If Ted Danson decided to stay, do you think there would've been a 12th season? Would it be any good? Did the show end at a perfect time?

Bri, Bri, Bri.... what about Season 12??

I think the show had a good 3 or 4 seasons left in it.
But then again, as it always comes up.... Frasier would have only worked at that time. (because the other 4 Frasier actors would have surely found something over that time)

Whatever they did, "One For The Road" was the perfect finale.
If they had gone on for more than 11 seasons, they should have put that on hold until the grand finale.

"The Guy Can't Help It" would count as the Season 11 finale. (which works, there was 25 episodes that season anyways, not counting "One For The Road")

I think they would have Kelly and Paul join as regulars.
Maybe have Carla get pregnant again (but this time.... she doesn't know if the father is John Allen Hill or Paul)

I apologize LOL I forgot about season 12.

Back to the original question.... yeah, I think it would have gone on.

Actually, if the cast were up to it.... I could honestly see the show still airing today.

I think it's good they went out on top, I think the actors all wanted to move on and explore their options, and I bet the writers were probably running out of ideas, so it's good they went out while the ratings were still high :)

I think its good that it ended when it did. I still like the whole idea of going out when they're still popular. It would have sucked if they did more seasons and the writing started to stale.

The sole reason the show ended was Ted Danson wanted out.
I know for a fact that Kirstie, Rhea, John, Kelsey, Woody and George all wanted to go on. For how long, Im not sure.... but I think the writers would be up to it.

As far as I know.... Ted was the only person of the entire cast/crew that wanted it to end.

As I said earlier, Frasier is the only good thing that came out of Cheers ending.

Yeah, there's only so long a show can continue before it get repetitive and stale, I don't think anyone would want that for Cheers, that's alot of the reason M*A*S*H ended when it did too, Alan Alda didn't want it to get stale :)

True.... but we really never know how many ideas they had left if the show had gone on. (just look at Season 11, with 28 episodes.... completely obvious that they had ideas stored that they really wanted to get out)

I like what Kelsey Grammer said in an interview, "I ended the show with a new beginning."

One thing is for sure.... they knew they had to at least get to 11.... otherwise Kirstie Alley would've looked like she killed the series. (but this way.... she was in the majority or the seasons)

Hmmm I think they could have gone one more season, but 14 or 15? Nah, sorry, but I don't any of the actors would have stuck it out that long, and the storylines probably would have started to get repetitive. Alan Alda said of M*A*S*H "we did every storyline there was to do for the show, I'm glad we ended it when we did" that's probably not the exact quote, I think that after 12 seasons that's probably how alot of the actors on Cheers would have felt.

M*A*S*H is a different case, they had a sitcom for 11 years.... about a war that lasted less than half as long!!

I honestly think Cheers could have gone on for 3 or 4 more years. If the actors were so desperate to a do a 12th season (which in all the interviews I've seen and read.... they all were aside from Ted), I think they would want to go on for 2 or 3 more after that.

The only person that may have not stayed that long would have been Woody, but Im sure he would have stayed around as he did in Season 11, only about half the episodes here and there, while focusing on his movie career.

If it had gone on, I could see Frasier and Lilith getting a divorce, and have him be single again, maybe landing a radio show in Boston. (it was an idea for an episode once, but it never played out.... and eventually became the premise of Frasier)

Also, unlike Cheers, M*A*S*H really started to show its age. It was still good overall, but there were some really stinky episodes in the last three or four seasons.

The entire cast wanted to call it quits after the tenth season, but CBS begged and pleaded with them to do one more... and naturally gave them all raises. So they stuck it out and did one more season, albeit abbreviated (the eleventh season only had fifteen episodes, plus the two-and-a-half hour TV movie finale).

That's very true, Cheers still did have some fresh storylines compared to M*A*S*H :)

Hmmm well we just see it different :) I think Woody Harrelson would have moved on, I think Kelsey would have too, Bebe already had basically, so there would have been a very bare cast, I could see Rhea moving on too at some point, I think all we would have been left with was Cliff, Norm and Rebecca :)

Just imagine.... Woody as a father AND city councilman (although I heard someone had an idea that he was councilman for three days, and then resigned.... which I thought would have been brilliant)

Maybe a Rebecca/Mr. Gaines romance (as opposed to the rushed Don character)

I dont think Rhea wouldve left.... Kelsey wouldnt have (I mean look.... he did Frasier for another 11 years)
Don't forget Sam.... the whole point of this thread is if Sam had stayed.

Bebe was gone by the 11th Season (which is odd, because some of my favorite episodes about her and Frasier were in Season 11)

Woody resigned in shame, and the gang at the bar had a pact never to bring the ordeal up.

Yeah if they could have convinced Ted to do a few more seasons, then it might have been good, maybe they could have gotten Shelley to return and when the show ended have a Sam/Diane wedding :)

Frasier and Lilith were always my fav. couple on Cheers :)

I was very happy that Sam and Diane didn't get married (for one thing.... it made their Frasier episodes funny).... because if they had gotten married, a reunion would be pointless.

Because there's no "reunion", if everyone is altogether in the first place.

You have a point, I do think there was alot of disappointed people out there who wanted them to get married.

Do you think the Cheers cast will ever do a reunion?

On the off chance they have an in-character reunion (I can hope, can't I?).... I think only Ted, Shelley, Rhea, John, Woody, Kelsey and George would return. Possibly Bebe.... but definately not Kirstie.

Fall 2007 would be the ideal time to have a reunion, 25 Anniversary.

It would have been good if they ended up together if there was at least a 12th season- with Shelly Long back.

Just imagine the bickering and the great storylines there could have been with the two of them as newlyweds.

They could've brought Diane back and gotten many more years out of the new "Diane and Rebecca both in the bar" conflict. ;) jk lol

Seriously, I think it could have probably managed to go a few more years. It was so popular when it went out that even if the ratings DID start to slip after a few years they still could have ended it while it was pretty high.

As far as I know, Lilith would have never happened if Diane wasn't going to leave the show. They wanted to shift the romantic focus to Frasier and Lilith, so Diane's departure wouldn't be as noticed. They only time they really had an "episode" together was "Dinner at Eight-ish" (no wonder so many people list it as a favorite)

This is a little off topic.... but does anybody else wonder why Carla's wedding to Eddie wasn't a big deal??
I would think that would be something they'd save until at season finale or premiere.

Yeah, that's true. But if Diane ever returned in a season 12 or 13, it would have been interesting to see them go beyond "Dinner at Eightish."

Never thought about it...but now that you mention it...most of those major storylines for supporting characters were done mid-season. Remember the one where Coach nearly gets married? Were he one of the main characters, that would have been a season finale.

The only way Diane would return would be if Sam and Diane were to get married practically immediately.... there was no where else for their relationship to go.
And Sam and Diane married wouldn't quite be the same.

Nah, she could have returned to Boston for some other reason. I'd be able to back that idea better up if I had continuted writing the Cheers Again thing.
But they ended the series as friends...so they could have continued as such.

What I meant is that I dont think she would continue coming to the bar if there was no romantic future for herself and Sam. As little pride she has, I just can't see her returning to waiting tables unless she marries Sam and therefore owns half of the bar.

I was thinking more along the lines of her having a life and a job outside of the bar, but going there every once in a while...kinda like Lilith. But, ah, that would never happen. They ruined her character in season 5. I honestly think that storyline was one of their weakest. I only like the episodes from that season that didn't deal with the whole marriage thing.

I liked Diane best in Seasons 1 & 2...3, also, because she was with Frasier. But season 5 she did everything she could to drive Sam Malone out of his mind! :lol:

I hated the fact that they made her obsessed with marriage in season 5. Or, actually, I just hated the fact they made her obsessed with Sam. The worst part was the very uncharacteristic vow to stop working after marriage. That didn't sound like something she'd do.

I think it was to stop waiting tables once she was married. Because when she got married she could have had Sam provide for her for the time being while she writes her novel. Or well, I think. I don't know.

That's the other inconsistency I noted. She could have just written her novel while she was married to him - but no, they used that as an excuse for her departure. Maybe she can't concentrate around Sam??? Oh yeah, that was it. Sumner said she hadn't produced anything worthwhile while she was at that bar with Sam.

Hm Sumner should have gotten his own spinoff.
But something tells me it wouldn't do too well. I don't know how many stories you can get out of a man who has affairs with his students and teaching assistants...plus he's not very likeable as a main character. And if he suddenly became likeable, he'd lose his coolness.

That is true.
Too much of him would be a bad thing.... but there definately wasn't enough.

Season 5 should have ended with Diane and Sumner getting back together.... and they move to Maine (Maine, wasnt it?) to cowrite a novel.

It made more sense for them to part as friends. Getting married on such short notice would have just been another indulgence that would have ended in disaster yet again. It would have meant that they didn't learn anything from the past, that they didn't grow at all.

That's why I liked it so much. It showed how they matured as characters. When they called off the wedding, there wasn't even any shouting, name-calling, typical Sam & Diane fight. They accepted it and moved on.

Tim, it's SAInism :p SAm + dIANe and then "ism" because it made it sound more official.

As much as I love Diane, she wouldn't have been as funny without Sam to play off of.....in fact she would come off as a pretentious snob. I believe it's the same case with Frasier..(although Diane is waaaaaay more entertaining to watch than Frasier because although he is neurotic....she is well deranged....to put it ...lol gently...)

Sam on the other hand I found adorable to just watch....although my infatuation with Ted danson might bias my opinions of Sam in favor of well him....but who cares?
