    great show
    I am suprised that no one has commented on this great show. Bob was a key person in my youth and I loved this show. Our generation needs to band together and pull for good programming like this for our kids. Hell, i thought the cosby kids were racy when they came out. Lets stop leaving decisions to the big wheel generation (I was too big by the time they came out) and let these kids know what good tv was and is. I met Bob in an airport when I was a kid and it is one of the few standout memories I have from my childhood. I am sorry to see there are no other posts here. Hopefully the future will hold more.
