Let's face it: you probably couldn't get this without Damages!

Ted Danson's a hot name on television once more thanks to his wonderfully wicked turn opposite Glenn Close in FX's legal drama, Damages. Since he's back in the limelight, CBS/Paramount has announced long-awaited DVD releases for Becker - The 1st Season, and also this morning for Cheers - Season 9!

The eighth season - which famously ends with Sam Malone (Danson) finally getting ownership of the bar back from the corporation he sold it to when Diane (Shelley Long) left - came out on DVD way back in June 2006. For a year and a half (and while spin-off series Frasier was completed on home video) fans of Cheers have desperately awaited some word of the last three season set releases: seasons 9, 10 and 11.

This morning CBS DVD and Paramount Home Entertainment revealed that Cheers - Season 9 will make it to DVD on April 29th with 25 half-hour episodes. Guest stars include Boston Celtic Kevin McHale, Arsenio Hall, Frances Sterghagen (returning as Cliff's mother), Bobby Hatfield of The Righteous Brothers, former 3-time Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis, and former "Agent 99" (of Get Smart) Barbara Feldon. Stay tuned for package art and further details about this release, just as soon as we can get it!

I love Seinfield and have been watching the first 7 over and over till I was worried I would get tired of them so I went back to a show that used to be my favorite - Cheers - and I have fallen in love with the show all over again. Everyone was great on the show and I think Ted Danson has to be one of the most under rated actors. (I hope he won some Emmys though if he won every year he would still be under rated.)He is effortless and perfect as Sam... One thing though...I noticed in the first few seasons was that the audience at times was a little subdued, but it also had a very likable "play" feeling to the show. There were times when the actors were particulary good when they even received some aplause. (Andy Andy and Frazier come most readily to mind.) The laughs came naturaly with the studio audience, and with me watching at home. My one problem with season 8 is that they have put in a very annoying laugh track. The shows are good and still well written and it is a shame they did not continue to trust their audience.

CHEERS IS ONE OF MY FAVORAITE SHOWS OF ALL TIME I WISH THEY WOULD RELEASE THE REST OF THE SEASONS I THINK THERE ARE 3 LEFT.I HOPE THE DONT DO WITH THIS SHOW WHAT THEY DID WITH QUINCY AND KOJACK

Cheers, very simply, was one of the greatest situation comedies of all time. And Season 8, first aired in 1989-90, was one of the best. Some of the funniest episodes include the season premiere "The Improbable Dream (Part 1)" as well as "The Stork Brings a Crane," "The Art of the Steal," "Feeble Attraction," "Severe Crane Damage," "50-50 Carla," and the two-part season finale "Cry Hard" and "Cry Harder."

It is my sincere hope that the remaining seasons of this fantastic TV series will be released. I especially want to relive the classic wisecracks between Carla and John Allen Hill (owner of Melville's), which can only be found in Seasons 9, 10, and 11. In addition, I want to see Season 10's hilarious two-part finale (Woody and Kelly's wedding day) and of course the extraordinary series finale in which Shelley Long reprises her role of Diane Chambers.

If these remaining seasons ever get released, there are sure to be loads and loads of "cheers."
