    I'm assuming that I am right with the SNL answer off the last one of these.


    The first interracial couple on American TV was on this show (and no, I don't count Lucy and Ricky as interracial, sorry).

    I was going to say 30 Rock, but went for comedy on my first answer.

    I believe dmc's was The Jeffersons (although there is a good argument for Star Trek here as well).

    Correct. Of course, you could have said that in your first post and saved dmc from the shame and embarrassment of improperly posting a new clue without waiting for confirmation on his answer. :p :p

    Edit: but the answer to dmc's is Mork and Mindy :D

    Cheers. I remember an episode where they said the bar was actually opened in 1889 instead of 1895 as the sign said.

    That was my favorite -- although the next episode "Farty Towels" was also good.

    Your turn Splunge.

    I also liked Fawlty Titties (not one of the signs, but a Freudian slip by Basil)

    It's too early to come up with something creative, so:

    Chocolate packaging gone wild.

    ---------- Added 6 hours, 46 minutes and 45 seconds later... ----------

    Just to clarify - when I say "chocolate packaging", I'm referring to the act of putting chocolates into packages.

    Yep. I thought it was odd that nobody had guessed it yet, and then I realized I may have worded my clue poorly. Apparently I was right. :)

    You're up, Tootsie, err, LKD.

    I remember that show featured a newly legal Courtney Cox!

    This is actually in the news:

    "Ginger Kids"

    Forgot again... the show takes place (mostly) in a hospital. The aforementioned janitor is one of the prominent characters (has been in every episode).
