Vacation...Gotta To Get Away!

Often, sitcoms take a break, and go on vacation (almost always, these episodes are filmed on location). Name the TV series that match the descriptions of each of these vacations.

1. Grand Canyon

That would be the Brady Bunch, and they were bothered by an old prospector who looked alot like the boss that Mr. Brady had in a couple of later episodes :p

2. Paris, where one of the family falls for a runaway princess.
3. Cruise for Disney commercial.

I want to say that was Step By Step, but I'm not possitive.

4. Relative’s dude ranch

Hasn't every show done that? I'm pretty sure Happy Days did that so I'll say that.

5. Atlantic City for a business trip
6. California for a screen test

Diff'rent Strokes

7. Mypos

Isn't that kind of a givaway that it's Perfect Strangers...unless it was some sort of Bizarre Crossover with another show

8. London for a wedding.

That would be Friends

9. Spain for the running of the bulls
10. Hawaii, where they run afoul of Professor Whitehead.

I'll say Brady Bunch becase I know they went to Hawaii

11. Hawaii, but some bad steering leaves the family seemingly lost.

I'll say Brady Bunch because I know it'll be right for one of these two

12. Cruise for a relative’s wdding.
13. England, to remove a curse.

Married...With Children....I almost said Empty Nest, but that was for a family funeral or something, not a curse removal

14. Russia for a trivia contest.

Head of the Class, that was a good episode too.

15. California, including a taping of a TV series!

Hmmm, Maybe this one was that Diff'rent Strokes episode I remember that I answered for the earlier question...well I think one of them may be right

16. Mexico, causing a character to lose his/her job
17. Italy, where a character falls for an Italian girl.
18. Hawaii, even though almost no one really wanted to go there.

Why would no one want to go to Hawaii? I'll say Brady Bunch again, because it's got to be one of the Hawaii ones.

19. Problems with spies in London.
20. Problems with jewel thieves in Australia

Was that the Facts of Life TV movie thing in Austrailia? There were some sort of theives in that one.

Good luck, and have fun! :)
