I dunno if anyone's posted this question before but how many bands or singers can you name that have appeared on sitcoms? Here are the ones that I can think of -

K.D. Lang, Bob Dylan and Lyle Lovett all appeared on 'Dharma & Greg'.

K.D. Lang, Melissa Ethridge, Bonnie Raite and Aaron Nevelle all appeared on 'Ellen'.

Nsync appeared on Clueless.

Gladys Knight appeared on 'A Different World'.

"This life has been a test. If it were an actual life you would have recieved instructions on where to go and what to do."
- Angela, 'My So-called Life'

"...everything was there and around us. We knew exactly who we were and exactly where we were going. It was grand."
- Gordie, 'Stand By Me'

Bruce Willis (hey, remember his album?) also was on Friends. Rick Springfield appeared in a couple episodes of Suddenly Susan. ALso those two guys from The Turtles appeared on Suddenly Susan and sang "Happy Together". Vanessa L. Williams, Tom Jones, Tevin Campbell and Bell Biv Devoe all were on Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

Also I just remembered, Samantha Fox was on Charles In Charge. Milli Vanilli appeared on the Super Mario Bros 3 cartoon show. I think Alice Cooper was on That 70's Show. Alice Cooper was on The Gong Show one time, but that doesn't really count as a sitcom. But, hey, it's funnier that a lot of them. Tammy Wynette was on Married... With Children.
