Cheers - didn't understand it :sleep2:
The Cosby Show - was OK; don't catch the reruns
Diff'rent Strokes - somewhere between "was OK" and "liked it"
The Facts of Life - doesn't hold a candle to the Strokes
Growing Pains - only like the B. J. Thomas episodes
Head of the Class - was OK (good to see Howard Hesseman aka Dr. Johnny Fever!)
The Hogan Family - was OK; don't catch reruns
The New Leave It To Beaver - haven't seen it but would love to
Perfect Strangers - LOVED IT!!!

It wasn't really a sitcom...not really sure what you would call it but "You can't do that on television" was the best show in the 80's...does any one remember it?

F.Ties specificially because of what Michael J.Fox brought to the show same for night court with John Larroquette.P.Strangers with Mark linn baker and Bronson pinchot.B.Buddies because of T.Hanks and peter Scolari.The plots of these shows some more memorable then others but the actors who brought the shows alive and made them fun is what I remembered.I hated mama's family more then my dad who was on it and directed them.I hated the way eunice and mama use to slap around ed all the time at least he worked and had vision.I hated the family sketch on the Burnett show.I did love the people though-Vickie,K.Berry,B,White and of course Carol and my dad Harvey Korman.

harper
03-26-2003, 10:02 AM
Mary Tyler Moore Show-T.Knight and B.White.Dick Van Dyke Show-D.V.D.Seinfeld-Seinfeld and jason Alexander.Mash-M.Farrell and Mclean Stevenson and Alan Alda.Will &.Grace.For the writing and for D.Messing and Eric McCormack.Frasier-The reason it went as far as it did the writing and David Hyde pierce bar None!.B.Newhart Show-B.Newhart,S.Pleshette,J.Riley.B.Daily.
All in The Family-Carroll O'Connor,N.Lear.Good morning Miami-M.Feuerstein/S.Pleshette/J.Burns.Carol Burnett Show-C.B.Harvey Korman especially Korman because he's my dad.F.Troop-K.Berry/J/Hampton.F.Ties-M.J.Fox.N.Court-J.Larroquette/Karen Austin.The John Larroquette Show-J.Larroquette/D.Mitchell.Chi Mcbride/A.Laplaca.Duet-Chris Lemmon.Mary Page Keller.A.Laplaca.
Sledge Hammer-David Rasche Engough Said.Perfect Strangers them chemistry of B.Pinchot and Mark Linn baker made that show great.

harper
03-26-2003, 10:20 AM
Eric McCormack is the reason why I love the show and his chemistry with D.Messing.K.and Jack to much.Jack and karen are 1 note jokes and sometimes they talk so fast you miss the line reading and miss the whole set up of the scene.I think the baby scenario brought some depthed to the show.It will always be a comedy but bringing real moments of adversity between will and Grace and how they inneract is what makes the show great.Bring back Sydney Pollack.!Bring back G.Hines.GEt Gene Wilder to do another Cameo!J.Burrows and the writing staff have without a doubt the best writing of any show/drama or comedy the best cast and the best director-J.Burrows-Bar None-

My least fav-Mama's family for entirely a personal reason-The people on the Show are great-loving people.K.Berry,V.Lawrence,B.White.C.Burnett My dad Harvey Korman made the show funny.The show itself was again a 1,concept theme mama yells at everyone then makes up.V.Lawrence however did bring pathos,compassion and warmth to that character.The show was fun because of the rehearsal process and the staff meeting during the taping.The family unit that Joe Hamilton brought to the show and his staff.The lifelong connections I have made because of that show.I miss them all B.White was terrific in Bringing down the House.Ken Berry I miss his dancing and sweetness and humble ways.
