The Muffs also appeared on Clueless. They played a song I've been curious about finding.

Anthrax played on Married..with Children.

Davy Jones was also on Herman's Head, and some others.

Also I just remembered, Samantha Fox was on Charles In Charge. Milli Vanilli appeared on the Super Mario Bros 3 cartoon show. I think Alice Cooper was on That 70's Show. Alice Cooper was on The Gong Show one time, but that doesn't really count as a sitcom. But, hey, it's funnier that a lot of them. Tammy Wynette was on Married... With Children.
