Ok i don't know if it was just me but the E! true hollywood story seem to make everyone look like drug addicts, alcoholics, bad tempered and they completely trashed shelley long. I really did not like it. They even tried to make George Wendt look bad. Seriously they saw cheers and tried to find every single fault or imperfection and multiply it then air it. They also did not issue credit where deserved at least thats what i thought... am I the only person who feels this way?

I definitely agree--I've seen two other similar specials on Cheers (TVography and Inside Television's Greatest) and neither one of them portray the cast as being that crazy. I also thought it was random that their only sources from the cast/crew were Bebe (reliable, but she didn't talk about the other cast members) and the costumer (we have to wonder how much she really knew). Anyway, yeah, I share your opinion. Hopefully the TVland special on the 30th will be better.

Im glad i am not the only one who feels this way!
I can't wait until the one they are airing on sunday, i hoping it will be good. I am sooo mad @ nick at nite! they first started showing the episodes out of order! then for like 2 weeks they showed cheers @1 am (eastern) because of their obsession with cosby. Yesterday they finally started showing at it's regular time and they will until sunday when the "Wing" marathon starts. i am pissed i cause i can't stay up till 1 am to watch cheers cause i have to wake up the next day @ 5 am for school.
