Invasion of the co-worker - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Can you think of some shows where the main character's co-workers came to their home whether they were invited or not?

On Ugly Betty, Daniel Meade, Christina, Mark and several others have
showed up at her home.

The pilot episode of MTM, Lou Grant came staggering into Mary's apartment drunk while she was visiting with her former boyfriend. I think Ted also showed up uninvited a time or two.

Over at Bewitched, there were plenty of times Larry Tate showed up unannounced and uninvited to the Stephens house. Of course there was always witchcraft related mayhem going on during those times.

On the bright side, Mary Richards and Samantha Stephens hosted plenty of business dinners at their homes, or strictly social events where they invited co-workers. Barney Miller also visited Chano's apartment. Barney was there to comfort Chano after he shot and killed two bank robbers. Another time, Dietrich (in his debut episode) showed up at Fish's apartment. This episode introduced the immortal line: "Go away, Beverly is busy" (spoken like Gregory Peck, of course).

Dr. Bob Hartley's best friend also worked down the hall from him, so naturally Dr. Jerry Robinson would be a frequent guest at the Hartley apartment. Their receptionist Carol was also an occasional visitor.

on "Everybody loves Raymond" some of Rays co-workers would stop over sometimes.
On "The King of Queens" Deacon stops over sometimes.
Sometimes on "The Dick Van Dyke show" Buddy, Sally, Mel, and Alan would stop over. Mostly Buddy & Sally.
On "The Andy Griffith show" Barney would stop over sometimes. But, since he was Andys cousin too, he didn't really need an invitation.
And then there was Roger and Dr. Bellows on "I dream of Jeannie".

On Frasier, Roz Doyle came over to Frasier's apartment several times.

On The Lucy Show, we sometimes saw Mr. Mooney visit Lucy's place.

And on I Love Lucy there was a time or two when Rickys Band came over to
the apartment to rehearse. Can you imagine having a band rehearse in your
apartment?

On Alice, Flo and Mel, from the diner came over to her home on some episodes.

andress_jade · 05-03-2007, 08:12 PM

On I Dream of Jeannie Dr. Bellows showed up at Tony's house a lot and it was usually to snoop or ask questions that were none of his business.

On The Golden Girls Stan showed up the girls' house uninvited all the time.

On Family Matters Steve showed up at the Winslow's uninvited all the time.

And there were several times Sam went to Carla's house too, once when she was entertaining John from Melvilles.

On WKRP, Andy, Venus, Les & Herb showed up at Johnny's a couple of times.

In "Roseanne" one of Dan's coworkers comes over for dinner night after night, but Roseanne and Dan finally tell him to stop coming around, so he buys them a new refrigerator for his troubles.

Boy Meets World: Mr. Spinelli came over twice to tell Alan that something was wrong with the grocery store when he should've either handled it himself or called on the phone!

(Isn't this thread about co-workers, not just anybody?)
