Princesses
Princesses is a short-lived American situation comedy that aired on CBS in 1991. The series was produced by Universal Television and only lasted five episodes because of low ratings, likely due to direct competition from ABC's Top 30 hit Family Matters and NBC's Top 40 show Matlock. The series also aired in Germany on RTL in 2004. The series theme song, "Someday My Prince Will Come" was written by Frank Churchill and Larry Morey, and was sung by The Roches.

One for her and one for Murray Lieberman, a dentist who works in the same office as Debra's husband, Len. Melissa hates blind dates (and her sister) and doesn't want to commit to an evening with someone she hasn't seen.

Unfortunately, Murray already has a girlfriend, and is going with her -- and Melissa needs to have a plaque scraping. Melissa assumes that Murray's nurse, Shannon, is his girlfriend, but when she makes small talk with Shannon, she finds out some good gossip to destroy her sister with: Shannon is having an affair with Len.
