I Liked It When I Saw It The First Time, Entries Beginning with U

This page is inspired by the comedy of David Spade. Yes, David Spade. During his stay on Saturday Night Live, he would occasionally put things down that seemed to copy things before them by saying something like "I liked 'Black Sheep' the first time I saw it, when it was called 'Tommy Boy'". So this is my attempt at ranking on the movies and television programs of the nineties (and present) by pointing out what they copied from the eighties. Since there always seems to be a lot or unoriginal ideas in Hollywood, this should be an easy page to fill up quickly.

I liked "UPN WWE Smackdown" when it was called NBC WWF Saturday Night Main Event
Before there was a Smackdown, there was a WWF Saturday Night Main Event. [Ed.'s note: It came on every few months when SNL took their breaks.]
I liked "Undercover Brother" when it was called I'm Gonna Git You Sucka
I liked "Unhappily Ever After" when it was called Married.....With Children
This is the most shameless rip-off ever. Fox's obvious attempt to make a new Married.....With Children.
I liked "User Friendly" when it was called Dilbert
I liked "Usher" when it was called Michael Jackson


What else can you think of that is ripped off from the 80s?
