Shelley Long Unrecognizable After Skipping ‘Cheers’ Reunion 2024
Ойын-сауық
She was the light of Sam’s light, a sweet dose of reason and dismay at the bar. But Diane Chambers gelled with the staff and patrons of Cheers very differently than Shelley Long got along with the cast… or, didn’t. Did she leave Cheers with bad blood? Was that why she wasn’t at the much-anticipated Cheers reunion at the Emmys?

Those WERE more challenging programs. Ms. Alley’s time was spent on “I Love Lucy” types of works. “She’s so whacky”, repetitive, difficult to experience, real nonsense. It became a parody of itself (“SNL”, anyone?). Still, either way, I’d prefer those “Cheers” shows to almost all of the crap being offered nowadays. Ah well. “C’est la vie”. 🤔😐

I just binge watched it and the dynamic with her and Sam was great. But I have to say the writing was good for the later years also.
Gee what a shock! We all get old and our appearance changes. Who'd have thought?
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.
Kirstie was outrageously hilarious & beautiful.
I keep thinking that Shelley Long is still somewhere, looking the same and not a day older than when she appeared in Cheers.

We age. It happens. I always liked that Bettie Page (the “Pin-Up Queen”) stopped, moved on to (some good, some tragic) other things, & wouldn’t stand to be photographed again. She wanted to be remembered as the beauty of her professional career prime. Then again, we didn’t have the social media outlets & big dollar offers from corporations that we now do. Hmm. 🤔 Whatever, I find hers to be a romantic (in some ways) show of dignity. An inspiration, actually. Either way, people age. Ah, well. 😊
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.
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!!

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

Team Shelley Long!
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.
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.
Loved her in caveman watch it regularly my kids love it to
1. NIght Shift 2. The Money Pit 3. Troop Beverly Hills
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.
Shelley was brilliant on Cheers and she is still a beautiful woman.
Troop Beverly Hills ❤😂
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.
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.
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!
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
almost 10 minutes before getting to the point. i could have googled this. you lost one.
She also was on Modern Family and my favorite movie she did was The money pit.
When she had him in court was super funny
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.
I THINK SHE IS WONDERFUL 😊
You forgot to tell people she starred in Caveman with Ringo Starr.😮😮😮😮😮😮
I never really cared for Kirstie Alley on Cheers. Shelley Long stole that position by doing Dianne so well.

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!

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!

The “Rebecca” character WAS annoying. ‘Course, “Cheers” had become like a bad habit by the time she was introduced (smoking, (ironically) drinking, etc.). We watched ‘cuz that’s just what we did on Thursdays. The writers started to get lazy & the show was so stale by then (“why try when it’s SO profitable“). “Rebecca” was a great idea, just poorly executed y the writers. Not that Kirstie was to blame, her “whacky” adventures were just so hackneyed. “Rebecca” was annoying, not Kirstie. Too bad, really. Kirstie was a great comedic actress. She could’ve “knocked it outta’ the park!, if given a fair chance. 😐
She was funny
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.
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.
Daaaayamn!!! Shelly short AF!!
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.
she'll all ways be recognizable to me .
Men age like fine wine...on the other hand...
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?
Shelly Long character Diane was WAY better that Kirstie Allie and Rebecca
It ran its course..I agreed if she stayed the show would had ended sooner.
The seeming AI voice is UNBEARABLE.
So she looks a lot older than she did 40 years ago ? Imagine that huh 😂.

Kirstie (through no fault of her own) was a cartoon. The writing on “Cheers” started to be more plebeian than original after the “Coach” & “Diane” characters were gone. “Woody” and “Rebecca” were like any other “whacky” characters from any other sitcom in the history of television (all the way back to “that “whacky” Ed on “The Honeymooners” - in the 50s!). “Cheers” became like a bad habit. We watched it ‘cuz that’s just what we did on Thursdays. It was really bad In its dying days. 😐
She always reminded me of Marcy from Married with children. Just with slightly longer hair 😂.
Dang wtf happened to shelly long!!!
Shelley Long was fabulous in Cheers and elevated Ted Danson's character from a "hound" to a conflicted man in love. Kirsty Alley's character was as superficial as Danson's and together their scenes were predictable and boring. The show without Shelley was flat.
what...no caveman mention? wtf, man!
