Rebecca was like Jefferson Darcy from Married with Children: Perfect replacements that managed to skilfully replace their predecessors and made their shows funnier. Kirstie deserved the awards she received.
Funny you said that, because Ed O’Neill was nearly cast as Sam Malone, and Shelley Long ended up playing his ex-wife on “Modern Family.” Also, regarding your comparison: *1.* “Cheers” and “Married With Children” both lasted 11 seasons. *2.* Rebecca Howe and Jefferson D’Arcy both surpassed their predecessors in the number of seasons/episodes they appeared in. *3.* Diane Chambers and Steve Rhoades were pretentious snobs. Rebecca Howe and Jefferson D’Arcy were gold diggers.
R.I.P. Kirstie Alley (1951-2022)🕊 You were an amazing Actress and your legacy will live on in many years to come. Cheers is one of my favourite shows so the passing of Kirstie really broke my heart💔 I send my deepest condolences to the Alley family as well as Kirstie’s friends and loved ones during this very difficult time.
Haven't watched Cheers in a long time. What immediately strikes me about Kirstie Alley now is how much she reminds me of Lauren Bacall. Her droll delivery, their facial features and even their voices bear a remarkable similarity. Funny how I had never seen that before. Rest in peace Kirstie, and thanks for helping brighten our lives a little bit with your remarkable talent.
Had to come back and rewatch after hearing the news. :( She gave me a lot of laughs but, Rebecca was always my favorite Kirstie character. So so funny. RIP.
If Shelly stayed on cheers, it probably would have been over in a few years. Kirstie was a breath of fresh air and the show had new life. RIP our dear Miss Howe
The less said about her later years, the better. Kirstie Alley on "Cheers" was exceptionally funny. She could play the straight man one minute, and suddenly be a ball of hysterically crying jelly the next. RIP
Kirstie was a great actress, she always made me laugh, everything seemed to come so naturally to her! which made it that much funnier! RIP Kirstie you were great! You will be truly missed.
Aww she will be so remembered and missed I Had a chance to see him in a restaurant in Philly but not her She played a great character in all her movies I saw her in,and surely created a legacy for her self and family now she served her purpose and with the great father and she truly with the celebrity stars and will be missed on this planet of earth and nw she's in the heaven ❤, continually yo watch over us ,Cheers to you beautiful 😍 you love on
I love this show. Shelly Long was amazing as Diane Chambers but somehow I love Rebecca a tad more. The whole cast was amazing. Woody, Norm, Cliff, Carla, Sam etc
@@TheSully00714 Wouldn't say unique since there are quite a few people who prefer Rebecca to Diane. Kirstie also received an Emmy and People's Choice for this role so I'd say she definitely was pretty well liked by most fans of the show, or at least a good portion of it.
@@kendallrivers1119 Agreed! i loved how they added more of them in the later episodes. they are both my favorite characters on the show. i only watched Cheers because of Fraiser and how he would bad mouth his wife and I was curious what their marriage was like.
