They actually used one of the same lines in Filthy Rich and Designing Women -- Carlotta/Julia (Dixie Carter) to Kathleen/Suzanne (Delta Burke): "If sex were fast food, there'd be an arch over your bed!"

I have to admit, I had never seen Filthy Rich before - it's pretty good! At least, it had me laughing, which is more than I can say about most of the current sitcoms.

speaking of joseph, what about Third Rock from the Sun? i loved that show. it is very hard to choose only a few episodes but i guess i would have to say the pilot was one of my favorite, as well as when they host thanksgiving dinner and when john cleese shows up.

I had forgotten about The Powers That Be. I also thought that Valarie Mahaffey would have been perfect as Maris. /sidenote: She also played the mother of the special needs/terminally ill child on E/R that Dr. Ross (George Clooney) basically showed her how to euthanize. He was fired from the hospital and left for Seattle.

On "Girlfriends", a favorite running gag was that Toni could never remember Maya's son's name.

My favorite one, because Maya just gives up on telling Toni one more time what her son's name is:

Toni: "Who's Jabari?"
Maya: "My son!"
Toni: "Jacuzzi changed his name?"
Maya: "No, girl, he's....yeah, girl, you like it?"
Toni: "No!"

Will and Grace when Karen was getting married to Lyle (Minnie Driver's father), J-Lo was the entertainment and Jack tripped her back-up dancer so that he could replace him.

"And remember, the secret to a happy marriage is.....oh, who am I kidding". Jennifer Lopez.
This is quite appropriate.

Reminds me of Alderman Davis always screwing up Willona's name on Good Times.

Some of my fave sitcom eps are Fresh Prince eps.

My other fave: When Will and Carlton become strippers to get the money to get Aunt Viv's bracelet back.
