Features: DVD
It's the cozy little Boston bar where everybody knows your name...welcome to Cheers -- the Emmy Award-winning, smash-hit television series that kept the laughs uncorked for 11 years. In Cheers: The Complete Second Season, love is in the air -- or is it? -- as Sam "Mayday" Malone (Ted Danson) and Diane Chambers (Shelley Long) launch their turbulent, on-again off-again romance. Other hilarious Season Two highlights include Carla's (Rhea Perlman) dismay at the sudden reappearance of her ex-husband, Nick Tortelli (Dan Hedaya), and his new bride (Jean Kasem); and Coach (Nicholas Colasanto) returns to the baseball field as the tyrannical manager of a Little League team! Barflies Norm (Geroge Wendt) and Cliff (John Ratzenberger) add to the laughs with romantic entanglements and comic misadventures of their own, and episode guest stars include Dick Cavett, Christopher Lloyd, Fred Dryer, Markie Post and Harry Anderson. Enjoy all 22 episodes, complete and uneditied, in the laugh-filled second season of TV's classic comedy hit...Cheers!
