This is the reverse of the Triad thread. Thanks to Matthew E for the idea.
The first poster (that'll be me) gives a catagory. The next poster has to fill in three examples. The answering poster does not have to have the same examples as the questioning poster, but should be able to show how the example fits the catagory if questioned. Then the answering poster gets to post the next catagory. The poster who starts the catagory has to be able to provide the three examples if everyone else gets stuck. (so no trying to stump people with an impossible catagory)
First Catagory:
Name three situation comedies in which a new child is introduced after a couple of seasons.

Well, I'm stretching the 'couple' of seasons, but...
- 'The Cosby Show', where Raven-Symone was added after a few years - 'Family Ties', where they had another son named Andrew after a few years - 'Diff'rent Strokes', where Danny Cooksey (as the son of what's-her-name from 'Designing Women') joined after a few years
Name three situation comedies (I know this isn't the all-sitcom thread, but the previous question reminded me of it), all starring the same actor, in which the actor's first name is the same as the character's first name in all three sitcoms. (I actually know of multiple correct ways to answer this question.)
You didn't stretch the "couple" of seasons qualifier. You actually got 2 of the shows I was thinking of. The third one I thought of was the Brady Bunch which introduced the infamous cousin Oliver.
As for your question, I did use the IMDB to Get the names of the series and see if I was right for the number.
One answer would be: 1) Mary Tyler Moore Show as Mary Richards 2) Mary Tyler Moore Hour as Mary McKinnon 3) Mary as Mary Brenner
NEXT: Name three things named after a Norse god (or goddess)

Norse, eh? I'll take the easy ones.
