Snow White Charming: Why?
Sally Miller: It's what they call male bonding.
Snow White Charming: Well, Eric will just have to bond another time because he told me he's coming to my meeting.

Snow White Charming: Trust me!

User Reviews

Very notable, especially for the fresh idea

I was very fond of this show, especially as it seemed a pretty fresh spin on your standard cheesy American family sitcom. I think this is more in line with the early 60s and 70s comedy like I DREAM OF JEANNIE, MY FAVORITE MARTIAN, and WHEN THINGS WERE ROTTEN, when television comedy seemed to have more imaginative storylines and less social moralising ("Not that there's anything wrong with that!").
