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. It's a new beginning for the bar -- and for the gang -- in Cheers: The Complete Sixth Season. After selling the watering hole to a large corporation six months earlier, Sam Malone (Ted Danson) is back from "retirement"...and looking for a job. Holding his employment hopes in her hand is the bar's new manager, the acerbic and neurotic Rebecca Howe (Kirstie Alley). But still hanging around -- and ready to watch the Malone-Howe fireworks -- as the hilarious Cheers staff and patrons, Carla (Rhea Perlman), Woody (Woody Harrelson), Cliff (John Ratzenberger), Norm (George Wendt), and Frasier (Kelsey Grammer). It's a brilliant sixth season, with 25 uproarious episodes and liters and liters of laughs in this classic TV comedy!

Editor's Note
One of the most beloved and critically-acclaimed television series of all time, CHEERS ran for 11 seasons and centered on the colorful staff and patrons of the Boston bar "where everybody knows your name." Run by former Red Sox pitcher and ladies' man Sam Malone (Ted Danson), the establishment's ever-present characters include salty barmaid Carla LeBec (Rhea Perlman), dimwitted bartender Woody Boyd (Woody Harrelson), barflies Norm Peterson (George Wendt) and Cliff Clavin (John Ratzenberger), pompous psychiatrist Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer), and his frosty love interest Lilith Sternin (Bebe Neuwirth). Following the departure of barmaid Diane Chambers (Shelley Long) in Season Five, the sixth season introduced Rebecca Howe (Kirstie Alley) as Cheers' ambitious but neurotic new manager after Sam's sale of the bar to a faceless corporation. Featuring guest appearances by Tom Skerritt, Robert Urich, Jay Thomas, Frances Sternhagen, and Harry Anderson, this collection presents all 25 episodes of CHEERS' Emmy Award-winning sixth season--including "Home is the Sailor," named by TV Guide as an all-time classic.
