The "elevator baby" episode history goes back at least as far as the old "All in the Family"/"Archie Bunker's Place" shows in the 70s. It usually comes after the "An 'Old Flame' returns" and "Mistaken for Gay" episodes. Oh, I really LIKE your “elevator baby” nomenclature.

We would star as ourselves it had a generic title like "Out of Control", and each episode would be one of the great sitcom cliches. We'd have the episode where the out of town relative would think that one of us was some important bigshot and we'd have to try and make it appear if that was the reality. We'd have the bowling alley episode and the one about the misheard medical diagnosis. We had the trivial argument that spirals into a case in court and the Halloween party where everybody is in a professionally made costume (and no two costumes are the same!). I know we came up with a season's worth of episodes (and I mean 26+). We even had two Christmas episodes: the "Scrooge" AND the "It's a Wonderful Life", although I can't recall which of us was which.

I love Ugly Betty, but it is becoming an odd dichotomy of completely far-fetched twists and elevator baby predictability. I want to try to jump on board with this one.
