hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm DEFINITLLY AS MUCH AS I WOULD LIKE TO SAY A BAD CHOICE FOR BOTH THE SHOW AND HER CAREER BEING THE BIG SAM AND DIANE FAN I AM,I also really like Shelley Long the actress and I don,t care for most of her movies and shows after cheers,while i will say that her movie career went down a very big hill though i see it as being it,I honestly don,t know if it would have lasted that long,i defintilly think it would have i should refraze that,but i don,t know if it would have been nearly close to being as highly popular as it was,however i do think it would have been remembered differantlly,well i do enjoy the rebbeca years,I still do agree every single way the show was better with her,she defintillys set cheers up as it was and created what wave her replacement Kirstie Alley was riding and they just picked up with that,but she did it well i will give her credit for that,but i guess people must have grown tired of dianes story,SINCE I REALLY REALLY HAVE TO SAY I THINK THEY PLAYED OUT THE ENTIRE SITUATION WITH SAM AND DIANE AS MUCH AS THEY COULD,but Diane was a very great love interest for sam and alot better and supieor i think next to rebbeca who was still pretty good at that,I think we the fans of Sam and Diane knew that there romance was playing out,but i agree somehow it could have been repaired,I guess the old premise was somewhat playing out,maybe i am wrong here,it was still a classic premise,but i think they needed a slightly differant situation to it,I STILL WOULD HAVE GIVEN ANYTHING SOMETIME IF IT HAD TURNED OUT THAT DIANE AND SAM WOULD HAVE GOTTEN MARRIED SOMETIME PREFERABLY DRUMROLL SHELLEY LONGS LAST SHOW,BUT EVEN EARILER WOULD HAVE BEEN GOOD FOR ME,but i also agree alot was missing from cheers,it was more than simpally dianes character herself,when shelley long left alot of the of some great qualites and aphonphere and some others that were there when she was at CHEERS SHOW some of that magic and friendliess and fun and something about the characters defintilly themselves was missing,alot of what i liked about it had left and for awhile i see they managed somehow luckily to get a portion of it back,but not all of it,and i don,t think somehow CHEERS EVER GOT IT ALL BACK AND LOST IT SOMEWHERE LATER ON,but i don,t want to bash all any of kirstie alley years i DO ENJOY THEM,BUT NOT ANYWHERE NEAR LIKE THE DIANE ONES DEFINTLLLY I DID LIKE THE DIANE ONES ALOT BETTER IN MY OPINON,but i THINK CHEERS WAS A GOOD SHOW THROUGH IT,S ENTIRE 11 YEAR RUN,IT,S STILL AND WILL CONTINUE DEFINITLLY TO BE AN GREAT AND AMAZING SHOW,I LOVE CHEERS ALOT.while these are just some points on how i see,just my ideas,thanks LOL CHEERS!
