We Got It Made 1983 NBC TV Show Intro

[Anarchist86ed]

this stinks of the 80's.

[stolte95]

Another one of Fred Silverman's flops.

[Tubewings]

@stolte95 Actually, this came out after Silverman left NBC and was replaced by Brandon Tartikoff.

[thesafekind]

@Tubewings Yeah, but Silverman produced this himself, independently. Then he brought it to NBC and they bought it.

[Tubewings]

@thesafekind Ah...

But it makes me wonder why NBC would approve of this show considering that he almost killed the network during his tenure there.

Thankfully, Silverman would redeem himself with the Perry Mason TV movies, Matlock, In the Heat of the Night, etcetera.

0:08 Tit Wacher $5.25/hr, no benefits. I'll take it!

[LiamForeman]

I remember watching this. I've totally forgotten the premise and plotlines, but I used to know the opening song. Too funny.

[TheOusooner56]

what an absolute piece of junk! AWFUL!

[nanlisa]

I was in L.A. back then.

[adric137]

i like the show, i watched it

[jhc1971]

80's televison sucked ass

[VaultMasterDBT]

Uh, no it didn't. You can't say any decade's television as a whole sucked..as in any era, you had your good and bad. Think about that.

[Attmay]

Those freeze frames look like driver's license pictures. This theme song is the funniest thing about this show.

[nuts4clara]

Thanks for posting this long-forgotten show that I used to watch in the early '80s, when I was in junior high. Haven't seen it since it originally aired at that time. And actress Teri Copley was a cutie-pie before she quit the business and became a born-again Christian.

[archdeluxe696]

Tom Villard and Bonnie Urseth? Man, I miss the early 80s when any average-looking schmoe could get a tv gig. I felt so high and mighty!

[Stablemable2]

Stephanie Kramer!!?

Really?

[NewMountain3]

Is that Canadian?

[auntbecky]

@NewMountain3 Nope, it was an NBC show.

[mattyhag1]

Terri Copley looks like a million bucks, though.

[kperry603]

Should've been "We Got It Maid."

[kperry603]

This theme is so refreshingly, early 1980-something cheesy!

[ivegotalongdong]

"Tom Villard" - was gay. died of 'dickitis". this show was terrible. cheap knock-off of "THree's Company"..at least another attempt to have a show with a jiggling blonde. wasn't terri copley married to tom wopat?

[smartbunny]

@ivegotalongdong It's clear that you're the one with dickitis.

[ivegotalongdong]

@smartbunny

oh great come back! best your liberal-educated mind could do?

[smartbunny]

@ivegotalongdong Um, what? You said a rude stupid thing and now you're mad at me? You're kind of an idiot. And my remark was hilarious. So screw off.

[auntbecky]

@ivegotalongdong why? because they won't take any of your homophobic, fake news believing crap?

[CineGMitchell]

@smartbunny Bulletstorm!!!!

[14DaveHunter]

@ivegotalongdong Chistopher Mayer, who played Vance Duke.

[14DaveHunter]

A good show that never caught on. Sad to learn Tom Villard died at 40. He and Stephanie Kramer reunited on a episode of "HUNTER". He played a physcic, who helped catch a killer.

[001GenLee]

I wish shows were simple like back then...unfortunately they're not. :( N e one got a time machine so i can go back?, i wanna go back! lol

[tnawcwvictoria]

I remember this, too

I saw this on NBC, but I never saw the syndicated version, I don't think that SuperStation WTBS (later SuperStation TBS), USA Network or WGN (now WGN America) has ever showed this in reruns

But also, Teri Copley was certainly no Suzanne Somers or Priscilla Barnes and I do remember the late Tom Villard and Bonnie Urseth on Pyramid w/Dick Clark and other Game Shows and Stepfanie Kramer who later became the Brass Cupcake named Dee Dee McCall on HUNTER Starring Fred Dryer

[lakebay972]

@tnawcwvictoria Yeah, Tom Villard was kick-ass on Pyramid.

[raddog13]

the guys all look like fags! lol

[mcatuara1]

Cute...but dumb

[StuntmanJackR]

That theme is so awful. I just laughed so hard. They pimped the hell out of this show and it still tanked hardcore.

[DickieAnginson]

Oh my goodness. That intro is retarded and yet I still watched this show. I forgot about Matt McCoy! He stars in my favorite craptastic SyFy movie, "Abominable."

[LENTICULARPLASTIC]

 Wow...gotta love those cheap 80s Video Toaster effects.

[CineGMitchell]

@LENTICULARPLASTIC The Video Toaster wasn't even invented yet. These are still better than what it could finally do.

[johnnyafairbanksak]

@CineGMitchell According to the end credits of one episode, Image West -- a long-defunct electronic animation studio based on L.A. -- did the intro.

Thankfully, We Got It Made would be totally forgotten the moment NBC brought in someone who the following season would finally save the network from extinction. His name? BILL COSBY!!!!!!!!

[illuminatioracle]

terri cosplay

[chicagofrank2010]

OMG I remember watching this BOMB of a show. It was cancelled about 3 or 4 times.  The stupid network kept bring it back for summer or mid-season replacements

[VaultMasterDBT]

You're probably thinking of other shows..WGIM was cancelled once on NBC (March 1984) after a six month run, and again after one season in first-run syndication (March 1988).

[chicagofrank2010]

@VaultMasterDBT No I am not . I grew up in the1990's and used to watch tv like 12+ hours a day. I even watched the really bad shows like Hello Larry, The Ropers, Condo (only lasted 2 or 3 shows) Flo, Just the 10 of us, After MASH, Port Charles and others.

[VaultMasterDBT]

Yes, you are...this series was never brought back by NBC for summer runs, or as mid-season replacements. :)

Just the Ten of Us and Port Charles (amazingly, two radically different genres you've mentioned here) were actually great shows.

[WarriorSmurf]

I actually remember the promos for this show the summer before it debuted. Fresh out of the first grade, I was, lol. And the theme song.

[mooky9669]

don't ever remember seeing this...

[retroguy1976]

@mooky9669 me either lol

[nickelindimer]

So this was one of Matt McCoy's roles, before he was brought-in as filler for the "Now-vacant" spot left by Steve Gutenberg after Police Academy 4: Citizens On Patrol. Wow....

Anyone ever see the episode where Teri models "Tan In a Can" spray-on tan? It worked... Right up to the moment her skin turns blue!

[newscaster13]

@nickelindimer two future upholders of the law: Stephanie Kramer as Dee Dee McCall on Hunter (pairing with Fred Dryer and Rick Hunter); and Matt McCoy in Police Academy.

[fromthesidelines]

Fred Silverman, former programmer of CBS, ABC and NBC, was co-executive producer of this series; as he was behind the initial success of "THREE'S COMPANY", he figured he'd make Teri Copley the "Suzanne Somers of 1983". The original series lasted one season, and Stepfanie Kramer went on to co-star with Fred Dryer in "HUNTER" the following season. However, Silverman had a chance to revive the show in first-run syndication in the fall of 1987...which again, lasted just one more season.

[megamanj2004X]

@fromthesidelines - Even though this show was one of Fred Silverman's big bombs, the mid-'80s brought Fred Silverman new-found success when he brought Raymond Burr out of retirement for the Perry Mason TV movies in 1985 & signed Andy Griffith as Ben Matlock on Matlock in 1986 & also gave Tom Bosley Father Dowling Mysteries & transformed Caroll O'Connor from bigoted Archie Bunker to more easy-going Bill Gillespie on "In the Heat of the Night" in March of 1988.

[mrtelevision]

Fred Silverman was also responsible for Jake And The Fatman(with William Conrad)

and Diagnosis Murder(with Dick Van Dyke).

[WrestlingHeretic]

How 80s can you get?

[modernity2001]

Subtext: Our show is a rancid piece of shit but we have an attractive blonde headlining it, so watch.

[Multi80schick]

@modernity2001 I agree.  This show was REALLY bad, so it's surprisng people still remember it. Copely is a born again Christian now, probably repenting for her time on this show and that horrible movie, I Married a Centerfold.

[morgan8757]

did hunter debut the same season as we got it made

[VaultMasterDBT]

Nope, Hunter came a year later.

[parlet]

This one is definitely a trip in the time machine!

[konajinxed]

Wow, back when WTVK was still channel 26! I grew up in the area and watched this at the time. I was 11. Yikes.

[newscaster13]

I'm more partial to her teaming with Fred Dryer, as the tomboyish Dee Dee McCall pairing with the gun-happy Rick Hunter.

[nickelindimer]

@newscaster13 You should have seen Fred Dryer's tryout as Sam Malone for "Cheers"... He played it a total macho, dumb-jock. Lucky for Ted Danson--and us--the role went to him.

[morgan8757]

I remember we got it made when I was in high school

[setpunk12]

whoa these credits are hilarious!

I love them! they're so 80s!!!!
