Product Description

Ted Danson, Kirstie Alley, Rhea Perlman. After selling the bar to a large compnay, Sam is back from retirement" and looking for his old job back-but the new manager isn't going to make it easy for him! 25 episodes on 4 DVDs. 1987-88/color/10 hrs., 14 min/NR/fullscreen.

Amazon.com

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

Enter the neurotic Rebecca Howe

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 21, 2006

The sixth season of Cheers saw the second major cast change in the history of the show. Only two years after Woody Harrelson's Woody Boyd replaced the beloved Coach, played by Nicholas Colasanto, Kirstie Alley stepped into the large shoes left by the departure of Shelley Long as season six began.

As a youngster, I didn't begin watching Cheers until the later years, thus I only remember Cheers with Rebecca, not Diane Chambers. Watching the first five seasons on DVD truly helped me appreciate the amazing chemistry between Ted Danson's Sam Malone and Long's Chambers. Surely everybody knew it would be tough to have that chemistry again, but viewers stuck with the show and it continued to be one of the top comedy shows on the air.

As the season begins, we find Woody and Carla (Rhea Perlman) still working at Cheers, but wearing goofy green and white striped shirts, as Sam has sold the bar to a large corporation and taken off on his boat after Diane left him. Norm (George Wendt), Cliff (John Ratzenberger) and Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) still inhabit their favorite watering hole, despite the changes.

However, after his boat sinks, Sam returns to Cheers, looking to go back to the glory days he enjoyed in his bar. Instead, he has to return first as a relief bartender, then as a full time bartender under the watchful eye of the new boss, Rebecca Howe.

Kirstie Alley truly shined in the role of Rebecca. Her neurotic and nervous behavior is absolutely perfect and she is able to get a great chemistry with Sam right away. It is obvious that Sam is into Rebecca, and the more she stays away, the harder he works to get to her. Rebecca's ridiculous crush on her boss (Played by Tom Skeritt) is a great story line and her constant snubbing of Sam makes for great television moments.

Of course Danson is still strong as former Major Leaguer Sam. He finds it humbling to return to the bar a broken man and takes the part time gig as a way to get back into the place that for so long, was his home. He eventually returns to the Sam viewers knew and loved, playing practical jokes on Gary's Old Towne Tavern and dutifully chasing every woman in Boston.

As Carla, Perlman is an entertainer. In this season, Carla is pregnant. Her and her new husband Eddie LeBec (Jay Thomas) welcome the baby and Carla also finds out that she is going to be a grandmother. Her constant barbing of Cliff is a riot and she takes to putting down Rebecca just as she did Diane for the previous five years.

Ratzenberger and Wendt, as Cliff and Norm, are the greatest barflies in the history of television. While neither will admit it, they are probably each other's best friends. Their crazy ideas and "interesting" conversations are what anyone would hope to find if they walked in to a random bar in the 1980s.

Harrelson continues his portrayal of the innocent Indiana farmboy turned bartender. Woody is one of the best character's on the show, simply because he is so simple and sees things as only black and white. HIs turn as Mark Twain in a local theater production is quite amusing.

Kelsey Grammer joins the regular cast as Dr. Frasier Crane, a psychologist who tends to spend too much time in Cheers. He brings a touch of upper class to the bar, yet at the same time, can fit right in with the guys. This season we get to know the love of his life, Lilith (Bebe Neuwirth) a little better, and the insight into that relationship provides a number of story lines.

Once again, as has been the case with the last few seasons, the one downside to this set is the lack of extras. Surely with the success that this show had, there must be some interviews and such that could be put together. I guess we'll just have to wait for other seasons to see if something comes along.

Cheers - season 6 - DVD - review

4 stars overall for season 6 of Cheers.
.
4 stars for Woody Harrelson portrayal of "senior" bartender Woody Boyd. Hilarious character.
.
4 stars for Bebe Neuwirth portrayal of Dr. Lilith Sternin. Wish that her *underrated* character was in every episode.
.
Enjoyed the character Rebecca Howe portrayed by Kirstie Alley *twice as much* as the character Diane Chambers portrayed by Shelley Long.
.
Not a fan of the character Norm Peterson. Stereotypical character of a negative and despondent man, who hangs out at the bar avoiding his wife at home.

Not in anyway taking away from Shelley Long, or the character she portrayed so well. But, for me the show got better and much more humorous starting with this season.

The decline of a classic show, people kept watching out of habit, and not because it was great T.V... Hello late 1980's!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 9, 2017

I think that they probably should have ended the series at season 5. The show just became a parody of characters after that season. It would have been super balls-y to end the series sort of up in the air with annoying pseudo-intellectual Diane Chambers leaving slutty-never evolving, Sam Malone.
Season 5 in itself was super frustrating, and a perfect example of sit-com writers dragging a story out too long. I suppose they do attempt to pivot the story from Sam, to side characters like Woody Boyd and Carla Tortelli, but maybe they should have just pivoted all the way, and trashed the: "Sam's always trying to bag women to feed his narcissistic ego" story line. Frankly, even though I like Ted Danson as an actor, this performance was too one-dimensional for him. His character was a plastic replica of what it used to be, and no longer very interesting.
The addition of Kirstey Alley to the cast was a good attempt, but maybe instead of Sam immediately attempting to bed her, there should have been another angle. I just found it kind of gross.(It's business as usual, for getting-to-old-for this B.S., shallow ol' Sammy!)
The best stories in Cheers from this point on are the side stories of Lilith and Fraiser Crane, and Woody Boyd courting his super privileged girlfriend Kelly, kelly kelly kelly: K.E.L.L.Y.... Why? Because your Kelly, kelly, kelly.....

Just one grumble...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 23, 2009

Verified Purchase

The comedy is excellent. Some would argue that the series was never the same since "Diane" left and was replaced by "Rebecca". Maybe so, but it allowed new comedic situations to develop which weren't possible with Diane.

My main grumble is the cover. Look at it. It's awful. From series 1 to 5 we had a nice warm colour. Series 6 and 7? We get this primarily white background and a bad picture on the front. Look at Frasier Crane's head - it looks like it's been cut and pasted onto someone else's head for pete's sake! If I hadn't ordered it from Amazon, I'd have sworn it was a pirate copy - it looks that bad compared to the previous covers. Hence the 4 stars instead of 5.

The comedy is great, as always, but the box art...? Yuck.

Cheers was always great, but when the character Rebecca came on board it got even better. After the departure of Diane, I think that the writers and cast felt they needed to up their game to ensure that the viewers still tuned in. It worked - the 6 series from series 6-11 were the best.
