Diane Chambers or Rebecca Howe

[Freakzilla]

Which character did you like better? Personally, I liked Rebecca better than Diane. Rebecca didn't flaunt her superior intellect like Diane did. Plus, instead of acting like Sam's boss, she was Sam's boss.

I always liked Diane better, but Rebecca (Kirstie Alley) was a great replacement when Shelley Long decided to leave the series.

Rebecca was much more of a human personality than Diane.Her wants,hopes and dreams were believable.Her relationship with Sam was a lot more two-way than Diane's,and she and Sam would occasionaly help one another.Diane was good,but in the long run she didn't seem to fit in the series as well.

Howe was as dreamy, flakey as Chambers. Howe bought a, I believe, BMW when she could not afford the car. Also she was living off an income from her father. Diane might have been intellectually out of touch, however Rebecca was economically. Which is worse, eh?

I've got to vote for Rebecca. The character seemed much more believable and grew much more than Diane.

Although ... one of my favorite all-time scenes was the episode in which Carla was working at Mr. Pibb's. At the end of the episode, she quit when they hired a Diane clone. Wonderful stuff.

I liked Rebecca much better. Diane had too much of a 'holier than thou' attitude.

Although, I think Shelley Long was the better actress of the two (on Cheers at least)

I LIKE REBECCA BETTER BECAUSE SHE WAS FUNNIER CHEERS IS ONE OF THE FEW SITCOMS IN THE HISTORY OF TELEVISION THAT GOT BETTER WITH AGE.I THOUGHT WOODY WAS FUNNIER THAN COACH.I THOUGHT THAT CLIFF GOT FUNNIER AND FUNNIER AS THE SHOW PROGRESSED.

I vote for Diane.

Shelly Long beats out Kirstie Ally all the way.

Personally, I found both of them annoying, but if I had to choose, I'd say Rebecca. Diane was such a holier-than-thou snob!

Yes, Rebecca was more believable, but that was diane's charm. Remember "Diamond Sam" or "Chambers v. Malone" even the episodes with the artist Semenko, it was that "hot/cold" "ice/fire" that got us going. Trying to understand how Sam could spend near 10k to avoid the intital 5200 for diane's ring, that kept us intrigued. Rebecca became a part of the cast, like family. But Diane, she was always the outsider, she knew and went with it.

I think Diane rocked!She was the best!

[danithang]

I liked Rebecca a lot better. I guess it is because I watched the episodes with Rebecca first, and don't even really pay attention to the Diane episodes. I liked Rebecca and Sam together better than Diane and Sam.

I havent seen the show that much, but i think i liked each of them in their own ways

Rebecca was my favorite of the two. She was more "human" than Diane, who had to always be smarter, classier and more sophisticated than everybody else. I never could understand what Sam saw in her......
