Here's a Cheers scene that aired on February 2, 1984:
And here's the famous Only Fools and Horses chandelier scene - to me, the only scene funnier than the iconic Del Boy falls thru the bar scene - that aired on December 2, 1982:
Were the writers of Cheers influenced by this scene from Only Fools and Horses? Of course it's natural to assume such a thing to be crazy; how many Americans NOW are aware of Only Fools and Horses, much less back at the beginning of 1984?
BUT!
George Wendt guest-starred in an episode of the Only Fools and Horses spinoff series, the wonderful The Green Green Grass. So...MAYbe there was a legitimate connection?!?!?!?!?!?!
