Movie names to episode titles - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Alan Brady's Hair · 11-19-2016, 10:52 AM

Some movies have inspired the names of multiple sitcom episodes. The Swedish skin film "I Am Curious (Yellow)" inspired several episode titles:

I Am Curious Partridge (Partridge Family)
I Am Curious Lemon (That Girl)
I Am Curiously Yellow (Get Smart)

The Italian film "La Dolce Vita" inspired:

La Dolce Courage (F Troop)
La Dolce 73 (McHale's Navy)

Have any other movie titles inspired the titles of multiple sitcom episodes?
