Cheers was the prime sitcom of the ’80s. The series about a basement bar in Boston went from barely surviving its first season to becoming such a success that airport bars were made to look like Cheers. Fans were eager to shout, “Norm!” and “Cliff!” when they came through the front door. The show lasted 11 seasons and went out on top. Regulars of the show are going to see even more of their favorite watering hole when Cheers: The Complete Series comes out on Blu-ray. You might finally figure out what is hanging on the walls. The boxset is due out April 25. We’ll have an update when bonus features are announced. Here’s the press release from CBS Home Entertainment:
Wander in…pull up a stool… and make yourself at home “where everybody knows your name” with Cheers: The Complete Series, featuring all 270 episodes from 11 seasons plus entertaining featurettes on 33 discs—with vivid picture and sound quality. Ted Danson stars as Sam Malone, former relief-pitcher for the Boston Red Sox. From snooty, erudite Diane (Shelley Long) to ruthless corporate careerist Rebecca Howe (Kirstie Alley)—Sam remains a (somewhat) calming presence in his beloved establishment.
