TMNT mentioned on Cheers TV Show
 

I'm a huge fan of the TV sitcom 'Frasier' and Ive just finished watching the entire dvd collection, that I got for Christmas. Now I've started watching the show 'Cheers'.. which is where Frasier came from of course. Being born in 86, I never saw much of Cheers, as I was too young to appreiciate the comedy.

So Im watching this episode called "I'm Getting My Act Together and Sticking it in Your Face" -- youtube link >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWTCDYvhcIQ. And Frasier begins to mention a Charles Dickens novel, which of course, none of the other characters know what he's talking about. So then he mentions four pizza loving turtles that practice martial arts in the sewer! :D Which Cliff replies in the usual boring way that he does... "Y'know, alot of people dont realise, that was a comic book first!"

I couldn't believe my ears, and just had to post this on the forums! :D

Hopefully someone else is a Frasier/Cheers fan, and will smile as much as I did when I heard it :) lol. The quote is at around 6 minutes in to the linked video above.

I did not know that... I do like it when the four mean green get a mention in whatever show or movie I'm watching... It always brings a smile to my face...

There was also an episode of Married with Children that mentioned the turtles.

I never knew about that either. For more Frasier sightings, look for his crossover on an ep of Wings. Cliff & Norm showed up in an other one.

I also love when I'm watching a show and hear about them. And I totally saw that Married with Children episode a few weeks ago when Kelly teased Bud about having a Ninja Turtle pillow and said something about Donatello. I took offense because I have a Donatello pillow on my bed....

i didn't know this either , that's awesome.

Ha, that was pretty cool. Cliff reminds me of a guy called Ali down my local. Guess every bar/pub's got one!

The TMNT also got mentioned in the last episode of Cheers, but I believe the line got cut out of the DVD release.

Context? I don't recall.

Was checking out The Oatmeal today and seen the Ninja Turtles mentioned in this comic... It's pretty funny...

Does anybody else remember the Married With Children episode with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles model coffin? It looked like a turtle shell!

And I'm sure everybody has seen the Two and a Half Men episode where they play the theme song to the old cartoon...

Never watched that show, but you can still see a picture of it on the InternetArchive of the late, great NinjaTurtlesNetwork.com:

that's cool

Norrrrrrrm!

At the beginning, when they see Diane at the awards show on the TV. The TV announcer says something like, "Coming up next, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!"

"Hey guys, see when I die, bury me in one of these!" :lol:

I remember seeing that when it originally aired. I wonder if they play it in the reruns?

Here's the 2 and a Half Men clip... I could only find it in German!

I hadn't seen that before (can't stand that show), but that surely happened because Chuck Lorre, creator of the show, also wrote the TMNT theme song. There's also a blurb that's been at the end of the credits about how he's never received any royalties from the song (and he's quite bitter about it).

Wow! Did he write the Fred Wolf theme or the 4Kids theme?

Also, do you have a screenshot of the blurb at the end of the credits?
