12. The Treasured Episode

Think you’ve watched every Cheers episode there is? Maybe not. “Uncle Sam Malone” was a special mini-episode that was written and filmed to promote the purchase of U.S. savings bonds, at the request of the U.S. Treasury. The show’s creators were contracted to produce the episode early in the series’ run and as its purpose was only for promotional purposes at savings bond drives. Subsequently it never aired on television and won’t be found on any of the DVDs.
