* [[As Himself]]: Mel Tormé, a couple of times.
** Then NBC Entertainment president [
* [[Asian Baby Mama]]: [[Double Subversion]] with Quon Le, who didn't become pregnant until after she and Mac were already married. And Mac, in defiance of the standard [[Asian Baby Mama]] trope is a Black American soldier who served in Vietnam.
* [[Attending Your Own Funeral]]: Dan does this after everyone thinks he died when his Army plane crashed in the Arctic.
Line 77:

* [[Directed By Cast Member]]: Several.
** John Larroquette directed 2 episodes.
Line 122:
* [[Heartbroken Badass]]: Harry, several times. But the worst was when his girlfriend Margaret {{spoiler|had to go into witness protection}}.
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: During Season 8, Dan made an honest attempt at becoming a better person after being placed in charge of a charitable organization. It was a slow transformation but by the end of the season he was as nauseatingly cheerful and pure as he used to be sarcastic and sleazy.
* [[Hello, Attorney!]]: Christine Sullivan
** Billie Young before her too.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: [[Star Trek the Next Generation|Brent Spiner]] showed up periodically as Bob, one half of an accident-prone hillbilly couple.
** Ellen Foley, who sang the female lead in "Paradise by the Dashboard Light," played defense attorney Billie Young for a season.

* [[Running Gag]]: Any time that Mel Torme guest-starred he and Judge Stone would spend the entire episode managing to (unintentionally) avoid each other.
Line 232:
** Season 9 ended with Christine being elected to high office, Dan resigning his post to follow after her having realized HIS true love for her and Bull being abducted by aliens.

* [[Sharp
* [[Shirtless Scene]]: Mac had one.
* [[Shoe Shine, Mister?]]: For a little while there's a shoeshine stand that's an important place in the courthouse, with the shiner as a recurring character.
* [[Snowed In]]: ''Twice.''
* [[Something's Different About You Now]]: Happens to Dan in "The Best Of Friends". He takes it very, very badly.
Line 260:
* [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife]]: Averted, Quon Le is more cute than beautiful and Mac is far from bad-looking himself.
* [[We Want Our Jerk Back]]: The cast's reaction to Season 8's Do-Gooder Dan.

* [[What Could Have Been]]: We never did get to see [[30 Rock (TV)|a three-part episode with werewolf lawyer Sparky Monroe]].
* [[The Wonka]]: Harry.
