I think one major difference that separated between the Diane and Rebecca yrs is one that is always overlooked, and actually kinda sublime.
its the score of the episodes (the muscial score). u know, transition music, music played over the "Cheers is filmed..." voiceover, music played after the theme; music usually played during exterior shots...
usually, seasons at a time would have repeat music, and every so often, an ep. would have music that was unique to that one ep., but still in the style and feel of that current season.
seasons 1-3 had similar music, and most of it would get repeated several times.
seasons 4-5 had similar music to these 2 seasons, tho some was reused from seasons 1-3, and some was actually redone from those first 3 seasons, mostly in season 4. reason? as far as i can tell, cuz the show was now in stereo, and they wanted 2 show that off (hey, they redid the theme!) alot of it was repeated within these 2 years too.
season 6, w/ the "new rebecca yrs" starting, had a totally diff. feel. maybe it was the new, "professional" look of the bar, or the new leading woman. or maybe it was the newer, more "sophisticated" sounding music. actually, alot of it was redone season 4-5 music, in the "new" style. some was repeated, tho not much.
seasons 7-8 began to use totally new stuff, kinda season 6's sophisticated style, but w/ a more "comtemporary" feel to them. some of it WAS season 6's music, some was Redone season 6 music (some of which was redone season 4-5 music in the first place). again, some was repeated, but even less this time.
Seasons 9-11 used season 7-8 music, maybe a few times in season 9 w/ , but otherwise was all totally new. some of this music was also repeated, but usually only within each season.
all of it fit the show perfectly (i think lol), and the same guy did it the entire show (his name is above the theme song credit in the ending theme...forget it right now). repeating music was to give this guy a break lol
to go along w/ this, why did they use the New exterior shots of the bar, starting around season 9 i think, for the later part of that season, and 10, then go back to the old ones for most of 11?
there was another thing i know i wanted 2 post w/ this ,but i forget it. maybe ill remember lol (or prob. not)
