Cheers - Complete List of Cuts and Music Replacements - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TMC · 04-27-2020, 04:56 AM

This is d list of all known edits to Cheers on the Region 1 (North American) DVD releases. This does NOT cover edits to streaming episodes, as there have been reports that there are different edits to them.

Season 4, Episode 20 - Save the Last Dance For Me - Last few seconds of "Da Doo Ron Ron" replaced with generic music.
Season 6, Episode 22 - Slumber Party Massacred - Roy Orbison's "Only the Lonely" replaced with generic music.
Season 7, Episode 12 - Please Mr. Postman - “Unchained Melody” used instead of “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling.” Syndicated versions have this difference too. “You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling” was mentioned by name in the episode, so the change is quite noticeable. One person on HTF reported that they checked their recording of the original broadcast and it does include the correct song, so the change was made after the original airing.
Season 9, Episode 5 - Ma Always Liked You Best - One scene is cut short to remove Carla singing the theme from Winnie the Pooh. This has reportedly been restored in streaming episodes.
Season 9, Episode 6 - Grease - “I Fought the Law” replaced with generic music (multiple instances). The music being played is part of the gag, so this is especially unfortunate.
Season 10, Episode 2 - Get Your Kicks On Route 666 - An establishing shot and the first few seconds of a scene was cut to remove the gang singing along to Dion's “The Wanderer.” This has reportedly been restored in streaming episodes.
Season 10, Episode 4 - The Norm Who Came in from the Cold - While Frasier and Lilith are in bed, the rest of the Cheers gang can be heard singing. The part with them singing "Those Were the Days" is replaced (with, I think, a repeat of the previous song they were singing. A few seconds are then cut that contained direct video of them singing "Those Were the Days."
Season 10, Episode 7 - Bar Wars V: The Final Judgement - Monster Mash replaced with “Vampire Twist.”
Season 10, Episode 23 - Bar Wars VI: This Time It's for Real - There are a few second of the gang joyfully walking into Cheers and sort of grunting some notes. Their grunts have been muted. This has reportedly been restored in streaming episodes.
Season 10, Episode 26 - An Old-Fashioned Wedding, Part 2 - Lilith sings “Make 'em laugh” as she leaves the kitchen. This was muted. This has reportedly been restored in streaming episodes.
Season 11, Episode 26 - One for the Road - Various cuts due to CBS apparently using the three-part cut version and then editing them back together without adding back the cut footage. Runs about 3 minutes short. This is the only episode with cuts that are not music related.

If you are aware of any additional edits to the DVD releases, please add them here.
