In this video, I talk about the various ways classic film actors guest starred on sitcoms: how the shows used their personas, how fame is used as a plot device, and how they represent nostalgia.

Here’s Lucy - Amazon Prime
The Nanny - HBO Max, Tubi
A Different World - Amazon Prime
I Love Lucy - Paramount+
The Golden Girls - Hulu
