While playing a quick game of questions, Martin (Martin Lawrence) finds out that Gina (Tisha Campbell-Martin) makes more money than he does.

Florence Johnston, The Jeffersons
Michael Evans, Good Times
Louise (Isabel Sanford) was nervous about hiring a maid, but George (Sherman Hemsley) was hell-bent on getting some help around the house. As Florence (Marla Gibbs) was getting ready to leave the apartment, Helen (Roxie Roker) and Diane (Paulene Myers) stopped by.

Florida Evans, Good Times
Harriet Winslow, Family Matters
In this episode, Michael Evans (Ralph Carter) tries to diagnose his mother with menopause. (Remember when he tried to say his father had hypertension?)

Clair Huxtable, The Cosby Show
This scene is probably one of the most memorable moments in Cosby Show history. Elvin Tibideaux (Geoffrey Owens) had been teetering on Clair's last nerve with his "macho attitudes," so she finally reads him from head to toe after he asks if she "serves Dr. Huxtable."
