“Beer Bad” - BtVS

The exact flip was a plot on MASH, when a number of people get sick off of Winchester’s canned pheasant.

> Brady Bunch again. (Jeez, how much borrowing did they do?) Bobby pushed Peter out of the way of a falling ladder, and Peter declared himself Bobby’s slave for life. Although that led not so much to Bobby being annoyed by Peter as taking advantage of him. Which led to them being at odds with each other, **dividing the room with masking tape** (Greg was in the attic by then), and a not-staged accident – Bobby locks himself in the closet.

Dividing the house was a well-used TV show staple. I remember it from Brady Bunch, I Love Lucy, The Munsters, and even in Farscape.

Most recently on “Derry Girls” with pot scones. Except the main characters knew what they were. No one else at the funeral did.
