One for the Road

Rebecca was so much funnier than Diane, and an overall more interesting character. Kirstie stole the show in the final episode compared to Shelley.

I would have rather seen Sam end up with Rebecca, just because they were such good friends and didn't have the obvious "opposites attract" cliché going on.

The Rebecca years were superior in every way: better character development, more stories, and a Cheers beyond just Sam and Diane. In fact, that silent, dead-face reaction the bar gave Sam when he announced they were back together was the same one everyone watching expressed.

I'm sorry, but Woody was better than Coach.

The last season drug on a little bit, but the final episode (3 parts) was of excellent quality. Paul was also a gem in the last season.

The way they ended it was perfect though: the core cast lives on doing what we always want to remember them doing. Not a bunch of goodbyes.

I've watched Cheers from beginning to end more than once and this finale still gets me. This was a comedy done so well and the audience gets to know all the characters, making it a bittersweet ending. Hard to believe Frasier debuted so shortly after.

After 11 years .....the stakes were high in making a final episode worthy of all the consistent fun during one of TV's golden era....NBC's great Thursday nights...

This episode was funny, didn't shy away from anything, brought everyone together, didn't forget its past...I love how all the bar regulars were included.... the nods to how things have changed over the 11 years...and wrapped everything up in a nice bow...Even being a 3 episode arc it didn't seem too long.. THe laughs kept going to the very last scene...A great good-bye....

Now up...Frasier

This remains one of the best episodes of 90s television. The episode was a fitting end to the long-running, beloved show, encapsulating everything that made Cheers so great - witty writing, heartfelt moments, and unforgettable characters.

In "One for the Road," the regulars of Cheers gather together for one last hurrah before the bar closes its doors for good (for the viewers anyway). The episode is full of hilarious one-liners and classic moments, as the characters reminisce about their time at the bar and say their goodbyes. Most impressive, is how true they were to the characters of Ted and Diane.

The writing, acting, and direction of the episode are all top-notch. The cast, which included the likes of Ted Danson, Shelley Long, and Kelsey Grammer, are all at the top of their game, delivering memorable performances that make viewers laugh and tug at their heartstrings.

Ultimately, "One for the Road" is a tribute to one of the greatest sitcoms of all time, a show that has become a cultural touchstone in its own right. It's a fitting end to a beloved series, reminding us all of the importance of friendship, community, and the power of a good laugh.

In short, I cannot recommend "One for the Road" highly enough. It's a must-watch for fans of 90s television and a shining example of what TV can achieve when it combines great writing, great acting, and great heart. Cheers to Cheers!

I have to admit that I never saw these final three episodes when the show was on for the first time. This is a three parter that brings back Diane Chambers and a host of complications that need to be resolved. Old romances and new ones. Woody takes the helm as a city councilman. Carla has a near heart attack when she sees Diane, who has won an Emmy award. There is a great scene at Melvilles as Diane and Sam try to pretend they are married. But there are thing that don't change and it's that connection and that love that come to the fore.
