Let's face it: you probably couldn't get this without
Damages!
Ted Danson's a hot name on television once more thanks to his wonderfully wicked turn opposite Glenn Close in
FX's legal drama, Damages. Since he's back in the limelight, CBS/Paramount has announced long-awaited DVD releases for
Becker - The 1st Season, and also this morning for
Cheers - Season 9!
The eighth season - which famously ends with Sam Malone (Danson) finally getting ownership of the bar back from the corporation he sold it to when Diane (Shelley Long) left - came out on DVD way back in June 2006. For a year and a half (and while spin-off series
Frasier was completed on home video) fans of
Cheers have desperately awaited some word of the last three season set releases: seasons 9, 10 and 11.
This morning CBS DVD and Paramount Home Entertainment revealed that
Cheers - Season 9 will make it to DVD on
April 29th with 25 half-hour episodes. Guest stars include Boston Celtic Kevin McHale, Arsenio Hall, Frances Sterghagen (returning as Cliff's mother), Bobby Hatfield of The Righteous Brothers, former 3-time Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis, and former "Agent 99" (of
Get Smart) Barbara Feldon. Stay tuned for package art and further details about this release, just as soon as we can get it!
