Movie Reviews of Cheers: The Complete Ninth Season
Movie Review: A needed addition to the Cheers' series DVDs
Summary: 5 Stars
It's been awhile since Paramount released season eight of Cheers, and I'd even heard that due to poor sales on previous seasons that Paramount would not be releasing any more seasons. Thus I was very happy to see season nine come up for preorder, since it really is essential. It's not that seasons ten and eleven are not essential, but you are really left hanging if you only have Cheers up through season eight. There are SPOILERS AHEAD, primarily from season eight.
At the conclusion of season eight, Rebecca's boyfriend, billionaire Robin Colcord, had been stealing information from the company for which Rebecca worked. Robin cleverly silenced Rebecca by promising to marry her. Sam, fearing Rebecca would wind up being implicated in Robin's criminal schemes, went to Rebecca's company and uncovered the plot himself. Robin responded by wiring his money to Switzerland and fleeing the country. The good news is that Sam was rewarded by the company by having his bar returned to his ownership. Likewise, Rebecca was fired, not because of Robin's insider trading but because "they never much cared for her work", to quote Woody. Rebecca turns to Sam for comfort which turns into a passionate encounter when a penitent Robin suddenly returns, seeking the love and forgiveness of Rebecca and finds...
Thus begins season nine.
Season nine deals with what exactly it is that Robin saw when season eight ended, how Robin deals with incarceration, how Sam and Rebecca deal with the new standing of their personal and professional relationship, and how Rebecca reacts to the idea of marrying a now bankrupt Robin when he is paroled at midseason. To top it all off, Sam is beginning to really enjoy babysitting Frasier and Lillith's son to the point of making a pest of himself. Sam decides that a child is something he would really like to have in his life, and with the prompting of Elvis' ghost decides on a likely candidate for a mother in the season finale.
Although still funny, the earlier seasons of Cheers haven't aged that well. However, season nine is recent enough (1990-1991) that it should still hold up. It's not necessary to have seen the first five seasons (1982-1987) to enjoy season nine, since "The Diane Chambers Years" are practically a different show from the last six seasons, but you should have seen seasons six through eight to appreciate what is going on in season nine.
