I watched this back in the day and forgot about it. I was watching the documentary series on Carlin on HBO and they mentioned this show, reminded me of the good times watching this with my parents and sister. We all loved Carlin. RIP Mom and George.
I remember when I visited LA back in late 1993, we had tickets to a taping of this show - I think it was the pilot and watching this back, I'm almost positive it was. Very cool to have this posted!
George was a friend and we did the Forrest Duke Show together on NBC in Las Vegas 1980. Drew Carey saw it while he slept on Paul R Brown's couch and Paul introduced us.
Same here. I first learned of George Carlin through this sitcom on Sunday nights when I was a child. Had no idea who he was, but I used to laugh with the show
I was only 11 years old when Carlin passed away (though he'd prefer I say died because "passing away" is "soft language" 😅) but learned about him later on in life for his stand up comedy shows and now I'm learning he was in my children's show Thomas & Friends and Cars and that old shows too! He's truly a master of acting.
This was horrible. I love George too, but I'm fairly certain that he was perfectly content that almost everyone forgot about it. I remember watching this in first run when I was 12 and I thought it was hilarious. Of course, I also thought that captain Nintendo was a great show. 😂
I watched this as a kid, my intro to Carlin. Figured it was garbage some 30-ish years later, because people said it was. But, no, no. This is very well-written. The cast is wonderful. It's not the best thing i've ever seen, no, but it's great. For what it is, it's excellent.
As a longtime fan of George, I feel his material about religion was him pointing out the inconsistencies and the fallacies of churches and religion in general. I grew up in the church. My Dad in his day was a Sunday School teacher. I have friends who are pastors, and I’m dumbfounded at some practices of churches I’ve visited. Too many have taken the word of God and twisted it to suit their purposes. Those are butt of his jokes.
That's not George Carlin, that's George O'Grady his character that's praying. Lol Besides this is a comical allegory of praying to win at gambling. Gambling is a sin. So...

Drew saw a pic of my dad and I told Drew there's the greatest comic I ever knew and next thing you know, Drew took on pop's persona and joined the Marines too...I am Forrest Gump! Lol #BadComic
In the early 2000’s, we took in a stray cat and named him Miles. Not because of the show but he was also named after Miles Davis. I did watch this show while it was on, when it came on after Married…With Children. In the years that followed, Fox programming went to Hell with trash like Temptation Island. Now because of their horrific news division, I won’t even watch the World Series or the Super Bowl every 2-3 years (sporting events that I rarely missed until recently)
Susan Sullivan and Christopher Rich! Very cool. PS: George met Susan while they were both guests on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson once and he was smitten with her ever since. Not surprising that he cast her as his love interest ;)
"Looks like he just had his bell rung." "That means it's only a brain injury." George was prophetic even on kind of crappy sitcom he didnt have creative control over. Wow.
So the plastic surgeon’s name is Neil Beck? Steve Martin’s character in Planes, Trains & Automobiles is named Neal Page. I guess someone needs to write a comedy script and create a character named Neal Clapton
Toni Nagy is almost in comparison to George carlin. With her dance moves while telling the truth at the same time. Comically. She's like a female George Carlin with rhythm.
I would love to watch a tv show with George Carlin but for some reason I can't stand shows that happen inside a bar. If the premise would be more like Seinfeld, I'd be all up for it...
Good show but doomed from the start. The problem was I feel is that they couldn't swear and I cant imagine George got too much creative control. Kinda sad really
i was just looking at the fall network tv schedule online for nostalgia sake to see what i was probably watching in 1992 and seen this was on fox at 9pm, i never saw it because mom and I would watch americas funniest home videos
Actually George quit the sitcom after only one season. He said he realized he was not really comfortable with something that someone else wrote for him to say
You think Jimmy doesn't know how to make a martini? Jimmy's made his share of martinis, but Jimmy isn't so good with garnishes. Garnishes and Jimmy kinda clash.
Not funny then…not funny NOW. Carlin was a comedic genius @STANDUP 🎉 this wasn’t the right vehicle 🚗 for his talents. Would have been honored to have been able to work with him. R.i.P.
It's actually pretty good for what it is, and it is really all it could be. Further than that how can you deem (stupid emoji like we need an image to understand words) anything and be taken seriously (yet another dumb emoji) doing this silly emoji thing
Sure wish they gave the amount of money the actors were paid. Or how much they the actors spent after they got paid? Bummer that my question can't be answered. 5-13-2022
George has been my hero since the early 70's. Thank you so much for putting these vids up for people to DISCOVER
I watched this back in the day and forgot about it. I was watching the documentary series on Carlin on HBO and they mentioned this show, reminded me of the good times watching this with my parents and sister. We all loved Carlin. RIP Mom and George.
My hero, having this great philosopher's teachings preserved!

Sick!
Thats amazing. Must've been an awesome time for comedy. I was born in 1980 lol
Wow awesome. Hope you're well
I watched this when I was a kid, but I had no idea who George Carlin was at the time.
Yes, this too was when I heard of George Carlin for the first time
Same here. I first learned of George Carlin through this sitcom on Sunday nights when I was a child. Had no idea who he was, but I used to laugh with the show
The first time I was ever introduced to George Carlin was when I got into Thomas the Tank Engine.
Really good chemistry. Especially for a first episode. Writing is tight, too. Even the dog is on point!
I just heard about George and i am searching for all the stuff he did,,RIP Mr.Carlin,,you left a great legacy
Welcome to awesome
Cheers!
I never saw this show great thanks for sharing 😄

He is worth being a fanatic over.

It's A Livin'. Susan Sullivan a great actor. Plus fantastic part for Dharma and Greg.
Can't believe I didn't know about this show until now. I watched all konds of TV back in these days as a kid.
My friend who is a huge George Carlin fan didn't even know about this show. I watched this every week on Fox when it was on.
As a huge fan of George I'm extremely disappointed this has almost no recognition, no dvd release or anything.
I don't have George's "All My Stuff" so I don't know but, this entire series belongs on the _Special Features_ dvd
@@LokiWolfe1985 I have the commemorative collection, it includes apartment 2c, and all kinda of rare stuff, but...not this
This was horrible. I love George too, but I'm fairly certain that he was perfectly content that almost everyone forgot about it. I remember watching this in first run when I was 12 and I thought it was hilarious. Of course, I also thought that captain Nintendo was a great show. 😂
I'm all for preserving everything the man did, but then same mane also went on then record saying that he wanted to forget about this adventure.
Loved this show when I was a kid ❤
First I heard of him having his show.
So far so good.
I just found out Norm Macdonald had his own TV show too
It was funny

I didn't understand most of it because I was a kid.
Now, I watch it all the time.
My brother and I liked as kids. In fact we quoted lines from it for years.
Carlin was a true genius, unafraid to seek and speak the truth. i think the desire for truth died with him.
Thank god they put this show on here
8:31 never expected this fron GEORGE CARLIN
nerd junior Then you don’t really understand his history as Catholic....May he Rest In Peace. 😉

R.I.P. Alex Rocco George Carlin and Mike Hagerty
And now Mike Haggerty
@@NickInfante1992 the guy who played the superintendent from Friends and he was Sikes in Inspector Gadget
@@NickInfante1992 I didn’t know he died
Thank you for putting these on here!!
I'm watching this for Jimmy.

This Was Platinum!
George Carlin seems like he’s doing an impression of Judd Hirsch from Taxi lmao
Named our Yorkie "Myles" because of this show.... Loved it.... and, of course, if you're a Seinfeld fan, I have to write, "Jimmy's Down!"
I was searching in the comments to remember who he was. Thanks! Jimmy's gonna get you, Kramer!

I didn’t know this show even existed.
Yes, I wonder how they hid it so well. 5-13-2022
I Loved watching this when it was on back then. Was disappointed when it ended. Thought it was a good show.
Never seen it and i am 37. Fucking love this show. Dont think it was on tv in my country.
His wife said this is what George Carlin would be in real life if he’d never made it as a stand up comedian 😂
Witty show! Of course, it's George's show.
May you live long and happy
Susan Sullivan and Christopher Rich! Very cool. PS: George met Susan while they were both guests on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson once and he was smitten with her ever since. Not surprising that he cast her as his love interest ;)
Good evening, I have episode 1-2 George Sees An Airplane. I can put it on Google drive. Please reply.
This show should lasted. It's not brilliant by any stretch but it's pretty damn good for a 90s sitcom.
wow, back when scenes last longer than 30 seconds on tv
Yeah I actually liked how laugh track sitcoms back then almost felt like a stage play
Do you have Season 1 , Episode 2 (George Sees an Airplane)? Thanks.
The good ole days of politically incorrect comedic lines---- love it!
He definitely made a good Mr conductor
wasnt aware the legend even had his own show
and his dog too, that was the dog he bought after tippy died getting hit by a car
"Looks like he just had his bell rung."
"That means it's only a brain injury."
George was prophetic even on kind of crappy sitcom he didnt have creative control over. Wow.
Just found out about this today. R.I.P. Mike Hagerty.
This feels more like George Carlin acting as much like a generic sit-com character as possible.
He acted exactly like Judd Hirsch from Taxi
If Cheers was set in New York
Nyc
God I miss George Carlin
Anybody else waiting for him to name the dog Tippy?
“Tippy was a small god damn dog”
So the plastic surgeon’s name is Neil Beck? Steve Martin’s character in Planes, Trains & Automobiles is named Neal Page. I guess someone needs to write a comedy script and create a character named Neal Clapton
What happened to episode 2?
Flagged for copyright
Just episode 2 though?? Lol wtf

Very true!
George Carlin + Sam Simon + Tracy Ullman = TV Gold. (In any decently run universe.)
Such like Mr Bean
Hmmm, George sees an airplane seems to um not exist anywhere... odd
He had some long locks!
i was just looking at the fall network tv schedule online for nostalgia sake to see what i was probably watching in 1992 and seen this was on fox at 9pm, i never saw it because mom and I would watch americas funniest home videos
Sweet Freedom Productions/Main Sequence/Warner Bros Television (1994)
I wish I could record this request, but the WBTV logo is cut short.
George Carlin didn't fit a TV role like this. He was too real for it.
Actually George quit the sitcom after only one season. He said he realized he was not really comfortable with something that someone else wrote for him to say
You think Jimmy doesn't know how to make a martini? Jimmy's made his share of martinis, but Jimmy isn't so good with garnishes. Garnishes and Jimmy kinda clash.
the jimmy
Who walks away and leave their untouched screwdriver on the table😳
Right?
At 7 minutes I laughed 4 times. That's pretty good for a sitcom. And they actually used the team name Redskins. Wow. They were so edgy back then.
Waaay before the whole woke crap makes me wonder what George would think about all of this right now if he was still alive
Hope sucks … here, here
When the twin towers still stood
Oh wow really
wish there was no laughtrack
😉
Better than 99% of comedy shows, but it's too snappy for the average Joe.
1994
😝
Spoiler -
why couldn't he have lowered the bet, paid the debt, and kept the dog? Win-Win-Win!
Not funny then…not funny NOW.
Carlin was a comedic genius @STANDUP 🎉
this wasn’t the right vehicle 🚗 for his talents.

Tf kinda inquiry is that what's the relevancy
Okay, his acting is bad. Jokes so-so. Overall theme of an everyday guy asking existential questions, though makes it a hidden gem.
