This exact plot has recently been green-lit by Netflix, to film as a series in Nova Scotia:
From the story:

Sue has run track, been on the volleyball team, and been a team mascot. Wouldn't those count as a credit?

Boy, as soon as Mike touched that girl on the shoulder, I thought, "visit from the police heading your way!" I found that whole interaction with the other family very irritating — Brick doesn't need friends like that.

How convenient that every price tag on every console perfectly covers the product logo.

I know it's a running gag, but no one should have to wear braces for that long.

Yeah, she should be crazy busy with her job, and that orientation group whose initials I can't remember, volleyball, wrestlerettes. I'm surprised that such an awkward girl would lean so heavily into athletics. Why not glee club or yearbook or drama club? They'll take anyone.

So, was Jay burying the things himself and using the dog as an excuse, or was he giving them to the dog to bury for him? And doesn't he have sprinklers that would get in the way of dozens of holes dug into the yard?

I took it as them desperately trying to change the subject from Claire's job.

I want those lasers.

So is that what Cheryl Hines looks like under all her makeup, or was that engineered to be super dowdy?

I think Mike and Brick need a Weirdo Venn Diagram, not a weirdo flowchart.

I've got mini discs, some mini-DV video I don't have a working player for since the camera failed, and a pile of VCDs. I assume everyone still has some cassette tapes around, right?

The bigger story here is that Radio Shack STILL HAS over 5000 locations!
Edit: and that there will still be 4000 after this.

I think at some point in a later season, they refer to it as a "soda," which suggests soda water.  It's weird to think that most everything was still in glass bottles then.  I don't think Cheers has a soda gun, does it?

Man, I wish I hadn't read that article.  I've never seen or read "American Psycho," though I started the book once and put it down before it even got awful because I had no interest in the characters.  And now I can never unsee a whole raft of unpleasant mental images.  Serves me right.

I found myself wondering how long they're going to make Eden Sher wear that stupid headgear. Give the poor girl a break!

Boy, watch a few episodes of The Jeffersons.

At one point in a slightly later season, Norm says of himself that he's 38. Somehow all of them seem much more middle-aged than these numbers you're throwing around. But the math works. I'm afraid that actually I just can't believe that they're the age I am now.

I thought that lopping off the corner of the rectangular cake was just about right.

Just watched season 4—Bebe Neuwirth had a single appearance in Cheers after an awkward date with Frazier and wasn't seen again the rest of the season.  They have a great bunch of repartee before she's gone.
