This was married with children’s sister show, Very similar with the lighting and the theme song. I can easily see them crossing over and being apart of each other’s universe.
@ 13:50 the wonderful funny late actress Wendie Jo Sperber from Bosom Buddies, movie 1941 and countless guest appearances She did a move about the Beatles first appearance at the Ed Sullivan Theater, great comedy movie and the TV show Babes. She was one of the guest actresses with Breast Cancer appeared on TV show Murphy Brown and appeared on Married w/ Children and Will & Grace TV shows several movies from the 1980's too.
they dragged it out by making you wonder if their dreams would ever come true. of course the main one is being set free but they each had individual aspirations they were shooting for throughout the series while it lasted.
So let me get this straight? Michael G. Moye and the late Ron Leavitt who co-created It's Your Move and Married...with Children as well as produced The Jeffersons in the 80's along with Coca-Cola's Embassy Television had a hand in this show? Very interesting Julia Campbell who played a Woman in Prison went on to play a Mean Girl in Romy and Michele's High School Reunion with Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow of NBC's Friends Fame The late Peggy Cass of Goodson-Todman's To Tell the Truth CCH Pounder of Robocop 3 went from playing a Woman in Prison to an M.E. on NCIS: New Orleans Comedian Blake Clark went on play Chet Hunter on Boy Meets World and Harry "the Hardware Store Guy" on Home Improvement Denise "Denny" Dillon is a Tony Award Winning Actress who appeared on stage and screen and the late Wendy Jo Sperber went on to star in another short-lived FOX Comedy Babes and she also starred in abc's Bosom Buddies Starring Tom Hanks and Private Benjamin: The Series
Yeah I remember these famous actresses. CCH Pounder voiced Amanda Waller from the Justice League animated series, The New Batman Superman Animated Series and Arkham Asylum Assult Animated movie. Denny Dillion was on that Showtime series Dream On, also the 1980-81 season of Saturday Night Live. Wendy Specer is in Bosom Buddies, 1941 and Back To The Future
And Antoinette Byron, who had been on the Australian prison soap Prisoner prior to this, as Susie Driscoll's hostel roommate. Women in Prison was doomed from the start. It faced 227 in the same timeslot on Saturday nights and had the struggling Matthew Perry sitcom Second Chance as a lead in. No wonder it ended quickly.
Thanks so much for uploading I have been searching for this series for so many years so if you have any more episodes please please upload them or if you know where I can watch any more episodes please let me know thanks again for uploading I've been watching your other vids love your channel
CHICKEN LITTLES!! This is the advertising that sold my little fat ass on them but I remembered them being 49cent... Was excited when they came back a couple years ago but they weren't quite the same with that sesame bun
I started watching cause of Wendi Jo (I’m a fan cause of BTTF) but I’d want this to look like an actual prison with more restrictions, it’d be funnier and it’d help the plot.
Tv shows today wouldn't be able to get away with some of the dialog in this show and most 80s early 90's shows which makes the decade so great. Imagine if there was a character that said show a little thigh and saying someone acting weird means gay.
Women in Prison (1987-1988) was a bad but perversely entertaining t.v. show that was produced by "The people who brought you Silver Spoons, 227, and Married... with Children. A young woman (Julia Campbell) takes to fall for her sleazy and shady husband. All she had to do was keep her mouth shut and do her time. But she later on finds out about hubby's lecherous deeds. So she's stuck in prison doing a long stretch. Her fellow inmates were a strange bunch of odd fellows. The show never received any sort of closure because it was canceled after the 1st season. Only 13 episodes of the series were produced and aired. I don't know why because it was entertaining compared to the crap that the FOX network was airing night after night.
Timeslot and lead in contributed to the show flopping. It was scheduled directly against NBC's 227 on Saturday nights and had the Matthew Perry sitcom Second Chance, which was struggling to get an audience, as a lead in. None of the early Fox sitcoms could succeed on Saturday nights against NBC's comedy block.
This show feels more like a rich woman loses all her money and is forced to work with commoners story more than a prison show. You could probably replace the latter plot with the former plot and it would make more sense. Not sure what prison just lets inmates walk around willy nilly and not in prison garb too. Even the warden's office looks like it could have been used for a construction boss' office.
The real crime that's been committed here is that there are only two episodes available!

The ORIGINAL Orange Is The New Black!
Vikie not too far away from Piper lol
I've never seen a women's prison where they all wear their own clothes 😆
It amazes me how luxurious they live incarcerated. Fiction at its best.
I used to love this show! So funny I remember all of those commercials too
I haven't seen this show in years thanks for putting this on RUclips
I found my tribe in this comments section ...I’m glad I’m not the only one who remembers this
Crazy that Julia Campbell was on this show with CCH Pounder who went on to star on The Shield with Jay Karnes, Julia’s husband.
she also was on the last episode of the shield.
I like how in prison the ladies can still choose their own outfits.
Yeah, talk about a casual prison.
+sha11235 a little too casual don't you think ... They were given needles and heels lol
What do you mean by needles?
@@sha11235 The old lady was knitting with a pair.
Their prison cell looks like a dorm

That movie was I Wanna Hold Your Hand, which was directed by Robert Zemeckis, who also directed her in Back to the Future.
Also, MWC was made by these same producers.
And Back to the Future.
Thank you so much. I used to love this show.
I suppose you were the only one since it didn't last long.
sha11235 maybe so.
The pilot is interesting, although I don't see how they could keep up the idea.
they dragged it out by making you wonder if their dreams would ever come true. of course the main one is being set free but they each had individual aspirations they were shooting for throughout the series while it lasted.
@ 13:50 loved the late comedy actress Wendie Jo Sperber
Even commercials were funnier and cooler looking back then.
Literally no part of the prison show was representative of an actual women's prison.
You haven't been to every women's prison. Maybe in some backwoods hellhole they play a laugh-track as a form of sick punishment.
Patrick Neary
I don't think it was supposed to, although there are a few moments in here where it gets dangerous.
Is that a requirement? 😂
I love it when a variety show introduces a celebrity by having a door bell ring.... "Well Bruce Willis!"
I remember this show from when I was like in first grade. Lol
Rip to a beautiful gorgeous woman Wendie Jo sperber we still miss you
She was a terrific actress.
Haha i just posted the same thing when i saw her in these credits.

Denise "Denny" Dillon is a Tony Award Winning Actress who appeared on stage and screen
and the late Wendy Jo Sperber went on to star in another short-lived FOX Comedy Babes and she also starred in abc's Bosom Buddies Starring Tom Hanks and Private Benjamin: The Series
Well, they helped get it going, but Katherine Green was the showrunner, I'm sure. They probably tried to do another show after the success of MWC.
I remember in the advertising they said it was from the same people who did MWC.

@@sha11235 Green also created another FOX show in 1992 called “Rachel Gunn R.N.”
This show, if it had been aired a mere five years latter, would have been on for most of a decade.
Yeah it looks like it could be in the married with children universe
@@double0nine73 , I think that was the original intent with certain shows.. but they went another direction.
In the Gr80s Bad was Good and Good was Good !
The 80s was about waves and there was defiantly a resurgence of women in prison movies.
The bailiff is Dirk from Night Court.
i vaguely remember his show when i was a kid

Yes I agree
+Otis Roseboro Pardon for replying a little too late,but thanks a great deal,and have a happy new year!!.
2:45 Chicken Littles were the BEST. I used to put four on the plate in a diamond shape when I sat down to eat.

I really liked this show Julia Campbell was very beautiful and CCH Pounder was a good actress.
CHICKEN LITTLES!! This is the advertising that sold my little fat ass on them but I remembered them being 49cent... Was excited when they came back a couple years ago but they weren't quite the same with that sesame bun
THEY NEED TO BRING THEM BACK THEY WAS SOOOOOOO GD !!
I really enjoy this show!
I started watching cause of Wendi Jo (I’m a fan cause of BTTF) but I’d want this to look like an actual prison with more restrictions, it’d be funnier and it’d help the plot.
Love Blake Clark as the warden. What a funny man!
Omg,thease old commercials. 😁
Cch pounder was super funny 😄😄 in this show
Is this a spoof of Prisoner: Cell Block H?
Antoinette Byron, who appeared in Prisoner, appears in this.
Good Bad Flicks sent me here. Wow. I am expecting a train wreck.
Ah. Wendie Jo Sperber. She was evrywhere! And so funny!!!!!!

And the Twins went all the way that year.
4:00

"how many beatings can a woman take" FOUR... yeah times were different
Yeah they were better. No PC bullshit. A joke was understood to be a joke
@@christopherdorsey3698 That's what I miss.
Reminds me of Dangerous Women
1980’s has weird ass commericals
It’s like the prison version of Barney Miller.
Antoinette is beautiful
who is that serie where i watching online.
J crazy gi Joe wrestling bro why has there not. Been a reboot of this. 80 s gem j
what is name that serial?
Ok so this is early Piper Chapman🤔
Tv shows today wouldn't be able to get away with some of the dialog in this show and most 80s early 90's shows which makes the decade so great. Imagine if there was a character that said show a little thigh and saying someone acting weird means gay.
That's what we did.
this show seems like the prototype for dangerous women
#Foxbroadcastingcompany brought me here .
doesn't look like a prison at all ..... guess that's why it didn't get picked up for a season 2
Looks like a camp
Well, Hogan's Heroes wasn't exactly a POW camp, yet it ran for several years.
do you have millennium from kmsp
do you have any more episodes?
Sadly, no. Surprised this never came out on DVD.
Well Thank you for posting it. Wonderful Stuff!!!
Why would they put this out on DVD? It wasn't a big damn hit series.
If it’s not on DVD, turn to tvshowsondvd.com on Facebook & Twitter since their site closed down or ask the studio who produced the show.
omg
A 39¢ chicken sandwich. Wow

Do people really go to prison for shoplifting?
Depends. Maybe because this wasn't a candy bar.
@@sha11235 It was a diamond bracelet.

Maybe that's not dangerous-a sewing needle.
For shame!!!
Denny Dillion is so beautiful & gorgeous
Such an offensive show! Sexism! Lesbianism! Angry Black Lady Stereotypes! This....this.....Denny Dillon! Terrible acting! How can Fox do such a thing?
Guess you don't like Married with Children either, since this is by the same people.
@@sha11235 I shoukd have known! I do like when al bundy goes on about fat ladies though
What aa terrible theme song. No wonder it was cancelled
