It's likely that a few of them do. According to a list recently posted here a few weeks back, four episodes with minor cuts on DVD have been reported to have been restored for streaming.

Yes, there are some parts restored for the streaming/digital versions. However, I've read in other threads that some content has also been cut that was on the DVDs. I can't confirm that part myself, but I can confirm what was missing on the DVDs and got put back:

Cheers - Complete List of Cuts and Music Replacements

It seems like every time there is a thread about Cheers, the topic of music replacements comes up. Rather than putting this in an existing thread, I thought this topic deserved its own thread given how many times this has come up over the years. Searching through the various threads here and...

It's ridiculous how they can't get it completely right in terms of completion. Would you like it if a bartender drank a sip of your glass of beer before serving it to you? That's why I hold out hope that a Blu-ray will restore the mutually exclusive footage and bring it back to the night-of-broadcast versions.

If I had to guess, I'd bet that a Blu-ray release would be the best version yet. The music rights licensed for the DVDs would very likely apply to other physical home media as well, and I'd bet that the licenses they've acquired since for streaming would cover physical releases too. But for the music that they've never licensed beyond the original airing rights, I'd be very surprised if they were restored. But that's assuming that they ever get around to a Blu-ray release.

(I'm also pessimistic that they'd restored the missing footage from the finale. There's no licensing cost, but they'd have to locate and remaster the original film, which doesn't seem likely.)

Needs to be on Blu. Enough said.

With the increased popularity of streaming, this is another series that I doubt will ever be released on Bluray. I see the DVD set is available for about $58 during the current sale at Deep Discount DVD. That is tempting because I can’t see a better price for the HD streaming options and they may be edited yet again.

I was surprised that Amazon Prime only has the first nine seasons in HD, at $10 a season.

I just noticed that Vudu has the complete series in HD for $30. Has anyone seen that version?
