...from around 1984 called Double Trouble? Focusing on twins, it was basically a Patty Duke Show for the '80s. No one's going to claim it's any kind of lost classic, but one or two sequences do maintain a warm spot in the hearts of those of us who were just the right age when we saw them.
Like this one, for example.
God help me, I still remember the plot of this episode: The two girls each enter a dance contest which is to be broadcast on local television.
When one of the sisters--the "mischevious" one--suffers an accident and cannot perform, her twin--the "well-behaved" one--dances the other's somewhat raunchy routine (remember, this is 1984) under her sister's name:
The twins were played by Jean & Liz Sagal, who in real life are the younger sisters of Katey Sagal of Futurama & Married with Children fame. I think that's Liz dancing in the clip above.
Both continue to work in television, but have moved behind the camera as a writer (Liz) and director (Jean).
