Yep.
I have only one question on that. Is Courteney as beautiful in real life with no makeup or professional lighting ect as she looks on the TV and in the movies?
Nobody looks like they look on tv. I have met many famous people, sometimes by accident, sometimes when I go to a sigining or a special show.
But she still is good looking, I did see her once with only the basic make up on, and she still looked fantastic, but most of all, she is a very nice and pleasant person to meet.
And I have met her face to face, and shook her hand before.
I think they've been loosening up that "dull down" that they've done in the past. Either that or she is just looking better on her own--as if anyone would have thought it possible.
Well, the person who told me that about Courteney was Marita Bakken, who saw 821 "TOW the Cooking Class" being filmed. Do you reckon that Monica has suddenly become (sigh) even lovelier since then?
Btw, I was up VERY early Friday morning and discovered that "Family Ties" is airing the "Loren episodes" these days with CCA (just CC at the time). For anyone who has access, it might be worth setting the VCR once for 5AM ET. If you want two episodes, just leave the VCR on for an hour. They are running consecutive episodes, back-to-back.
Next week they have episode numbers #155 through #168. I don't recall for sure, but I think there were only 170+. So, next week they might air the finale. The finale was a two-parter with CC and Jane Adams (Mel, Niles second wife, from "Frasier".)
Just for you, here is a guide to their last two seasons. An asterisk by the title indicates that Courteney Cox appears as Lauren Miller...

Niles didn't marry Mel, did he? <checks back> Oh, he did. That episode must have been forgettable...
It depends on how you count it, but if you are counting syndication that would be correct. There was a handful of episodes that the studio produced, but they were not accepted by the network, and therefore never aired during the first run.
I think you are missing the asterisk on the second half of the two-part finale. In the beginning of the first part, Loren goes away to a conference. She only appears in the very beginning of the ep. In the second half, she returns and tries to work on personal issues with Alex, but he explains that he is interested in another woman, Marty (Jane Adams.) They break up in the end, but he doesn't get together with Marty either.
In fact, it was part of the build up to Daphne's wedding to Donnie, Niles divorce attorney at the end of a recent season, 2000 perhaps? He went off to the country with Mel just days before the wedding, and, on the advice of Frasier, did something a little wild and impulsive. In the season finale that year, Daphne ends up leaving Donnie at the altar, and runs off with Niles. In the next season's opener we discover that they can only get as far as the end of the driveway before deciding to return and face the music. Mel forces Niles to carry on as if they were still married until she can devise a way to save face with her society friends. The charade continued through much of the next season.
Indeed so, but they're still proper "Family Ties" episodes, which were aired. Also there was a TV movie, which is counted as four episodes.

That's not the finale, but 719/720 "They Can't Take That Away From Me".
722/723 "Wrap Around the Clock" is a clip show; then CC last appears in the first half of the finale 725 "Alex Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1)", in which Alex shares some final moments with Nick, Skippy and Lauren.
Ah, well, it wasn't very high-brow, but it had a good following. It aired in the 80's and featured a teen-aged Michael J. Fox as Alex P. Keaton. After his character's long-term girlfriend, played by Tracy Pollan (who later became his real-life wife), left the show, he floundered in the dating world until meeting Lauren Miller (CC). The characters dated for two years.
In the show's finale episode, which culminates in Alex's college graduation ceremony, he meets another woman, Marty Brodie, played by Jane Adams (Mel from Frasier), who makes him realize that the relationship with Lauren has run its course. He breaks off entanglements with both women.
So, CCA had a rather significant television role from 1987-1989.
