Urban legend? It has Cliff written all over it, but I don't think I've ever seen it.

Probably. It's somewhat Cliff-esque in it's nature, but it's very long winded for his character, it's even long winded for the show.

They have sold millions of DVD sets containing every episode ever made and no one has ever found that monologue. The scripts are even out there and same thing, no has ever found it. Some people claim to have seen it, but no one can accurately tie it to an episode.

I actually saw the episode. I used to watch the show religiously. If I can find it on TV, I still do. One of my all-time favorite sitcoms... along with Taxi.

So many people make that claim, yet no one can ever find the episode.

Wonder why that is?

Reruns get 'adjustments' from original airings - some are sped up, some just cut some time -- both in order to fit additional commercial(s.) Perhaps an original broadcast had it, but reruns and DVD's no longer include it? I dunno...I like it, but don't recall having actually seen it.

For reruns, yes. DVD, not so much. I think with Cheers they actually added some footage back in that was originally cut to make the shows fit the 22-1/2 minute run time. Additionally, the scripts are available somewhere, they don't retroactively change scripts to fit what a TV affiliate cuts to make room for a commercial, you'd think someone would have found it in a script by now.

Maybe we should start a GoFundME account for it. "Prove once and for all that Cliff did or did not make the fabled Buffalo theory speech." Ought to be worth a few hundred grand. Get paid to watch 300 episodes of Cheers.

Reality is, I really don't care that much about it, but it's always fun to watch people swear how they saw it and argue how it exists, yet there is no evidence whatsoever to support it.

Wonder if the calls were from slow people....or maybe people just saw the slow aliens

I take it back - it was definitely Cliff that gave the theory - but I can't find what show it was in. I think some owe MACS an apology.

Hold that apology, now I see some people saying this was a hoax spread around on the internet, while one Brit say it was only on British shown episodes. Can't seem to get the truth on this, so I'm giving up (for now). Couldn't find anything on Snopes.

It was at the beginning of the show. Norm was in his usual spot and, looking at the TV, Clavin was a couple spots to the left. He was in his postal uniform (which was the case in most episodes, but not all), and leaning on the bar.
