Line 21:
** The "main male character's older brother who is better at everything" was used for ''Cheers'' as well. Many sitcoms used virtually the same script, including ''[[Three's Company]]''.
** Diane borrows money from Sam in one episode, and proceeds to spend it on apparently frivolous items before paying Sam back. This is a very common sitcom plot, used again in ''[[Frasier]]'' and many other shows.
* [[Retroactive Recognition]]: There are several in the series.
* [[Star-Making Role]]: True for almost the whole cast, except for Kirstie Alley who got her big break a few years earlier with ''[[Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan|Star Trek II the Wrath of Khan]]'', and arguably Bebe Neuwirth with her stage experience.

** [[Coach|Thomas Haden Church]] appears in ''Death Takes a Holiday on Ice''.
*** A studly blond [[Batman: The Animated Series|Kevin Conroy]] appears in the same episode.
** [[The Drew Carey Show|Diedrich Bader]] appeared as a [[Deadpan Snarker|snarky]] waiter in episode ''Sammy and the Professor''.

* [[Technology Marches On]]: In the Season 3 finale, everyone at the bar is impressed by Sam's new answering machine. In Season 4 Sam is jealous when Diane's boyfriend has a car phone.
