Reception
This season landed in fourth place with an average rating of 22.5 and 35 shares as of April 20, 1989. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette describes the character of Rebecca Howe as "annoying", and expressed the delight of rumors that Joan Severance (originally set to play Susan Howe, a role eventually portrayed by Marcia Cross) could replace Kirstie Alley, arguing that Shelley Long's departure in the fifth season still affected the series. Another syndicate columnist, Joe Stein, found the sixth and seventh season "pretty good", and found Rebecca not "interesting" as Diane's predecessor. In contrast, Herb Caen of the San Francisco Chronicle praised the season, including the ensemble of players and their performances, but still missed the characters that Coach and Diane left behind.
Todd Fuller of Sitcoms Online calls this season "strong". David Johnson of DVD Verdict rated 90 percent of the story and acted 95 percent, praising his episodic approach and departure from story arcs, such as Sam and Diane's relationship or Rebecca's failed attempt to win Evan Drake last season. He praised Alley as "a solid comic force" for "exaggerated neurotic depictions". Jeffrey Robinson from DVD Talk gave this season three and a half stars out of five and rated four replays, calling it "good" and the episode "fun and funny". Current Movies calls this season a "strong roll" with "good looks".
The Woody Boyd scenes singing "Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly..." (also called "The Kelly Song") at Kelly Gaines' birthday party from the episode "The Gift of the Woodi" has been discussed in the media. Andy Greene from Rolling Stone magazine called it an impressive fan of Cheers . Greene also mentioned that the song was later performed by The Roots on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon when Kelly Ripa entered the set as guest of Fallon. David Hofstede, in his book 5000 Episodes and No Commercials , calls this scene the "big moment" of this series.
