finally rewatching after nearly 20 years!


i just bought the box set and the memories are flooding back. this show is true comedy gold! there are very few shows i watch where i can not contain my laughter, this had me in stitches! this has what a lot of sitcoms lack these days, slapstick comedy, witty and clever dialogue and almost perfect casting. john lithgow and jane curtain are so hilarious, he really does steal the show! when mary is humped by that dog, i cried. so hard.

Lithgow is a genius. This show will remain my favorite for all time.

reply

Does the box set have any extras, bonus, deleted scenes, commentaries?

reply

absolutely! some bloopers, interviews and some commentaries. but the series alone is worth buying the box set.

reply

It's on Netflix. I just discovered it there and am also enjoying.

reply

Same here, I watched the first few episodes and I'm hooked. It's a fun show with great characters and a lot of zaniness. John Lithgow is ridiculously funny too!

reply

I remember watching this show when it first aired. I knew it was going to be my type of screwball comedy when, in the opening credits, you saw the planet using its rings as a hula hoop hahahaha

reply

Same! Just watching it for the first time since it aired. Almost done the first season, and I have laughed out loud so many times. Dick's over the top's acting is hilarious.

reply

Im rewatching it too. Started last weeked. My face and throat hurt so much from lauhing and smiling. Its been too long! He he... What happened to shows like these? Im also discovering older shows and am loving them.



Everyone sees what you appear to be, few experience what you really are.

Dick and Jane have mad chemistry. Very well acted. I love Harry as the strange side kick and Sally trying to figure out what it means to be a female human. She is very believable as a warrior turned woman.
