Strangest TV Moments? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

For whatever reason today, I was thinking about Bob Dylan and his performance at the Grammy Awards a while back. He was on stage and this dancer with "Soy Bomb" written across his chest jumps on stage starts doing this crazy dance. I was just wondering what other people thought were strange moments in television history, another example being the fact that Bob Dylan was in a Victoria's Secret commercial..I just thought that was the strangest idea ever.

"Laverne & Shirley" moving to California and half of Millwaukee moving with them
noone ever paying for drinks on "Cheers".
a bar opening in the morning, and serving coffee on "Cheers"
a newsroom full of people, and only 5 or 6 of them ever talk, on "The Mary Tyler Moore show"
a garage full of people and only 5 or 6 of them ever talk, on "Taxi".

Actually, lots of bars are open in the morning. Usually to catch people who work the night shift, so their 9 in the morning is the same as the "typical" person's 5 at night.

Another one from the Grammy's, but in 1998. The producers thought it would be a good idea to have Shawn Colvin (Sonny Came Home), Sarah Maclachlan (Building a Mystery) and Paula Cole (Where have all the Cowboys Gone) sing exerpts from their songs all interspersed with each other. It was possibly the worst Grammy moment ever. They sped the songs up, Cole started break dancing and wailing on the floor in the middle of her song (she looked like she was dying). But the worst was during the last few verses, when they all sang their respective songs at the same time. OH MY GOD. As they went to commerical immediately afterwards, they showed shots of Melissa Etheridge and Sheryl Crow in the audience, both of whom had stunned looks on their faces, as in "What the hell was that?"

I have it on tape and watch it sporadically for a good laugh.

the all-time weirdest moment came from Angel's fourth season:

Cordelia (as Charisma Carpenter was pregnant in real life) is pregnant and turned evil... then she goes into labor.... AND THE BABY EMERGES AS A THIRTYSOMETHING BLACK WOMAN!!! The character Cordelia herself was supposed to be about 22 or so at the time, and neither her nor Connor (the "father") were black (had Gunn impregnated her, it'd be a little more sensible)

All the stuff that happens on the programme "Strange Days at Blake Holsey High."

I've actually only seen one episode...but from what I've read of the others, that school has the weirdest things going on at it, ever!

2. Sondra being a Huxtable after all 4 children are shown and all Cliff and Clair claim in the first episode to have is 4 children
3. The brother on Happy Days disappearing
4. Roseanne being pregant for at least a year on Roseanne
5. Howard Stearn in those buttless pants on some awards show
