As I'm watching (again) the entire series, I noticed on episode 4 of season 11 that a staff member can be seen in the shot. When I reached episode 13, I saw another staff member.

I don't remember seeing a staff member in previous seasons. Being the last season, I'm starting to wonder if they did it on purpose!

Hmmm how do you know they are staff

Well, maybe not the guy in the second picture with the pink polo shirt (even though I'm 80% sure he's staff), but the one on the first picture is definitely part of the staff. He's moving something (camera? microphone? light?) and has no reason to be there. Perhaps looking at the clip makes it easier to understand.

In Cheers, it's not uncommon to see offstage things when the camera is pointing in that area.

I legit thought the guy in the first screenshot was James Burrows at first glance. Too old c. 1992 to be him, though.

So did I.

Saw another one yesterday. S02E10 @ 9m14.

I can no longer help it. Whenever I see this region of the stage, I look for people that are not meant to be in the shot (staff, audience, etc.) :)
