"Cheers" was originally edited on tape for the final show (although there
was some film editing done, of course), so it was a monumental task for
that show. AFAIK, "Seinfeld" was edited on film for the final, then
that was converted to videotape. So, all they needed to do for "Seinfeld"
was grab the final film edit and telecine at HD. "Cheers" required
*finding* the material to do the edits, and I heard they weren't 100%
successful, so the DVDs might be very slightly different from the first
run.
Like all Paramount series, I'm waiting until the entire show is available
before I buy (because the price is so much cheaper that way), so I can't
say.
