Features: DVD, Dolby, Digital Audio, English
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 First Season, you'll find all 22 complete, uncut episodes of the show's premiere season and see how this milestone TV comedy series began. Former pro baseball player Sam "Mayday" Malone (Ted Danson) enjoys a playboy lifestyle as the proprietor of the neighborhood hangout, assisted by his befuddled bartender, Coach (Nicholas Colasanto), and his surly waitress, Carla (Rhea Perlman). Cheers also has Norm (George Wendt) and Cliff (John Ratzenberger) -- two of the funniest barflies you'll ever encounter. And completing the show's ensemble cast is Shelley Long as Diane Chambers, a teaching assistant who suddenly finds herself jilted, jobless-and hired as Sam's newest waitress! A hearty round of laughs is served up in each episode of TV's classic comedy hit...Cheers!

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 (Rhea Perlman), flighty bartender Coach (Nicholas Colasanto), barflies Norm (George Wendt) and Cliff (John Ratzenberger), and, of course, Sam's love interest/nemesis Diane Chambers (Shelley Long). This collection includes all 22 episodes from the beloved series' debut season.
