Does Anyone Remember Gary Coleman making guest appances on Other Sitcoms? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Do any of you remember Gary Coleman making guest appearances in other sitcoms?

He made guest appearances on Good Times and The Jeffersons when he was a little boy.

Earlier in the decade, he made a guest appearance on The Parkers, where he played a tenant / neighbor who had just moved in upstairs in Mo'Nique's building, looking for an acting job. Also, in that episode, Mo'Nique had the hots for him.

Can you name anything else that he was in?

I know that he was on the final episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air along with Conrad Bain.

Of course years later he guested on Married With Children. Christina Applegate as Kelly Bundy had a famous line: "Aren't you Gary Coleman?"

He was the Guest Star in an episode ofBuck Rogers called "Cosmic Whiz Kid". It turns out he also came from the 20th Century, and one of the things I remember him saying about life in the future was that he missed Saturday Morning Cartoons.

How Prophetic he was about that one!

Didn't he appear on "The Facts of Life" as well ?

And in Martin in the mid 90s, where he played a Gooch-type part

(but i know you knew it already!).

As a matter of fact, wasn't Facts of Life a spin-off from Strokes? I thought that I might have seen Kim Fields appear on Strokes a few times.

In the late 90s through the early 00s, Gary would appear in bits on Jay Leno. They were all hilarious. He appeared as an elf in one, participated in a "Celebrity Survivor" parody with other vintage TV actors, and as a "candidate" for Mr. Rogers' old job, among others.

I never knew that he was in an episode of Martin, and I watch that all the time on TVOne. I DID however, see 3 famous rappers make guest appearances on the show. They were NOTORUOUS B.I.G., Snoop Dogg and BizMarkie.

Didn't see him on 227 either.

I only saw him on The Parkers. I recorded that episode, thank God!!
