What sitcoms have shown characters attending lamaze classes?
In my spare time I'm trying to write a novel and I want to reference a sitcom which has shown one of their characters attending a lamaze class. It doesn't matter what era the sitcom originally aired.

Friends had a good one where Ross attends with his ex-wife's lesbian partner. Somehow Ross has to play the woman.

Pretty sure that Greg & Dharma had a lamaze story line around Dharma's mother.
Family Ties
Fresh Prince of Bel Air
The Office
Mama's Family
Growing Pains
Living Color
Reba
I seem to recall Frasier's Daphne & Niles going to lamaze classes but I don't remember if I ever saw them in class.

Will and Grace, season 8, ep 21. The TVTropes link is going to be your best bet.

Shelly and Holling attend lamaze classes in Northern Exposure (and Joel teaches a few, too).

Not a sitcom, but Bill Cosby does a memorable Lamaze routine in Himself, which was a standby on HBO for several years in the mid-1980s. (Zuff-whuff-whiff-whuff, PUU-uush, PUU-uush!)

Coupling has a great example of genre though they are attending an anti-natal class rather than a Lamaze class.

Susan: Yes.
Steve: Pain for which relief will be offered...
Susan: Yes.
Steve: But which, apparently, you won't want...
Susan: Yes.
Steve: This is not an intelligence test that anyone should fail!
RENO 911 has lots of lamaze classes with the adorable Paul Rudd -- but they might not be that realistic.

The very first sitcom to do this was The Odd Couple. In 1971.

In Boy Meets World, Eric goes to a lamaze class with his mom (and then I think their dad goes to one later in the episode).
