Ursual Buffay was a regular on Mad About You before Friends, appeared in 3 times as many Mad About You episodes compared to Friends.
Frasier Crane appeared on Wings before Frasier.
Jerry Seinfeld appeared on an episode of Newsradio in like 1996 or 1997.
It was not only a good way for NBC to wink at the audience that everyone was in the same universe, but it was also a big draw for a new show or a show trying to get some eyeballs.
It was also a good way to advertise for the show that week.
"And done miss Will Smith on The Cosby Show!"
You'd have to sit through 20 minutes of show and commercials to catch one scene with the guest star. It was an age old network TV trick.

They were white and the shows were better. Make whatever conclusion you want.

For that initial Must See TV season the OP posted Homicide: Life on the Street also ran. It filled the time slot LA Law held during the winter.

quote:The joke was that George was trapped in his engagement with Susan, and he had to lay in bed with her and watch this "married version of Seinfeld".
I remember one episode of seinfeld when george and susan are in bed at night and they're watching mad about you. didn't seem out of the ordinary at the time but now that I think about it I guess it's kinda unusual for a show to reference another show on the same network, that was airing at roughly the same time.
Another twist: On Mad About You it was revealed that Paul was still subletting his old bachelor apartment, which his wife took as a sign of non-commitment to their marriage. It turns out the sublet was Kramer's apartment across the hall from Jerry.

I feel sorry for you central time zone peeps. Eastern time zone for the win.

quote:Mad About You didn't age well at all. Certainly not as well as Seinfeld, Wings, Cheers, etc.
Before Friends, Mad About You was probably NBCs second biggest show on the network.
It may have even been out drawing Seinfeld at that time, yet now, it's basically vanished from existence.
It's one of the crazier diapering acts for such a gigantic show I can ever remember.
Watching it today, the wife is a fricking shrew. Once you get to the point where she cheats on Paul, the series is just miserable. Add the fact that they fricked up the final season by adding a baby and changing the entire chemistry of the show. IMHO, the last line of the series should've been Jamie holding up a home pregnancy test and saying, "I'm pregnant."

I liked the redhead - i think she was marred to John Ritter at the time.

Excellent memories

LA Law picture is from 1st season. Blair Underwood joined the cast starting Season 2.
OP's blatant racism in posting a pic for the only season that didn't have the only African American as a main cast member is forgiven because of the Frazier pic he posted with Jane Levee's pokie showing.

First of all i don’t know shite about LA Law so i just picked the first full cast promo pic i saw
Second it’s been nice watching the “omg another minority lgbtqfjydgj+ character reeeeee” crowd race up this thread
(I know you’re being facetious fwiw)

The TGIF line-up I associate with the most was Family Matters, Boy Meets World, Step
By Step, and Hangin with Mr. Cooper.
I think Dinosaurs was around for 2-3 seasons and I caught the end of Perfect Strangers as well.

Where is Susan Dey, as D.D.A. Grace Van Owen, and eventually Judge Grace Van Owen?
