Cheers Reunion on Frasier! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Dr. Lilith Sternin · 03-22-2002, 01:03 AM

I'm am SO excited!!!

So, does anyone know exactly WHO will be at the bar when Frasier goes to visit? I know Carla is definitely going to be there, because Rhea Perlman was in the preview. Normie and Cliffie will be there too, right? I'd assume Sam would be there! I doubt Diane will... if Lilith is not in that episode, I'll be pissed. LOL I mean, Frasier can't very well visit beantown without seeing his ex-wife and son, right?!

Anybody know more on this topic?

Sam will not be a part of the reunion. He has committments to Becker. I believe that Bebe is working on Broadway, so I doubt that she'd be available either. the only people that would be readily available are guys like Rhea Perlman, George Wendt, John Ratzenberger, Woody Harrelson and Kirsty Alley. Not Bad!

It will be April 30th, with Rhea Perlman, George Wendt, and John Ratzenberger.

Dr. Lilith Sternin · 03-22-2002, 11:34 PM

Bebe's not doing any show on Broadway as of right now. All she's been doing since Everett Beekin closed is benefits. She could have so went out and did that episode! UGH.

Same with Ted... he's already in CA. He could have done ONE episode. *sigh* It's not going to be a REAL Cheers reunion without Ted, Shelley, or Bebe, but... I digress.

Frasier W. Crane · 03-23-2002, 12:01 AM

Sorry, but it is true. The only people in the Cheers reunion thing are Cliff, Carla, and Norm. Plus, the regulars of Paul and Phil. Hey, but its cool! I haven't seen Rhea Perlman on TV in a while. George Wendt was on Becker a couple of weeks ago, John Ratzenberger was on The Drew Carey Show in September and Paul Willson was on Malcolm in the Middle 2 weeks ago! I'm glad Frasier is going back because this year marks the 20th anniversery that Cheers came on!!

Most of the characters who aren't in this episode have already had entire episodes dedicated to them. (such as "The one where {*****} shows up")

***** insert character name here: Woody, Diane, Sam.

Dr. Lilith Sternin · 03-24-2002, 09:49 PM

Yes, but its not a TRUE Cheers reunion if most of them aren't there.

Oh, well... I suppose I'll survive! I still don't get why they couldn't have had Bebe on the episode! Ugh.

Janice · 03-24-2002, 10:54 PM

It won't be a true reunion without Ted, Shelley, and Bebe. Sam and Diane were the main stars of the show for 5 years, and as stated earlier, Frasier has to see Lilith and Frederick.
I wonder why they're REALLY not participating? I'd think Ted and Bebe could've worked it into their schedules, and Shelley doesn't seem too busy these days.
I guess everyone has their stories and reasons for not taking part in the reunion.

Frasier W. Crane · 03-25-2002, 01:37 AM

Shelley is working on "Brady Bunch In The White House" its a tv movie aring on fox in may. So that probably why.........plus, she had a grudge with the cast and crew of cheers

peter may · 03-25-2002, 09:19 AM

Why should Shelley be there. She left Cheers years ago. If anyone should be there it's Rebecca, (Kirstie Alley), now that Veronica's Closet has been canned.

Plus shes better than Diane anyway.

Why so? We were discussin' the relationship of Shelley and the rest of the cast when she left under the thread "Shelley vs. The Cast" at the "Cheers" board. From readin' the posts over there I haven't heard of Shelley still havin' a grudge with anyone...interesting...

I'm all ears if you've got more to say!

Shelley should be there because she's an integral part of the show's history. Sam and Diane--everyone knows who you're talking about if you just say those two words. That couple made TV history.
Liking Kirstie more than Shelley is just a matter of opinion, and shouldn't determine whether Shelley is included in a reunion show.
Suppose Nicholas Colasanto didn't die and left the show for personal reasons--I think he'd have a place in the reunion.
As for Shelley holding grudges with cast and crew or vice versa, I don't buy it. She returned at the show's end and did a guest spot on Frasier. If there ever was a hatchet, I think it's long been buried.
Shelley Long has earned her place in any Cheer's reunions.

Frasier W. Crane · 03-25-2002, 03:45 PM

If you have cable, and you watch "E!" They had a true hollywood story on 'Cheers' And they said that Shelley only had a great relationship with Nick Colasanto, who passed away. They also stated that the other cast members were quick to dress and to the set in time, when Shelley was taking her time looking perfect and she was late. I really don't have anything against Shelley, but I think that if she would have been more 'Not Perfect' things would have worked out. Anyone want to follow on this?

Janice · 03-25-2002, 03:57 PM

I've seen the E! True Hollywood Story on Cheers. I think Shelley is a perfectionist. In her defense though, it does take women longer to dress than men. Aside from Carla, whose appearance was downplayed, it was an all male cast.
I do believe there was friction between Shelley and most of the cast, but it's dissipated over the years. It was light years ago, and should have no bearing on her being included in any Cheer's reunions.

Brian Damage · 03-25-2002, 09:57 PM

Let's try to be realistic here. Is this REALLY a Cheers reunion or is it just another Frasier episode? This is in some ways a reunion, however,this is still the Frasier show not Cheers. And realisticly, Diane Chambers is no longer living in Boston. So what reason would she have for being there? Sam you can understand why he won't be there. I don't get Kirstie Alley not doing it or Bebe Neuwirth. (Especially if Frasier is there to see Frederick) If NBC decided to do a reunion movie then there is no excuse not to include everyone. This is just a Frasier episode.
