Mentions of Stevie in tv shows

I remember in an episode of the Tony Danza sitcom, "Who's the Boss", Angela came home from work and said something like

Angela: "we're thinking of putting Stevie on the cover"
Mona: "Stevie who?"
Angela: "Nicks!"

or something like that. Anyone else remember this? Can anyone name other mentions of Stevie in sitcoms/tv shows?

I know there have been a few mentions on TV shows, however I like the part in "School of Rock" where Edge of 17 is playing and being acted out by Jack Black. Just can't remember any sitcom mentions at the moment.

The first episode of Will & Grace.

Will: Did you get that black flowy thing?
Grace: No, you were right. It's too "Stevie Nicks: The Heavy Years".

There was also another episode where Will references Fleetwood Mac. I don't remember the exact quote, but Will finds out his parents are both having affairs and he says something like, "all of the sudden my parents are Fleetwood Mac!"

There's a section on Stevie's website called 'Scene & Heard' or whatever that mentions stuff like this. I can't think of anything right now but if this was a Madonna board, you could have really fun! I don't know how many TV Shows or Films that I've heard her name pop up!

On One Life To Live a few years ago a young teen playing the piano was asked by an adult if he knew who Madonna was. His answer: Yeah. You mean the old lady who kissed Britney?

Obviously, on Glee there were quite a few mentions between the episode with Landslide and the Rumours ep. But aside from that, in the first season Kurt said, "My Power Rangers got married and divorced in so many combinations, they were like Fleetwood Mac."

In the movie Sid & Nancy..
Nancy: AAGGHH! I look like f*ckin' Stevie Nicks in hippie clothes!

On How I Met Your Mother, John Lithgow (as Barney's long-lost father) is explaining his horrible regrets about life as a roadie and how the Rock lifestyle kept him from being a good dad, when Barney interrupts, "You ever bang Stevie Nicks?"

I remember watching a rerun of One Day At A Time a few years ago and Barbara (Valerie Bertinelli) was talking about getting her hair permed like Stevie Nicks "but how she used to have it, not now" I figured she must have been referring to Mirage area (gypsy/hold me videos) and not the rock a little era (i can't wait video).

I think there was a Simpsons where Homer has a To-Do list where "Sleep with Stevie Nicks" is crossed off. (Correct me if I'm mixed up on this.)

On Dharma and Greg, Dharma looks at her hippie mom's outfit & says "Thunder only happens when it's raining."

On SNL, on the night when Madonna appears in a dream sequence, Wayne & Garth list the hottest rock chicks ever to be on the show & Stevie is #3 as "the reigning gypsy queen" or something like that.

Also, on SNL was the Lucy Lawless "Fajita Round-up" sketch, which I suspect every Ledgie knows by heart.

Can't think of any others right now.

This site has all kinds of info:

In 2001, The HBO drama series Six Feet Under had a scene in one episode where Nate Fisher purchases hydroponic raspberries that he claims were "grown by a guy named Gunter who once slept with Stevie Nicks". (In a later scene, Claire opened the fridge and asked, "Do we have any more of those Stevie Nicks raspberries?")

In the episode "Osama Bin Laden Has Farty Pants" of South Park a goat is mistaken for her when she and Fleetwood Mac are scheduled to perform in Afghanistan for U.S. soldiers.

In the 2003 version of the Disney film Freaky Friday, the mother character (Jamie Lee Curtis) exclaims at one point when she is wearing her daughter's (Lindsay Lohan) clothes, "I look like Stevie Nicks!" (prompting the response from her daughter, "Who's he?").

Stevie is mentioned in two different episodes of The Simpsons. The first is during a Halloween special in which Mr. Burns comments that Lisa's character possesses "more wicked witchery than Stevie Nicks." The second is when Homer is in bed one morning, and consults his to - do list; two of the four items on the list are "See Stevie Nicks naked". (Jake, I think you're right in that it was crossed off.)

Oh, it's checked off. Not once but three times.

I was watching an episode of the 1990's series 'Blossom' & it's the one when Blossom is in Paris and the guy she's hanging with asked her about her boyfriend and she said they were "On & Off" and the guy says "Like Fleetwood Mac"?

I'm not sure of exact details, but there was some other episode, too, where Schneider was dating someone, a much younger woman. She said something to Barbara (or Barbara said it to her) about wanting her hair like Stevie's haircut on the Rumours album. Then Schneider asked why she'd want to get her hair cut like a boy's. Then she had to inform him that Stevie Nicks was a girl!!

OMG, when I first saw this thread this was the first thing I thought of. And at the time I saw the movie (I was in college) I was only familiar with Stevie's solo stuff and I thought to myself, that can't be right. Was Stevie around in 1979 and why would she be wearing hippie clothes? LOL!

This might've been talked about because it originally aired in 2009, but it's new to me.

So, I'm flipping through channels and find Bette midler on Kathy Griffin: My Life On The D-List. Kathy is trying to persuade Bette to vote for Kathy to receive a Grammy for Best Comedy Album. Bette tells her she is not part of the academy but Bette says "How about I call Stevie Nicks?" And surer than ****, she picks up the phone and now they're talking to Stevie on speaker phone!

Stevie tells Kathy Griffin she is her fave, lol.
