I think there should be one that reads something like, #15. (nearly?) Every teenage male sitcom star will pose as a girl at least once before the show is cancelled, and no matter how obvious or rediculous he looks he will still fool his closest friends, even if he has to follow the girls into the locker room. What's more, when found out he will be quickly forgiven.

The teenage part might be omitted, but then it would have to read "a certain percentage of all male sitcom stars" I suppose.

Easy to come up with examples, from Silver Spoons to Saved By The Bell to Roseanne (a halloween episode where the kid playing DJ played a young Roseanne) to whatever that show was with Fred Savage's little brother in it (have never seen that ep). They don't *all* do it, but I bet the idea is tossed about by the writers sooner or later in all of them. Can you name more examples?
