Shelley Long Unrecognizable After Skipping ‘Cheers’ Reunion 2024 

THOUGHTS ON THE FRASIER REBOOT?

We’re all allowed to get old.

We love you Shelley. I hope she is well and happy.

Loved Shelly Long in Night Shift and my personal favorite The Money Pit. Simply Awesome 🤘😎🤙

I preferred the first years of cheers with Diane, I loved her high pseudo intellectual snobbery that was going to teach every one at cheers how to suit her kind of person

Gee what a shock! We all get old and our appearance changes. Who'd have thought?

Kirstie was outrageously hilarious & beautiful.

She was the TV Commercial Spokeswoman for Home Makers Funiture. Here in the Chicagoland area back in the late 70's. When she started to get famous she cane back and did a couple more commercials for them. (It was very nice of her.) Also, Garry Coleman got his start in commercials for 1'st. Metropolitan Builders. Again, in the Chicagoland area in the late 70's. I remember them fairly well. They were always on TV. Especially, Saturday mornings and afternoons.

Her guest appearances on Fraiser were fantastic. I saw that show as a kid, even before i saw Cheers. And she still left an impression on me.

She was good in her part! Loved her.

I keep thinking that Shelley Long is still somewhere, looking the same and not a day older than when she appeared in Cheers.

She was terrific in The Money Pit

What a shame I can’t look exactly the same 50 yrs down the road, especially be expected to look as I did when I had makeup artists and hairdressers to attend to every moment & need, since I had a TV series and a very public persona. After all, as a well known TV star, surely the public must know I’m not a regular, real human being, subject to aging and various other mortal maladies. It’s not fair!!

Awesome. I loved cheers show

Always adored Shelley Long.

I was shocked when Shelly left "Cheers"!! But, as soon as Kirstie showed up & did her crying jag, I was like, "OMG!!! She is perfect!! I love her!!! We will miss Shelly, but not as much as I 1st thought!!" I loved the way Kirstie looked & sounded!!

That show was so much fun, and I'd forgotten how pretty she was.

This was great...always like her

Outrageous Fortune is hilarious. Shelley and Bette Midler were a great pair of talents.

Sam & Diane loving/fighting scenes were the peak of 80's comedy... and were never repeated.

Don't most of us look unrecognizable after aging over 40 years? Carrie Fisher quipped that she didn't know that fans expected her to look exactly the same decades after she appeared in the original "Star Wars" trilogy.

She’s living as she likes. Yes she was quite the beauty. But everyone should be able to get old as they like.

I am team Diane! Shelley's chemistry with Ted was evident to be real.

I loved cheers show🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰...................

I loved them both

This video had practically nothing to do with the title. I hate that. It was a great documentary of Shelly Long's tenure on Cheers, and it would have been fine if the title reflected that. I just hate being deceived.

Shelley Long's journey from Cheers to her diverse film career and TV roles is truly captivating.

Shelley Long is very special because she is one of the few female actresses who can bring humor, Marilyn Monroe is also on that list, imo.

People age. Some even age naturally.

So where's the fountain of youth you must have found???

Nostalgic Nick, your voice is so soothing!

Shelly is such a delightful beauty.

Cheers was one of my favorite shows! Never watched a lot of tv but never wanted to miss Cheers, always good for a laugh which on some days was much needed!

I loved Shelley in Irreconcilable Differences!❤

Are you nuts??? It's The Money Pit!!! Where have you been??? 😜😂 I can recite every single line from that movie!!!

"twelve years of Ballet Asshole" Shelley exclaimed in Outrageous Fortune, my favorite Shelly movie . Loved her and Sam.....GREAT TV.....CHEERS WAS BRILLIANT.....EVEN WITH REPLACEMENT KIRSTI......SHE WAS WONDERFUL TOO

Julia Duffy would have been great in the part. On Newhart she managed to be stuck up arrogant and out of touch but never abrasive.

I recently re-watched the entire Cheers series. The show was better when Shelly was on.

Team Shelley Long!

1. NIght Shift 2. The Money Pit 3. Troop Beverly Hills

Who are three people, who never been in my house? If you know, You Know...

Thanks👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Definitely preferred the Shelley Long years. As a comedian, she was extremely smart with impeccable timing. Her perfectionism paid off, it seems, in spite of people finding her difficult. Her performances were high quality. Never felt that way about Alley.

Loved her in caveman watch it regularly my kids love it to

Troop Beverly Hills ❤😂

We Like The Kirstie Alley Episodes Although We Miss Coach. She's Funny Every Now & Then But Not For Five Years Straight. Do You Narrate Another Channel? Thank You. (Like #260)

That was so long ago. A very classic show. Several classic shows really. I would prefer they leave those classics where they are. In the beautiful space in our minds. it is completely unfair to all the actors to bring them back as seniors and expect the same sparks they had when they were young, strong and stupid. And beautiful. All of these great people have been through so much over the decades, i am just glad that most are still alive and doing well.

Shelley was brilliant on Cheers and she is still a beautiful woman.

I remember Shelley when she was selling furniture in Chicago on local TV just before she got her break on Cheers. She was a fool to leave the show.

The "will they or won't they" plotline has been done in so many shows. I think Shelly Long and Kirstie Alley both had their strengths.

When she had him in court was super funny

The Money Pit was cute and is a favorite of mine, but Hello Again is my all time favorite.

I, think that the writers took it as far as it was to go with, Shelley, and they ended it with, Kirstie Alley, exactly where it should have ended. That was genius writing and production on their part.

Shelly was funny on money pit and I loved RIP Kristy Alley 😢

I THINK SHE IS WONDERFUL 😊

LOVE THE VIDEO. YOU FORGOT, DON'T TELL HER IT'S ME WITH STEVE GUTTONBERG. ONE OF MY FAVORITES. IT ALSO HAS ANOTHER NAME AS WELL. TROOP BEVERLY HILLS WAS THE BEST!

Kirstie Alley was great on Cheers: but Dianne was my favorite. Probably because “Diane &Sam” reminded me of me, and my girlfriend at the time.

Glad Shelley is ok.

She also was on Modern Family and my favorite movie she did was The money pit.

I look at Diane leaving Cheers the same way I look at Major Burns leaving M*A*S*H* after a number of seasons. Both actors figured out that their characters had nothing left to do, and it reinvigorated the shows they were on by almost "rebooting" the show half way through it's run. I thought she did a great job on playing Mrs. Carol Brady in the Brady Bunch movies in a hard role, as Florence Henderson brought that iconic character to life, and Shelley did a great job channeling her while also bringing a bit of herself into the role.

She's 74 years old !!!.Did you think the dew of youth lasts forever???

Lilith looks lime she aged 50 years

She sure was one beautiful Lady back in the day. I didn't watch Cheers until a lot later and I thought she was great. I also think it was time for her to go to get new girl in the show & new exciting storyline. I haven't seen the Frasier reboot. I did loved the show back in the day.

You forgot to tell people she starred in Caveman with Ringo Starr.😮😮😮😮😮😮

almost 10 minutes before getting to the point. i could have googled this. you lost one.

Where has all her beauty gone, Long time passing.

She was funny

Without a doubt...Kirstie Alley, she was funny, and not annoying..

Cheer was two shows: The Shelley Long version and then what I consider a reboot with Kirstie Alley. The two actresses were so different that it just wasn't the same show. Shelley and Ted shared a unique on-screen chemistry that was magical; Kirstie and Ted didn't have that (not their fault), so it took the show in different directions. I loved both shows, but if I HAD to choose, it'd be Cheers 1.0: Shelley and Ted. And without that Cheers, Cheers 2.0 never would've existed.

I like it. The difference between her and those still active in hollywood is called reality: those 'stars' have trainers, plastic surgeons, private chefs etc

Daaaayamn!!! Shelly short AF!!

she'll all ways be recognizable to me .

I like Smelly Long and Christy Alley. They played different women completely with Sam.

@6:05 Shelly Long looks like she married a clone of Norm McDonald, it's crazy how he even has the same sarcastic smirk too

Weren’t the same without Shelly Long

Men age like fine wine...on the other hand...

It ran its course..I agreed if she stayed the show would had ended sooner.

Reminds me of the rock group Van Halen, who did you like David or Sammy, my response Shelly and of course Sammy, Cheers was a better show when Shelly was on.

She was only able to get 1 role after her cheers stint, I believe it was the money pit...I may be wrong, but at the time the cheers series ended, it was a period of real tough competition, she was up against such stars like Julia Robert's, Michelle Phiher, Demi Moore, etc....Hollywood can be a cruel place & industry, the only ones able to sustain their careers were Ted Danson, Kelley Grammer, Bebe..Kelsey's girlfriend, rest of the crew was typecast, I believe one other had a role on startrack and did weight loss commercials. There is no guarantee of success, look at many child stars that do nothing after the role that made them famous! Many have died, sadly by suicide!

Why would you show a person getting a ring the right hand 6 minutes in

I never really cared for Kirstie Alley on Cheers. Shelley Long stole that position by doing Dianne so well.

Who the hell are you to judge someone who looks age-appropriate? I guess it doesn't matter, as long as you get the views.

These videos are great, although I would prefer an actual human commentator. Robot AI or whatever it is is pretty disconcerting. Do better! Hire an voice actor please! With this many followers, I'm certain you can invest. It would make the videos so much more authentic!

So she looks a lot older than she did 40 years ago ? Imagine that huh 😂.

The seeming AI voice is UNBEARABLE.

Shelly Long character Diane was WAY better that Kirstie Allie and Rebecca

Diane never saw Sam and Carla kiss. That's a lie. Also, another reason she left was because she didn't like Kelsey Grammar and wanted him fired.

Lillith?

Shelly Long never did anything for me. Cheers was much more fun with Kirstie Alley.

Shelly is definitely recognizable and looks great. She's just no longer in her 20s.

Shelly long is ok.... That was 40+ years ago... She was in her 30s when she did this .. she looks ok for her age.

If you post a video with a snarky headline, you should count on getting a fair share of snarky comments. You've clearly done some careful research. Why waste it just to try to get a few extra views?

Always love Shelley!

Don't forget the movie Troop Beverly Hills.

I preferred the Shelley Long years because the tension between the pseudo-intellectual and the working class was fun to watch. The hierarchies of academia and sports-so prevalent in Boston- clashed over and over in fun ways! Plus, Shelley is from my hometown, and it was fun to see someone so midwest try to hang with the Cheers gang. Could Diane really triumph in that environment? When she did well it was great, and when she was pommeled, it was great too. Rebecca was party girl and was never interesting to me. She was not a fish out of water at all in that place, so I didn't think the episodes were funny. I couldn't route for her, and she just seemed sad overall.

I didn’t like her character in cheers

She always reminded me of Marcy from Married with children. Just with slightly longer hair 😂.

I loved the earlier episodes of Cheers! but I never liked Kirstie Ally at all!

what...no caveman mention? wtf, man!

Dang wtf happened to shelly long!!!
