Question: My family is having ...

Question: My family is having the biggest argument ever about an actress who appeared on a rerun show of The District. The original show aired Feb.10, 2001, an episode called "Rage Against the Machine." To phrase it as one simple question: Did the same actress that appeared as Major Dad's wife guest star in this episode? Your help with this question will be greatly appreciated. There's 100 bucks riding on it, and I want to go shopping! Thanks. — Melody Televisionary: Well, I'd just be tickled pink if I could tell you to fire up the car and zoom off to the mall, Melody, but I'm not sure which side you took in this disagreement.

Being in the right means arguing that Shanna Reed, who played Polly Cooper MacGillis, wife to Major John "Mac" MacGillis (Gerald McRaney) during the 1989-93 run of the CBS sitcom, was nowhere near the June 23 rebroadcast of the hit CBS drama. You didn't specify which guest actress you guys are battling over, mind you, but I'm betting it was either Melinda McGraw, who played the TV reporter following Chief Jack Mannion (Craig T. Nelson), or Anne-Marie Johnson (JAG, In the Heat of the Night), who portrayed the social worker in the episode.
