The first seasons of the 2nd phase of CHEERS was more focused on Sam and Rebecca. Those early seasons of Kirstie Alley was about Sam trying to woo Rebecca while she was chasing after rich men for money. When that didn’t work out, Ted Danson and Alley didn’t have that chemistry though they worked fine as separate entities, then the show became an ensemble. I mean, Alley got less and less to do as the series went on.
