Did anyone else notice that the Monica plot was stolen from The Good Life?

I haven't seen that series (or is it a movie?) but if it was it wouldn't be the first time some plot or some lines were "borrowed" from some other show. Hell, what can we expect after 200 episodes they can run out of fresh ideas.

Oh, I know that. But The Good Life is a pretty unusual source for an American sitcom (someone must have been watching A&E or PBS). In The Good Life, an English couple played by Felicity Kendal and Richard Briers decide to adopt self-sufficiency as a way of life. So they dig up the garden of their suburban home, much to the dismay of their genteel, middle-class neighbors (Paul Eddington and Penelope Keith). In the episode I'm thinking of, which was fairly late on in the show's run, Kendal agrees to give a talk on self-sufficiency at a prison -- and wears a see-through dress. They hang on her every word, afraid that if they make a sound she'll move.)
