Anyone remember the hilarious Swoosie Kurtz, Jeff Daniels, and Julie Hagerty 1987 "The Visit" episode of this PBS series?
That episode cracks me up, with its specific type of deranged humour. For a long time, years back, I had the episode saved on tape (as recorded off of t.v.), and watched, and thoroughly enjoyed it, numerous times. I always called that episode "The Visit From Hell". 
Fortunately, "The Visit" can be viewed on YouTube, though unfortunately the posted copy there is very grainy. Still, it's entirely viewable and remains thoroughly enjoyable. Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_CJFSWWy8U
Incidentally, it was the Trying Times series' Season 1 5th episode: https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/29711-trying-times/season/1/episode/5

Nope. I don't even remember the show itself.

That one episode is the only one I specifically remember from the series. It was a series that had a terrific array of guest stars (different cast each episode, as it was an anthology series). I don't recall if I also watched many - or any - other episodes of the series.
I wish I still had the tape of that, as the YouTube copy is decidedly poor.
Actually, I bet I could get my hands on a perfect copy of it, as I remember copying and mailing it to my sister, on VHS, back at the time, when she and her family were living in Germany. That sister saves everything.
