has anyone else noticed how creative the titles of cheers episodes are? such as It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Bar (where the gang is frantically searching for a money belt in the bar) which is a reference to the movie It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World in which there's a madcap cross-country rush to find some treasure.

just to name a few, other examples of creativity are:
The Days of Wine and Neuroses- title spoof of The Days of Wine and Roses
Norm and Cliff's Excellent Adventure- title spoof of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure
Bar Wars- title spoof of Star Wars
Bar Wars II: The Woodman Strikes Back- title spoof of Star Wars II: The Empire Strikes Back
Bar Wars III: Return of Tecumseh- title spoof of Star Wars III: Return of the Jedi
Adventures in Housesitting- title spoof of Adventures in Babysitting
Dinner at Eight-ish- title spoof of Dinner at Eight
From Beer to Eternity- title spoof of From Here to Eternity
The Heart is a Lonely Snipe Hunter- title spoof of The Heart is a Lonely Snipe Hunter
Peterson Crusoe- title spoof of Robinson Crusoe
It's a Wonderful Wife- title spoof of It's a Wonderful Life
The Last Picture Show- title spoof of The Last Picture Show
Grease- title spoof of Grease
The Norm Who Came in from the Cold- title spoof of The Spy Who Came in from the Cold
The Spy Who Came in for a Cold One - title spoof of The Spy Who Came in from the Cold

Yup I saw the movie "It's a mad mad world" it's a great movie!!! The remake "rat race" is not nearly as good!

Lol i love Norm and Cliff's excellent adventure!!! You see their relationship a lot in that episode and the title is just so great!!!
and BTW in Bill and Ted's excellent adventure my favorite comedian, sstand up guy whatever you wish to call him (I personally refer to him as a modern day philosopher) is in that movie, George Carlin!! He's also in Outrageous fortune with you guessed it SHELLEY LONG!!!!

I love the spoof of From Here (Beer to Eternity). In the original, Montgomery Clift won't box in the army b/c he blinded a man once by accident in a boxing match. Woody's bowling accident was such a funny parody of a very sad movie.
