Quotes
ABC Announcer: Thursday is comedy night on ABC. First, a terrorist takes over the van on Three Girls and a Van. Then, pandemonium breaks out when Uncle Joe thinks he might be a Negro on Uncle Joe's Diner. Then, it's a surprise party and you're all invited: America's First All-Girl Fire Station, home of the Girls in Red. Then, there's trouble for Mickey when the car won't start on prom night on Trouble for Mickey. It all begins at 8 / 7 Central Time, right here.
