@Mprator, UofLCardFan08, and slydog221. They weren't referring to the President at the time the show aired but to a president who had previously been an actor: Ronald Reagan. He was an actor for many years before becoming the governor of California and then President.
@OTHbabe23 "Future Backstreet Boy A. J. McLean was originally cast as Sidney "Skunk" Duff and was replaced by Eric Kushnick. The pilot was then re-shot with the different actors and aired." So that was not him.
Gale Gordon looks much younger here than he did on "Life with Lucy", which was Lucille Ball's last sitcom, from 1986. This is from 1991. He looks almost like he did when he actually played Mr. Mooney, on "The Lucy Show", which he co-starred in from 1963-1968.
@JaTraLu This and "Dinosaurs" back in the early 90's would be a good upload. Remember that show where the father was supposed to resemble a Fred Flinstone, and everyone loved "the baby?"
This was virtually Gale Gordon's last TV appearance (he came out of retirement to appear as "Mr. Mooney" just once more, for this occasion); he passed away four years later, in 1995.
Way before it's time! Why must Hollywood and Network TV keep remaking things that are already awesome and then proceed to ruin them? Why not take good idea's that were originally horribly produced, and remake those? Imagine this show's concept was on HBO in present time, with David Cross, Louis CK, Bill Burr, Lisa Lampanelli, Tim Stack, and a whole bunch of other awesome ass comedians. It would be AMAZEING!
This show was FUCKING terrible then, and it's even more FUCKING terrible now. I'm still shocked it even lasted a season. It should've never made it past the first pilot. It's so half-baked and lame.
And it was really strange with some of the jokes. It was shown on Nickelodeon making jokes about condoms? Then there was the episode about sex education?!!! WTF?
Somebody at Nick f'ed up by allowing this on, and ABC f'ed up by running it. This is one of the strangest (dumb) ideas ever.
I've been looking for this show for a while now. It was a great concept that preceeded that huge wave of nostalgic sitcom remakes. I'm convinced if it had come just a couple of years later, it would have been a hit. The performances were a little weak but the concept was great. I'd never seen this episode before - the premier I guess. I almost get the impression Mike wanted to give Honey a happy ending!
i so remember this show! i always wondered what happen to it! think i was like 7 when it was on, but i loved it! please post more episodes if you have them! thanks for posting this one!!! :)
Geeze, I've never lost memory of this show even though it lasted only a season. Was this show so bad that none of these actors ever got another gig? I've never seen any of them since this show aired. They'll never put these kinda shows out on dvd no matter how much people like myself would buy em. I want the old series from the 80's also known as "Tales of the Golden Monkey". Ahhhhh!!! Course the blonde daughter in this series is hot. I like that 50's get up. Grrrrrrroooowllllll...
This show was on when I was in the 7th grade. I was really into classic sitcoms at the time, and I was such a dork that I created a "database" of each episode's special guest star.
Does anyone remember the teen dude from a PSA about tinnitus?
Ah, man. I'm having flashbacks to fourth grade. I didn't go to bed on Sunday nights until I watched this. Please upload some more episodes or clips. Thanks.
I'm the opposite! I used to hate this show with a passion when i was a kid, but now watching it, i actually laughed, its such a silly show with an interesting concept. haha
I think this show is even MORE necessary for a remake in the 15+ years it debuted and failed. Just think at the inventions (TiVo, iPods, the Internet, etc.) and cultural events (OJ Simpson, Nipplegate, Britney Spears). Wow, 14:12 pilot?
hahaha Nice little dig at Ted Turner, colorizing the world. :p This show needs a DVD release. Not people taping episodes and burning them to blank DVD.
No it's not. AJ played Skunk only in the pilot. He later got replaced by a nephew of either the director or the producer, so he didn't even make it onto the "proper" season.
The pilot was then re-shot with the different actors and aired. The original pilot went unaired until Nickelodeon's 20th anniversary "Best of Nickelodeon" marathon. The original pilot aired on Nickelodeon on June 27, 1999
In the series' pilot, two different actors were initially cast in two roles and were later recast for subsequent episodes. Actress Dee Hoty was originally cast as Elaine Duff, but replaced by Susan Cella. Future Backstreet Boy A. J. McLean was originally cast as Sidney "Skunk" Duff and was replaced by Eric Kushnick.
I was a big fan of this show too! I must of been experiencing the "perfertworld" syndrome...Too bad that world only exists on television... Thanxs for the upload!
LMAOOOOOOO , that is the STUPIDEST ending theme i've ever heard !
