* YouLookFamiliar: Lisa Antille played two different characters, both of whom had a heavy Latin accent and worked as the Rushes' maid: in the season five episode "No Mas, Monroe", Antille plays Evon, a woman from a war-torn Central American country whose work visa is about to expire that Monroe falls in love with, ends up dating, and decides to marry in order for her to stay in the U.S. (they don't get married, and Lisa only accepted his proposal to marry in order to stay in America, and wasn't ''in'' love with Monroe). When the series became ''The Ted Knight Show'', Antille played [[TheDanza Lisa]], who had a mutually flirty relationship with Monroe.
