Princesses (1991)
Synopsis
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.

Ep. 1: Pilot
Tracy and Melissa have a teary farewell the day before Tracy's marriage. Tracy's fiancé, Michael, surprises her with a wedding gift fit for a princess -- a luxurious Manhattan penthouse that his friend, Tony, is loaning to him for a year. Michael leaves Tracy and Melissa alone to explore the place for themselves, and they discover that it comes with strings attached -- Princess Georgy of Cilly has already taken up residence, as Tony absent-mindedly loaned it to her, too. Georgy's prince husband died, his children are contesting the will, and she has no money. Melissa wants to kick her out, but Tracy takes pity on her, invites her to her wedding, and decides to go to Michael's office to try to track down Tony.

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. Tracy and Georgy convince her to make an appointment with Murray, so he can check out her gums... and she can check out him. Melissa finds Murray so attractive that she puts aside her reservations and invites him to the ball, just like Debra wanted. 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.
