A great series, 27 November 2008

Author: (rms125a@hotmail.com) from New York, NY

I remember this series. It was really funny and heart-felt, with two really cute lead actors playing the brothers. some have compared this series to 'Full House' (qv), but if you think about it, it was really a the fore-runner for 'Tow and a Half Men' (qv) - one brother the wild-partying one and the other the staid, devoted parent. It was even funnier than 'Two and a Half Men' with guest stars like a 'Tony Randall' (qv) (who had left California and was lured back by the show's quality) and 'Jack Klugman' (qv) reunion. In a different (unfortunately not the same one as Klugman and Randall) episode, even 'Henry Kissinger' (qv) made an appearance. Naturally the show was canceled.
