Title: All the right ingredients, except for one; LAUGHS.
Review: Here's an example of a sitcom that had a perfect cast, a great plot, and even a cool theme song. It just wasn't (and still isn't) very funny. Almost every "joke" falls flat. But don't worry, if you should find yourself NOT laughing at any of the jokes, the annoying "laugh track" (canned laughter) seems to be having a great time!If not for the 80's nostalgia and great cast, which includes Dabney Coleman, Joanna Cassidy, and a very young Geena Davis, this would be a VERY painful viewing experience. Don't believe the critics who cliam it was "too hip" to survive. The reason you're not laughing isn't because you "don't get it", it's because it isn't very funny. A shame that Jim Borrows and Glen and Les Charles (Taxi, Cheers) weren't at the helm, then it might have had some REAL laughs and could have become a true classic!Still worth a look for 80's nostalgia hounds!JM
