User Reviews

Pretty decent show

Granted, I was about 10 when the show debuted, but I really have fond memories of it. Don't get me wrong, this was not in my top ten of the late 80s/early 90s or anything, but I remember enjoying it and it would be on the semi-shortlist of shows not available on DVD or streaming media (which covers most of the major or semi-major hits of the era) that I'd like to have a second go of watching. If you liked Golden Girls and Empty Nest (or even Golden Palace) you'd probably enjoy this show. Not necessarily a classic or entirely overlooked gem, but a better than average sitcom of the era. And, having recently caught David Rasche on reruns of Sledge Hammer! I had some nostalgia remembering when he was brought on this show. I was too young to remember Sledge Hammer! when it was originally run, but looking back, I assume he was brought on to give this show a shot in the arm in the second season that probably earned it a third before its eventual cancellation.
