Patty (played by former Broadway Annie Sarah Jessica Parker) and Muffy (played by future billionaire and Atlanta Hawks owner Jami Gertz) are chosen to represent Weemawee on local TV quiz show "It's Academical!" It's funny that they specifically reference "It's Academic," but Martin Mull is a much slicker host than Mac McGarry, also hosting the local "Teen Rap" show (DC's version of that kind of show was Channel 9's "Pick Up the Beat" - I loved the little vignettes they showed at the beginning of the show to introduce that episode's topic). Other '80s shows with quiz show appearances include "Family Ties" (Mallory becomes the star player when Alex gets stage fright on camera) and pretty much every episode of "Head of the Class."
