* One memorable episode of ''Series/TheDrewcareyShow'' sees Drew and his friends dressing up to attend a midnight screening of ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow.'' When they get there, they find Drew's SitcomArchNemesis Mimi and a gaggle of drag queens (including his boss Mr. Wick), because ''Rocky Horror'' has been replaced with another cult midnight movie: ''Film/PriscillaQueenOfTheDesert''. Each group claims that their film is better, and they proceed to have a dance battle to prove it, with the ''Rocky Horror'' team performing "Time Warp" and the ''Priscilla'' gang doing "Shake Your Groove Thing." Eventually the two songs are mashed up--just in time for the cops to arrive and cart people off for disturbing the peace.
