Reply to comment by thewidowgorey in Why did Shelley Long leave CHEERS and would the show have lasted had she stayed? by GLSCinephile

Kirstie Alley, as nutty as she is, is actually a solid comedienne. Shelley Long can be funny (see: The Brady Bunch movie) but I think Kirstie was in general a better comedian.

Diane was often the "straight man" though, while Rebecca was played for laughs from the start.
