Jose Perez.
I thought that might be his name, but it seemed so generic that there was a good chance I was mistaken.
Foul Play, based on the movie of the same name. It starred Barry Bostwick and Deborah Raffin, and it changed the names of all the characters. I think it had more unaired episodes than aired.
Logan Ramsey = “The fat guy who was in all those sit-coms back then.” 
I remember him as the slimy bad guy on shows like Star Trek and Mission: Impossible.
And MASH
Very vague memory of a sit-com set in WW1. At some point one of the characters says something like: “The war to end all wars? Then why do they call it World War One?”
I totally remember this show!
I remember that scene, but I don’t remember where it is from. Was it a sit-com or a sketch comedy?
It sounds like a line from “Blackadder Goes Fourth”.
Potter said something like this in an episode of MASH.
“I was called ‘The Great War,’ before we had the sense to number them,” or words to that effect.
I remember the Potter line, but this particular scene was not in MASH. The scene was explicitly set during WW1. A group of American? British? soldiers encounter some German soldiers. At the end of the scene, one of the Allied soldiers mentions “The War to End All Wars”. Then a German soldier says the line Son_of_a_Rich quoted.
Glad somebody does!
Now that’s a show I’d completely forgotten about. Even now, I only remember the name – I really don’t remember anything about the show.
Lea Thompson, Marty McFly’s mother in Back to the Future, was in it.
I remember it quite well. A generic odd-couple sitcom - Lea Thompson is a free-spirited cartoonist, who hires a snarky, cranky inker named Richard. Inevitably, they wind up together. I remember one particular episode where they’re dealing with intimacy taboos - he can’t pee when she’s in the bathroom with him, and she won’t brush her teeth if he’s watching.
David Hyde Pierce guest-starred in one episode as an IRS agent who’s coming after Caroline’s feckless friend Annie, a dancer in a production of Cats, for unpaid back taxes. He keeps making Cats-themed sexual innuendos, intimating that he could get her off if she made it worth his while. She spends the episode going back and forth before finally bursting out that even though she doesn’t have the money to pay what she owes, she won’t sleep with him just to clear the balance.
“Sleep with you? I don’t want to sleep with you!”
“Then what do you want from me?”
“I want to dance in Cats!”
The last scene is her sneaking him on stage in a cat costume.
This was post-Frasier, and I remember how odd it was to see David Hyde Pierce playing a middle-class, sleazy character.
It wasn’t great TV, but it was cute and enjoyable. I had a bit of a thing for Lea Thompson.
I watched a lot of Caroline, mostly because it was on Thursday night. Between Seinfeld and ER.
… and her friend. I was watching an episode of Burn Notice, and I kept thinking "WHERE do I know that actress from?.. Oh, she was Amy Spidero!"
Caroline’s tough-as-nails girlfriend, played by Amy Pietz. Was also in Star Trek TNG, and played Donna on The Office.
And that’s why it’s strange that I don’t remember it apart from being vaguely aware that it existed. I watched Seinfeld, and I watched ER. So it seems like I would have watched Caroline just because it was there. I wonder if there was a show on another network that I liked more, so I flipped over to that after Seinfeld and back to NBC for ER.
Nitpick: Annie Spadaro
Wonder Shozen, anyone?
