Any Questions #612: "Name That TV Series"

Last week's challenge

THIS WEEK'S CATEGORY: NAME THAT TELEVISION SERIES
On-air questions: OK, Ian: the new fall television season is in full swing, which means the debut of new series and the return of old favorites. With so many shows out there now, it’s sometimes hard to remember the names of some of them. This week, you’ll need to know names for two reasons: I’ll give you three episodes of a television series with the name of a main character (either a first name or a last name) in its title and you tell me which series it is.

1. “Morticia and the Psychiatrist”, “Lurch Learns to Dance”, “Thing Is Missing”
2. “Witness”, “Wexler v. Goodman”, “Breaking Bad”
3. "Thank You and Good Night", "It's Comedy or Cabbage", "A Jewish Girl Walks into The Apollo…"
4. “Dear Emily and Richard”, “Like Mother, Like Daughter”, “Luke Can See Her Face”
5. “A Touch of Class”, “The Hotel Inspectors”, “Basil the Rat”
 
Extra credit
1. "One Flew Over Milwaukee", "We're In The Army Now", "The Road to Burbank"
2. “The Kids are Alright”, “The Te of Pacey”, “Two Gentlemen of Capeside”
