Title: Shelley vs Kirstie: who wins?
Post by: Tuckers Law on February 18, 2020, 03:02:12 PM
I’m talking Cheers in-their-prime hottie, badass takes-no-shit babes Shelley Long and Kirstie Alley.

I’ll also accept as dark-horse candidates Frazier’s wife or Woody.

She’s definitely a contender in the “takes-no-shit” category.

Diane seems boring but Rebecca was kinda crazy in the not fun way so I think the only answer is Lilith.

The real answer is Daphne :lawd

The show even outright says Lilith is the best in bed. As much as a sitcom can say that in the 1980's.

Diane was the more fleshed character with the more interesting and different dynamic than Rebecca but the early years of that characters were pretty fun. By the end the character was all over the place though.

Rhea Perlman

Diane and Carla are horrible characters. They're antagonistic all the damn time for no reason at all and should've each been fired on fifty separate occasions before the start of season three.

At least Diane is well-read and has a good vocabulary? Did she go to grad school just so she could be a pedantic know-it-all in a working-class pub? No one is impressed.

Thanks. Didn't know that.

Something can be done for the purpose of a joke and make a character incredibly unlikable.

Well yeah, but it's kind of perfect and comes off as very believable. I like to think Diane started off as a writer directly including an ex in the script.

Rebecca was always way more of a traditional sitcom character IMO.

Yes, I mean the character works.

I think my mistake was binge-watching the first three seasons. I started auto-groaning every time she was on screen.

'Jenny Craig Cheers Reunion' Kirsty Alley for the gold prize.
'Original Cheers' Kirsty Alley gets a silver.
Shelley gets a bronze by default, but really doesn't deserve it.
