No getting mixed up over here – you're a crossover master! Nicely done!
Missed #3
I can be forgiven. I never watched that fuzzy mop.

Great bit on "The Nanny", where Fran's grandmother gets a little confused about the line between real life and TV reruns. She insists that something she saw on the Dick Van Dyke really happens, and tries to prove it by dragging Brighton in front of her and saying "See, there's Richie!"
Then she points at the mirror in the hallway and adds "...and there's Millie!"
(Best one, though, involved a feature film remake of a classic TV show, "The Beverly Hillbillies" with Jim Varney as Jed Clampett, Dabney Coleman as Mr Drysdale, and Lily Tomlin as Miss Jane. At one point, the characters decide they need to hire a private eye, and who should they choose but Barnaby Jones!)

Yes, Ann Morgan Gilbert WAS Laura's BFF on DVD! And Yes, Buddy Ebsen WAS Barnaby in his last movie role!
There's also a real crossover on The Nanny when Ray Barone from Everybody Loves Raymond is revealed as Fran's high school classmate.
12/13; missed #8 - I was not much of a fan of that show and do not remember the Jefferson couple appearing on it.

Good eye on those episodes – not too much get's by you!
That was pretty tough. I had to guess on most of the questions.
