Let's be a 1980s sitcom

I'm the very special episode involving a character with AIDS

I am the awkward unattractive teenager. I was an adorable precocious moppet when the series started.

I'm the big, frosty helmet hair and cowl neck sweaters.

I am the dark atmosphere hanging over everything. I will lift around 1999 and then some tv will be as good as the movies.

I'm the clapping and cheering for the show's breakout star, which overshadows the main star and pisses him off.

"The Fonz" on Happy Days.

"Kramer" on Seinfeld.

Etc.

I'm the obviously gay actor who is playing a straight character.

I'm the awful theme music.

I am the round dining table in the kitchen where the family gathers for Important Discussions, and Light Frivolity, depending on the theme of the episode.

I'm the pretty teenage girl struggling with bulimia.

Hi Kirk!

I'm the exterior shot of the house during the credits that bears no relation whatsoever to the layout of the set.

I’m the adorable youngest child. I was born last season, once the showrunners realized R2 would never be cute. I’m already five years old!

I am Reginald VelJohnson.

I'm the episode of Kate and Allie in which an elderly lesbian mistakes the main characters as a lesbian couple.

I'm guest star Edie McClurg as a nosy neighbor, the president of the PTA, or the lady at the bank!

I'm Judith Light!

I'm the layout of the house, which makes no sense at all.

I'm the "Very Special Episode", breaking boundaries about the issues of the Day!

I'm Bea Arthur.

I'm Tina Yothers, sitting at the kitchen counter and saying "Yeahhhh..." knowingly every few minutes, but having not much else to do.

I'm an important lesson learned by the end of the episode.

I'm the synth-heavy theme song.

I am the days and nights of Molly Dodd.

I'm TWO PROM DATES?!?

I'm the feisty elder in the family, living like I'm 18 and about to do be deployed on a TOD, there's way too many shenanigans for someone my age to be getting into, but someone has to have fun.

I'm a cheesy dance and singing number on The Cosby Show. I was done to make it seem like Huxtables were a cool and hip family, when in reality all of them minus Denise were smug and condescending.

I'm the kitchen table where we sit like it's the round 4 top equivalent to the last supper.

I'm the lies otherwise likable characters tell to get into and out of jams

I'm Claire Huxtable being a total bitch to my kids.

I'm the dope I'm sure you smoked

I'm the episode where one of the kids goes "punk" or gets a punk rocker friend.

The costumer for the show, a 50-year-old woman, has no idea what punk rock is.

I'm the on trend legwarmers, sports wear and matching high top sneakers. Sometimes I've got several layers of scrunched socks on display.

I'm Ted Knight

I'm Ted McGinley. Sorry in advance.

im a big picture window over the kitchen sink

I'm the hideous plaid couch.

I am the character that everyone knows but that you've never seen before. I show up and present a social issue (Homosexuality, Alcoholism, teen pregnancy, etc...) and after the 'very special' episode I'm never heard from again.

I'm a flashy aerobics outfit

I'm the Black child adopted by a rich white family because my parents are....negligent (aka crackheads).

I’m the ugly frizzed permed hairstyles - that were ubiquitous by the mid 1980’s especially on females.

Je suis Jacqueline Perrault... et mon valet de pied ne sonne qu'une seule fois.

I'm Meredith Baxter, and yes, it is obvious I'm a lesbian
