[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 439189, member: 7"] Apparently, the cast warmly welcomed Kirstie Alley to the cast at the start of Season 6. After the whirlwind that was the off-camera relationship with Shelley Long, Kirstie was a much-needed breath of fresh air for the seasoned cast. I've heard Ted Danson brag on how Kirstie came in and instantly got into the groove of things and helped make the set fun. On the other hand, the audience didn't instantly take to Kirstie as Rebecca. I suppose she was too stiff, too straitlaced, and the writers themselves didn't find the character funny. They decided to retool Rebecca a little, and I think it worked out for the most part. CHEERS is always one of those shows that'll be in two camps: the Diane Years and the Rebecca Years. While I'm just a casual fan of the show, I can say that I like both. The Diane Years are preoccupied with the Sam and Diane love-hate will-they-won't-they romance, while the Rebecca Years make the show more of an ensemble with room for everyone to have their own time to shine. Which era you prefer will come down to a matter of personal preference. [/QUOTE]
