Show graphics command

The list operations have been very useful.

Here's a pet peeve.  Often when I combine several graphics objects with
the show command I get a bunch of extraneous plots.  Suppose I have a list
of {x,y} pairs (named "data") and a fit function f[x] and I want to show
them together.  The easiest way to do this is with the command,

Show[ListPlot[data],Plot[f[x],{x,0,Xo}]

When I execute this I get 3 plots, ListPlot[data], the Plot[f[x]], and
then the tro combined.  How can I have the front end suppress the first
two plots?  (this "error" is especially annoying when I'm plotting 7 or 8
lists together)
