Which characters from your favorite sitcoms & movies dressed up as the opposite sex?

On Happy Days, Ritchie & Potsie dressed up as girls and went to a dance. The
Fonz, thinking Ritchie was a girl, danced with him & started blowing in his ear.
I always get a good laugh out of that one.

Bosom Buddies of course!!

Full House - Danny and Joey dress up to take something from an old college sorority.

The Brady Bunch - Peter dresses up as a Sunflower Girl.

Of course there's the king of the crossdressers, Maxwell Q. Klinger from M*A*S*H.

It is interesting to note that the cross-dressing roles that are accepted are men dressing as females. When you see a woman dressing as a man it is freaky. Check out Lucy & Ethel or Roseanne.

There are probably more.

Fran on The Nanny dressed up like a man to get into a gentlemans club where
Maxwell was, and she did look pretty odd. Wonder why women don't come out as well in the transfer?

On "Alice," Alice (Linda lavin) had a male alias who showed up on a few episodes.

Anyone remember his name?

Don't forget Scott Baio's transformation to a woman twice and Willie Aames once in Charles In Charge. Charles was one ugly woman to be in a woman's meeting and Aames was the prettiest woman out of the whole group.

Don't forget Mr. Belvedere famous cross-dressing episode...those two couldn't pass for old women at all. I mean, the mustache is a giveaway...hehehehehe...

Thank you for remembering that. I thought I was the only crazy person to remember her with a beard; it did stick in my mind. I looked at the episode guide but didn't see it. It is a creepy memory.

It could have been worse.

They could have named you Igor, or Zale, or Rizzo.

Wow! So, I'm "Jamie" 'cause my parents' favorite character was Klinger on MASH. My brother is "Jeff" from Igor! And, if I ever breed, I want to name a kid Max after Klinger...maybe it's all hereditary!

Also on Laverne & Shirley, the girls dressed up like guys so they could go into
a pool hall's restroom and erase their name & number from the wall. This was
pretty funny too.

I was wondering when did Laverne and Shirley cross Dress as Guy's
