'Cheers' alum John Ratzenberger is afraid his ex-girlfriend has been listening to too much country music and, well, he wants a restraining order.

In court papers obtained by TMZ, Ratzenberger claims his ex has alluded in the past that she would channel rowdy man-hating country songs to exact revenge upon him.

TV's Cliff Claven says she has "indicated that it is common in many country western songs for women to set the cars of their former boyfriends on fire."
He adds: "That statement insinuates that she may have the capacity to perpetuate this act or similar violent conduct."

In the filing, Ratzenberger also claims the unidentified woman has been leaving "harassing and intimidating phone calls, emails and text messages" and that he would feel safer if she would stay a good 100 yards away from him and his house. And his car.

Ratzenberger's Ex Strikes Back
14 May 2009 2:55 PM, PDT

The ex-girlfriend of actor John Ratzenberger has hit back at the former Cheers star, after he accused her of threatening to blow up his car.

Ratzenberger, who played Cliff Calvin in the hit sitcom, filed a request for a restraining order against 45-year-old Lindsay McGrail, alleging she had made "harassing and intimidating phone calls, emails and text messages" to him, his family and friends.

The complaint filed in Los Angeles added that McGrail had "indicated that it is common in many country western songs for women to set the cars of their former boyfriends on fire" and that he feared she'd do the same to him.

But McGrail has responded, telling TMZ.com Ratzenberger had twisted a comment she had made and that she was "not stupid enough" to blow up his car.

The actor is bidding to keep McGrail least 100 yards away from him, his home and his workplace.
