They show two episodes of this on RTV at 6pm and 6:30pm on Saturdays. The gruff school secretary and the gym teacher are the best... Wasn't Joyce Bulifant a teacher in this as well? I've always found Bill Cosby's low-energy rambles kind of amusing. It's definitely not one of those "Hi! I'm your next-door neighbor and I'm walking into your house without knocking" kind of sitcoms. (Who'd DO that in real life?) Plus, "chet" seems to not have a "steady", but unlike a lot of sitcoms, he's not continually agonizing over it. (It seems all "RoseMarie" did on the Dick van Dyke Show" is complain that "she was unable to snare a man".) Silly me, not having "enough lines" of text. I'm not writing a thesis for my PhD - silly me for wanting to keep things short and sweet.
