Caroline in the City Exists in the Cheers Universe
Friends wasn’t the only time Caroline in the City had a crossover. In the pilot episode, Caroline injures herself and has to take a powerful pain medication to ease the pain. Unable to finish her newspaper strip (called “Caroline in the City”), her male assistant and boyfriend try to finish the strip. They fill it with jokes about women’s shoes, which is a departure from her normal humor.
At the end of the episode, the show cuts to Crane’s apartment in Seattle (from the show Frasier) and Daphne comes into the living room complaining that she normally loves Caroline in the City, but doesn’t get the strip this week. Though they live on opposite coasts, Caroline and Daphne exist in the same universe.
