I haven't seen this show for years. Its on TV Land now. I still remember this show after so many years. I still remember the theme song. I still remember Inga/Gretchen Krause! (I don't remember her being German, though) I still remember her hairdo from the early episodes.

I remember only two Characters. Benson and Gretchen.

I remember only one episode. I think Benson and someone else were in the basement when there was a big flash of light or something. When they went upstairs they found that everybody had been turned into dust or something. What episode was this? Thanks.

It's funny, I loved this show growing up, hadn't seen a single episode in at least 13 years. I caught it by accident on tv land and all of a sudden all these memories started flashing back of episodes I saw during the original run.

Anyway, couldn't say for certain which episode you are referring to, don't really remember that scene. But I do recall an episode where they were having a day long nuclear fallout drill, might have been that one.

The episode was "Last Man on Earth" (season 7). After talking about Hailey's Comet, Kraus has a dream that she and Benson were the only survivors on Earth.

I taped this episode. I don't remember most of it. I just remember the flash of light in the basement, and them finding the people turned to dust. And how in the end it was just a dream.

I had forgotten it was about Halley's Comet!
