I'm not sure if this has ever been discussed before, but are there any episodes you can think of where the sitcom characters primarily lived on the mainland, but went to another country or overseas, like on vacation? Some that I can think of are...

I Love Lucy: Lucy Meets the Queen, The Fox Hunt, Lucy Goes to Scotland, Lucy Meets Charles Boyer, Lucy Gets A Paris Gown, Lucy in the Swiss Alps, Lucy Goes Homesick in Italy, Lucy's Italian Movie, Lucy's Bicycle Trip, Lucy Goes to Monte Carlo, The Ricardos Visit Cuba,
The Hogan Family: "Paris"
The Facts of Life Goes to Paris
The Facts of Life Down Under
Sabrina, The Teenage Witch Goes to Rome
Family Ties Vacation

I'm sure there's more...
