In this charming comedy that lives up to its title, Judge Reinhold stars as Joe Gower, a librarian's assistant posing as a police officer and trying to win the heart of a beautiful police officer, Rachel Wareham (Meg Tilly). A complex chain of events is put in place when Joe agrees to help out a good friend who's a policeman by taking his place at an audition for the cop's annual benefit show. Once at the auditions, Joe falls for Rachel, who will be dancing in the benefit. Joe starts hanging out with the choreographer in order to spend more time with Rachel. Unfortunately, this gets him into his borrowed police uniform more than he would like, and soon he's carrying out the duties of a beat cop while wearing his disguise. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

1985  
 
Yvonne Erwin guests as Clair's sister Sarah, who shows up at the Huxtables to announce her engagement. Helpfully, Clair (Phylicia Rashad) and her mother Carrie (Ethel Ayler) volunteer to give Sarah sage advice on married life. Before long, all three women are laughing hysterically--and Cliff (Bill Cosby) is not only annoyed by this, but also by the fact that they abruptly stop laughing the minute he enters the room! Elsewhere, Cliff struggles manfully to beat his father-in-law (played by singer Joe Williams) at chess. A young Mario Van Peebles appears in this episode, which is highlighted by Joe Williams and Phylicia Rashad's soulful rendition of "We Belong Together". ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
