"Diane and Rebecca" vandalism

Users using IP addresses have been changing Diane and Rebecca lately. These edits have been going on for years. It's getting maddening. I tried addressing the issue of one person doing such edits, but the discussion went stale. If protection is unnecessary, what else to do with those edits? Pinging TheDJ and CLCStudent, to whom I thank for combating vandalism. --George Ho (talk) 21:26, 20 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Paul Willson and Roger Rees in the infobox

Why adding Paul Willson and Roger Rees in the infobox? They were recurring actors of the series. Also, the opening credits don't use those names. --George Ho (talk) 03:12, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously they should not be included. Only actors who have been credited onscreen in a starring role should be included per WP:TVCAST, infobox instructions and wide consensus. I have removed the names and added a note to that effect. --AussieLegend (✉) 16:37, 19 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) They should not be in the infobox – the infobox cast listing is reserved for "main cast credited" cast members only (and sometimes not even all of those, for TV series with particularly large casts). --IJBall (contribs • talk) 16:38, 19 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The "missing episode" - "Uncle Sam Malone"

I am not a qualified editor so I'll just plant this idea for someone else to implement and give enough details to verify/research it. There was an additional episode, slightly abbreviated (12 run minutes), described at http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1104864/?ref_=ttep_ep1

It has the identical look and feel to the other show episodes; you can see that for yourself at https://www.metv.com/stories/watch-a-long-lost-cheers-episode-made-for-the-us-government-to-sell-bonds (a freely playable video using no plug-ins or executable downloads).

I gather that it did not run on the network, so wiki might stay with the episode count of 275 (but imdb includes it in their episode count). However it might merit mentioning here, and as a footnote on the wiki episode list page.76.185.10.9 (talk) 16:04, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
