In Grace and Frankie on Netflix, Episode 2 of Season 2 is titled, "The Vitamix."
The very talented actress Rita Moreno makes a guest appearance.
Grace and Frankie go to Grace's ex-husband's house to get things for Frankie's ex-husband who is now married to Grace's ex-husband... The married husbands are at the hospital because one had a heart attack, so the ladies are helping them out.
(During the process, Frankie questions a couple of times why they are doing nice things for their ex-husbands who left them and "ruined their lives.")
Anyway, the two characters, played by Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, come in the door, and shortly the door opens again and the Rita Moreno character puts her head in and wants to know what's going on.
Frankie asks her, "Are you Gladys Kravitz?" - a Bewitched reference.
Gladys Kravitz was the nosy neighbor who lived across the street from Samantha and Darrin Stephens. Mrs. Kravitz would accidentally witness some witchly magic and call out to her husband at home, "Abner! Abner!" and breathlessly tell him about it.
Then when Abner would go to the window and look, the weird thing would be gone.
At the beginning of the Grace-Frankie episode, credits appear on the screen - "Directed by Rebecca Asher."
That's the daughter of Elizabeth Montgomery and William Asher.
Small world in Show Business.
