved weeks in advanced, and I'm gonna do the same with The Fourth Season of the greatest show of all time. This is the first season with Woody Harrelson, as Woody Boyd, since Nicholas Colasanto, who played Coach died late in the third season. I will truely miss Coach since he was classic, and hilarious, but I welcome Woody Harrelson to the cast. He's hilarious too! The Complete Fourth Season of Cheers is phenominal. A lot of classic moments, including The Cheers gangs first mix up with Gary's Old Towne Tavern, at the bowling alley,and the classic three episode season ender when Sammy is dating the politician women Janet Eldridge, and at he end askes Diane to marry him. This season is also the first time we see Lilith. Cliffie, and Norm, and Carla are as hilarious as ever as well. So join the gang at Cheers for its classic Complete Fourth Season. I just read on tvshowsondvd.com that there are gonna be no extras on CHEERS or Frasier The Complete Fourth Seasons. But we buy Cheers for the episodes, so its ok with me. Cheers is still classic, and I don't need extras. The episodes are enough. I certaintly won't give it less stars just because of no extras. The episodes themselves merit the 5 star rating. So still join Sammy,Cliffie,Normie,Woody,Diane,and Carla, in a place where everybody knows your name.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cheers: A Place Where Everybody Knows Your Name, March 19, 2005

By	Rama Rao "Rama" (Annandale, VA, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Cheers is a friendly Boston bar where everybody knows your name: For those of us who watched this show week after week during 1980s and later in reruns know that this is one of the greatest sitcoms ever made on TV. This DVD set contains all the 26 episodes of fourth season in four discs. This season makes two important additions to the series; following the death of Nicholas Colasanto (Coach), the season introduced Woody Boyd (Woody Harrelson), and Dr. Lilith Sternin (Bebe Neuwirth), who becomes match for Frasier. Later both win Emmy awards for their supporting roles. In this season we are presented with very interesting episodes such as when Sam visits Diane in a convent after she returns from Italy. Frasier tries to get over Diane and start dating Lilith. In other episodes, the gang tries to turn the tables on Gary's Old Town Tavern in a bowling match ("From Beer to Eternity"), and in the three-part season finale, Sam begins dating an older woman, a local politician (Kate Mulgrew) running for reelection, and Sam's memorable telephone call asking her to marry him, which many viewers remember. This set is reasonably priced and I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to enjoy a great sitcom.
