*'Roseanne' is notorious for spoofing TV shows. She spoofed 'Gillian's Island,' and a few others. Including '50's housewives. She also spoofed 'I Dream of Jeanie.'
*Raven of 'That's So Raven' spoofed 'I Love Lucy' and 'The Wizard of Oz'

well for one, in caroline in the city, there was an episode in season 3 where it spoofed 'the outer limits'

Anyone remember Day By Day with thier Brady Bunch Spoof?

Perfect Strangers and King of Queens spoofed The Honeymooners. ALF and Baywatch spoofed Gilligan's
Island, and Baywatch also spoofed Charlie's Angels.

"THAT 70S SHOW" spoofed "ALL IN THE FAMILY" once, and another time "CHARLIES ANGELS". Oh, and they also spoofed "I DREAM OF JEANNIE" once.
"GREEN ACRES" spoofed "THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES" once.

Moonlighting although not a sitcom per se did a great Honeymooners spoof.

It seems like so many sitcoms have done "It's a Wonderful Life" or "A Christmas Carol" and yet none come to mind.

The Jeffersons did a Dallas/Who Shot JR spoof. Which also brings to mind when shows like The Jeffersons and Benson did Murder Mystery episodes....loved those!!! Were there others?

If you're asking if any other shows did murder mysteries: yes. The Golden Girls.

Back to the spoofs: 'One Tree Hill' did a spoof on 'It's A Wonderful Life' where Keith came back as an Angel and showed Luke what Tree Hill would be like without him.

both "WKRP IN CINCINATTI" and "SANFORD AND SON" among others, spoofed "IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE".

Didn't "8 SIMPLE RULES" spoof "3s COMPANY" once?

Although these aren't sitcoms, both "SCTV" and "SNL" have spoofed "THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW" among many others.

"THE KING OF QUEENS" spoofed "THE HONEYMOONERS", "THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS" and an old TV movie called "BRIANS SONG" once.

Tiny Toon Adventures did a parody of "It's a Wonderful Life." Sanford
& Son spoofed "A Christmas Carol." And The Simpsons satirized
Dallas, with the episode "Who Shot Mr. Burns?"

"DALLAS" did a parody of "It's a wonderful life" on their last episode. Joel Gray played an angel who took J.R. around; and showed him what his life would have been like if he was never born, but then at the end he turned out to be the devil; and made J.R. shoot himself.
(when they did the first reunion movie however; you found out that J.R. didn't shoot himself)

Facts Of Life had a Twilight Zone spoof, as well as a Golden Girls spoof

blairjotootienat · 03-09-2008, 04:50 PM

Haha I loved that Facts episode. The "Rod Serling" liked saying Tootie if I recall. Was Pipa on already? :-)

What I Like About You spoofed Gilligan's Island.

George Lopez spoofed Leave it to Beaver, The Munsters, and The Jettsons.

brokecrazy · 04-16-2008, 11:07 PM

Growing Pains spoofed Growing Pains. Don't remember exactly, but they showed the whole "set" and Ben was set in his character and the other "actors" were actors.
IF anyone remembers more, please help. I think i have it on videotape somewhere.
