YMMV / Cheers S11E25: "One For The Road"

• Aluminum Christmas Trees: The whole deal with the Cable ACE awards is basically a joke about Diane's pretensions, how that after she fancied herself a great writer she wound up stuck on cable TV. A few years after Cheers ended its run, shows such as Sex and the City and The Sopranos debuted on HBO and established cable as the home of some of the best television shows. The Cable ACE awards were eventually discontinued because cable shows and made-for-cable movies like Diane's wound up winning Emmys regularly.
