Wow... After all of these years and the probably 15-20 times I had seen this episode, I just noticed Bill Murray in the wedding scene at the end staring at the "nude" Majel Barrett. (you can also see her coverup at the start of the scene.. lol... What's the scoop on this? Were they dating or something, or was it just a random cameo appearance?

Just blew my mind that I never noticed, and just had to share.. lol..
I haven't seen this episode, so I can't be sure, but the [url=http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Cost_of_Living_(episode)]Star Trek wiki[/url] doesn't mention him, and I can't find a single reference that he's *ever* appeared on TNG. It may just be a guy who looks a bit like him.

Either that or one of his brothers, but while they'd both have been active during that time period neither one is credited with being there.

Most likely it was just some random guy that looked like Bill Murray or just a random walk on.
Hrmm.. I guess it is probably a random guy who looks like him.. Darn... Thought I discovered a new easter egg. :-) Screen shot of the guy is attached.

No way that's Bill Murray, too ugly and craggy even for him.

Although, by the look on his face, the guy 'does' look like he's weighing up the possibilities of giving Lwaxana the Aunt Jemima treatment....

Interesting find, but ...

a) I don't think that's Bill Murray
b) Even if he had been there, the idea of him dating the widow of the show's creator a mere weeks after he died (if I estimate the production dates correctly) might not be the most plausible explanation for it. ;)
Just for fun I put in a shot of the real Bill Murray from Groundhog Day (about the same timeframe) with that guys toupee! :-) Creepy or funny (maybe neither).. I will let you decide.. haha.. :-)

lol, but you really should replace Riker with Bill Murray's brother, also in Ground Hog day.
That is a pretty close look-a-like.

"Stripes" reference FTW!
Yeah right,

The guy got to kiss scarlett johansson, we all know that provides eternal youth.
