Sitcom episodes

I am amazed that we have gotten into the third page of the thread and nobody (myself included) has mentioned the episode of "Cheers" where Cliff Clavin goes on Jeopardy.

/Archibald Leach, Bernard Schwartz, and Lucille LeSueu have never been in my kitchen either.

[quote name=\'wasabe\' date=\'Jun 29 2005, 02:36 PM\']Obviously, the Cheers episode where Cliff goes on "Jeopardy!", and gets categories such as; 'Beer', 'Mothers and Sons', and 'Celibacy'.

Guilty pleasure: Golden Girls episode where they go on "Grab That Dough!"

But the "Password" episode of The Odd Couple is second to none.

Oh, good lord, do I suck. Mea culpa. Thank you.

Where's Desperado? Now's the time for him to call me a liar again...

Hey! Watch the "D" words in this forum! Thank you! ;-)

This is sort of a twist on the topic of this post, but I enjoyed the episodes of Password Plus where Vicki Lawrence and Carol Burnett played as Mama and Eunice for part of the week they were on.  Quite funny.  

I also enjoyed the Night Court episode where Bull goes on "What Am I?"  Anyone else remember that one?

Here's a couple nobody saw:

The Munsters Today - "The Reel Munsters"
I play Martin Winkdale introducing Herman, Lillie, Grampa, etc.

Smart Guy - "A Little Knowledge"
I'm the generic game show announcer when Taj Mowry appears on a Jeopardy-type show.

(Holy Good Gawd. A GIS on her name proves my point. In spades.)

For a not-so-great looking little kid, she turned out all right.

I remember an E! special on her from a few years back (not "True Hollywood Story" - this had a different name reserved for stars whose lives aren't screwed up) - she had a 38DD chest at age 15, and had breast reduction surgery because they were giving her back problems.

Okay, on we go.  It's not a sitcom, but The Carol Burnett Show episode featuring Eunice on The Gong Show was both funny and touching.

Lizzie McGuire and her friends Miranda and Gordo went on a Spanish-language game called El Oro de Montezuma in one episode. Erik Estrada played the host.

Speaking of Gong Show, I recall an episode of "What's Happening" where a children's chorus appeared to sing "Bubblin' Brown Sugar". Chuck Barris wasn't in that one, so the winner was announced by one of the panelists immediately after the chorus (who won). I still found it bizarre that the host didn't announce the winner.

And on "Laverne and Shirley" (after the move to California), Squiggy appeared on "the Dating Game", hosted by Jim Lange. One moment I recall from that episode is that Squiggy tore off one of the letters from "The Dating Game" logo. Also, the end credits, where Jim, Squiggy and the contestants danced while the "Laverne & Shirley" theme played.

Weren't the names of the contestants in the courtroom scene before the game named "Stempel" and "Van Doren"?

Now, if they'd only speed up the DVD releases of 'Night Court'...

A favorite of mine is the episode of "Sanford and Son" with Fred, Lamont and Bubba on "The Gong Show".

The funniest part of the episode is when Chuck Barris introduces the guys, and Fred immediately goes over to the panel, collects their mallots, and thows them off the stage!

This episode just came out on the Season 6 DVD.

Would it be cool if someone put together an exhaustive list of all of these tidbits? Maybe even post it to a website. It could cover TV, movies, song.

Yeah, someone should TOTALLY get on that.

You should have seen her in the final two seasons of Sabrina the Teenage Witch.

And didn't Monty Hall make a guest shot on "Sabrina"?
