* '''"[[Just the Five of Us]]"''' (Kevin Straley, John Mauceri, Josh Clark, Jene Hillgreen, Shelley Miller) - A parody of such 80's miss-matched family sitcoms like [[wp:Diff'rent Strokes|Diff'rent Strokes]].

[[Jimmy (actor)|Jimmy]], the child-star of the show who claims to be 42, is a strong reference to the star of Diff'rent Strokes, [[wp:Gary Coleman|Gary Coleman]], who remained child-like due to a side effect of his congenital autoimmune kidney disease treatnment.

A drunken Jimmy is interviewed by [[WCTR]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|GTA San Andreas]], the show "[[My Five Uncles]]" having replacing "Just the Five of Us". The show airs Friday nights on VBS. | * '''"[[Just the Five of Us]]"''' (Kevin Straley, John Mauceri, Josh Clark, Jene Hillgreen, Shelley Miller) - A parody of such 80's miss-matched family sitcoms like [[wp:Diff'rent Strokes|Diff'rent Strokes]].
