The Last Picture Show - S11-E18
Corrected entry: In this episode, it's stated that Sam bought the bar from Gus O'Malley. However in "Sam's Women" (season 1), when a man comes in looking for "Gus," Norm says that Gus was two owners ago.
Cheers (1982)
1 corrected entry in season 11
Plot hole: At closing time, Cliff, Norm and Woody spontaneously decide to go to Cliff's house. Sam then enters the bar after his date at Melville's. Later in the scene, Rebecca asks Sam about the 'Three Stooges', to which Sam sarcastically replies that they went to Cliff's house. But how could he possibly know that since he entered the scene after they had already left.
Woody: How can Darth Vader be Luke Skywalker's father? They don't even have the same last name.
Trivia: The portrait of Geronimo hanging in the bar was a tribute to Nicholas Colasanto after he died. The portrait originally hung in his dressing room.
Question: Does anyone know whether the coloured-in photos, which appear throughout the opening titles sequence, are real or made up for the show? If they ARE real, when George Wendt's name appears there's a shot of a man holding a newspaper with 'WE WIN' as the headline - does anybody know what this referred to?
Answer: Here is the source of the "WE WIN" photo: http://www.oldnycphotos.com/nyny587ac.html Brooklyn, of all places.
Chosen answer: The pictures in the opening sequences are real pictures of people enjoying alcohol (from various dates), and are not meant to represent or include any of the cast members. The "we win" sign (most likely not a newspaper headline) is referring to the end of prohibition (1933) A fitting tribute to a show about drinking alcohol.
The word "Nazi" appears in the caption to a story underneath the headline. Maybe the headline refers to the Nazi surrender.

Correction: Who's to say that there wasn't a Gus who owned the bar at the time in question? Norm is a heroic beer drinker - he could easily be drunk enough to confuse two people with the same forename.
