    Great family entertainment!!!

    This was, in my opinion, one of the best sitcoms of the 1980s. It was funny, yet serious at the same time. It showed how families come in all shapes, sizes, and in this case, colors. I still enjoy watching these reruns whenever I can.

    Good show

    I used to watch this show when I was a little girl. Although I don't remember much about it, I must say that it was a pretty good show. Also, I don't think I've seen every episode. However, if you ask me, it was still a good show. In addition, I don't remember the theme song. Everyone was ideally cast, the costume design was great. The performances were top-grade, too. I just hope some network brings this series back one day so that I'll be able to see every episode. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that I'll always remember this show in my memory forever, even though I don't think I've seen every episode. Now, in conclusion, when and if this show is ever brought back on the air, I hope that you catch it one day before it goes off the air for good.

    Deserves More Love

    I used to love "Webster"!! Emmanuel Lewis and Gary Coleman were the two shortest and funniest kids on T.V. (of course Gary Coleman was on "Diff'rent Strokes"). I didn't know how Webster ended up with two white parents and I didn't much care. My tastes and mentality wasn't sophisticated back then, heck! I was only eleven when this show stopped airing. "Webster" deserves far more love than it's getting.

    Another fun little family sitcom.

    This is another sitcom I've watched when I was a kid. It's a nice, heartfelt show about couple George and Katherine Papadapolis who adopts a little boy that was the son of a former teammate of George's. The three together go through the ups and downs in life.

    It's a funny little show full of life lessons, comedy and heartfelt moments and a little bit of drama as well. There's good acting for the most part.

    I don't remember most of the show, but I did enjoy it as a little kid for the most part. And, it's full of innocence and family-oriented fare.
