What was your favorite episode of a sitcom that featured a musical guest? I have two: the episode of "Suddenly Susan" that featured Shawn Colvin and the episode of "Veronica's Closet" that had Isaac Hayes.

Mine are:
"Doo Wah" (W/ El Debarge, "The Facts of Life")
"The Music Man" (W/ Janet Jackson, "Diff'rent Strokes")
And probably my all time favorite episode with a famous singer:
"Laverne & Shirley Meet Fabian" (W/ Fabian, L&S)

Here are the episodes I liked that featured singers:

"The Brady Bunch":
1. when Monkee Davy Jones accompanied Marcia to her prom

"Laverne & Shirley":
1. when they met Fabian
2. when The Spinners appeared (it was when Frank had to babysit for a chimp--one of the California episodes)

"Perfect Strangers"
1. when Larry and Balki went to Las Vegas, hoping to get tickets to Wayne Newton, who guest-starred

Pitooey · 01-05-2002, 12:18 PM

I have 2 -

Davy Jones on the Brady Bunch and

Sammy Davis on All in the Family

My favorites are:

1. Here's Lucy "Lucy and Donny Osmond"

Lucy's daughter Kim wins a contest where she gets a dream date with Donny Osmond. In this episode, Donny sings "Too Young" and one other song. The show also features my favorite Brady, Eve Plumb.

2. Happy Days

The episode where Frankie Avalon appears to sing for Howard's lodge brothers. Nobody was sure whether he would actually show up so the Fonz had to take his place for a few minutes and lip-sync to Frankie's hit "Why". It was probably the funniest of all the post-Ron Howard episodes.

3. The Facts Of Life "'62 Pick-Up"

50s teen idols Fabian and Bobby Rydell visit Eastland where the whole gang gets caught up in a flashback sequence where the girls are back-up singers in an early 60s rock band.

4. The Partridge Family "A Knight In Shining Armour"

The one with Bobby Sherman as a struggling songwriter. Still my favorite PF episode.
