- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ก.ย. 2022
- Shelley Long left Cheers due to a desire to pursue a film career.
Long had received critical acclaim for her role as Diane Chambers on the show and wanted to take on new challenges.
Her departure was also partially due to personal reasons, including a divorce and a desire to spend more time with her family.
Long has continued to act in film and television, including a recurring role on Modern Family.

Cheers was never the same once Shelley Long left. The cast was great, and I enjoyed all 11 seasons of the show. Having said that, the Diane Chambers years were the best.
When you keep calling Cheers a movie when it was a TV show you lose a lot of credibility in your research.
💯👍
Over manipulated: An attempt to force an unnatural plot or conclusion. It's a step or two before "Jumping the shark". Once you leave the natural developments of plot an characters it pretty much steers you to Jumping the shark. Cheers avoided that with some very hard work and the ingenious development of Kirstie's character. Rebecca hit a home run by making her sophisticated on the outside but a total train wreck emotionally. The writers essentially had twice the amount of character to work with and Kirstie played right into the part. That said, I enjoyed Diane's character more because Shelley delivered her lines perfectly. She was a comedic timing princess.
The #1 worst career decision in Hollywood history. Close runner up- David Caruso NYPD Blue. She wanted to be a movie star so bad -
In my opinion Shelley Long leaving “Cheers” was exactly what the show needed. The Sam and Diane storyline was played out. Her leaving allowed the show to go in fresh directions. There was more focus on storylines for the other characters. Kirstie Alley’s role as Rebecca Howe developed into very funny and interesting character. I believe that if Shelley Long had stayed with the show it wouldn’t have lasted much longer let alone another six years.
It's called a contract . She signed on to do five seasons. Jaclyn Smith did the same thing when she did Charlie's Angels.
Diane was a funny character but Sam, Carla, Norm and Cliff were excellent as well.
Don't forget coach 💪 or frasier great characters all over ❤
EXCELLENT actress
They were good together
She left for a 6 movie disney deal but when the money pit failed and bevlery Hills troops also flopped disney cut her contract. Remember cheers flopped in season 1 it was bottom of the TV charts it wasn't till midway through season 2 it became popular
The money Pitt was a classic, lol
"Remember cheers flopped in season 1 it was bottom of the TV charts it wasn't till midway through season 2 it became popular"
No, it became popular immediately after season 1 when they were showing reruns over the summer. All the people who had watched the first-run episodes of Simon & Simon instead of Cheers looked for something different to watch when Simon & Simon went into reruns, and they found the Cheers reruns that they hadn't watched the first time around (there were only 3 TV networks at the time, so it wasn't hard to find Cheers). Plus, Cheers was nominated for 13 Emmy awards (winning 5) for its first season, and that brought it attention too.
Apparently, Long was looking to transition to become a movie star, and she thought that her widespread popularity in the TV landscape was enough to propel her onto the big screen. It's worth noting that at that point, this wasn't an exactly new practice: both Michael Douglas and Tom Hanks left their budding career in television to try their hand with films: a massive gamble which obviously paid off.
Immediately, it seemed to be a great career move for the actress. Fresh from her exit in "Cheers", Long already had a hit in 1987 in "Outrageous Fortune", but it wasn't exactly a smooth ride from there, as her movie career never really took off the way Douglas's and Hanks's did. Aside from her aspirations to be a movie star, Long's decision to leave Cheers was bolstered by having constant conflicts behind-the-scenes with her co-stars, particularly Danson and Kelsey Grammer, who played Frasier Crane.
It's an open secret in Hollywood that, just like her character, Diane, the actress didn't really fit with Cheers' ensemble cast, which famously got along quite well. After abruptly being offered the opportunity to finish her novels in the season 5 finale titled "I Do, Adieu," she chose to pursue her dreams of becoming a published author and only postponing her supposed wedding to Sam.
While she promised that she'd be back, both Sam and the viewers knew that she wouldn't. As for the show itself, her departure didn't affect its popularity at all, with some arguing that its best years were after Diane left.
Whoever made this didnt do their homework- sam didn't work there, he owned cheers, lol
And it's not A MOVIE
Music is a misfit for subject, it’s annoying and distracting
Cheers was a TELEVISION SHOW... NOT A "MOVIE"!!
irreconciled differences was 1984, it didn't sell well
The dialogue during the Shelley Long years was clever and sharp. She was the anchor of the show. After that Sam turned into a sexpot. I grew disinterested in the show
The show would have 2 change. No one wants will they, won't they for too long. It was a good episode but it seemed like Sam forced her to leave.
She probably left because she was verbally abused by Carla every day...
I think Sam and Diane should have been together.
Oh and Kirstie Alley was NOT a consolation prize- she was a better actress and had a more successful career. None of those movies you mentioned were major hits in the US
Glad she left Kirstie Ally was way funnier
Kristy was much better 2:52
