21) "The Visiting Lecher"—A colleague of Frasier's is in town, and the authority on marital infidelity proves it by making a pass at Rebecca.
Video: For the most part, the quality is decent—slightly grainy and with colors that lack the intensity you'd see in big-budget feature films. But that doesn't detract from the episodes. Unfortunately, and inexplicably, episode four stands out because certain camera angle shots in this multi-camera show are suddenly dark, murky, and grainier—which is highly noticeable because the occasional dark shots pop up in the middle of an episode that otherwise is the same quality as the others. That's too bad, but it's the one major flaw in the transfer.
Audio: The audio is a Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono, and aside from a very slight hiss the quality is fairly good.
Extras: Sorry, there are no extras.
Bottom Line: "Cheers" may not make a Top-10 TV Comedy list, but it sure would show up on a Top-30 list. And Season Seven is one of the top four seasons from the show's 11-year run.
