This Made Me Laugh

I am (or was, I guess, it ended in 2006) a big fan of the show "Still Standing". It was about Bill and Judy Miller, a toilet salesman and a dental assistant, and their family. Bill and Judy were high school lovers who turned in their wild lifestyle to get married years ago. Now, as they creep toward middle age, they have to deal with more "everyday" things, such as their three kids: their intelligent and (to Bill's horror) still sexually-unsure son Brian; their typical drama queen daughter Lauren; and their smug, sarcastic six year old, Tina.

With Judy's desperate man-hunting sister Linda, Bill's interfering mother Louise, a lesbian couple living next door and other crazy characters around, it's no wonder that Bill and Judy constantly get into strange (and oft-hilarious) misadventures as they try to prove that they're not too old to have fun. Along the way, they always end up showing that they "still" love each other, no matter what.

In one episode, Linda is finally getting married to the lead singer of a Foghat cover band (which I can't type without laughing). The minister who the groom has selected to perform the ceremony is his 'best mate', the honorable Reverend Roach. Yeah, you heard me. Now, guess who played the good Reverend? Yep, our Richie; May 23, 2005, in an episode called "Still Getting Married".
