This week, we look at CBS's "Meego" starting Bronson Pinchot and Jonathan Lipnicki. The sitcom so bad it destroyed TWO networks' Friday night lineups!
Fair Use is the Law.
EDIT: Okay, that Woody Allen joke at 4:41 alone boosted this show into a higher tier than I initially thought possible.
Oh god, Bronson Pinchot, no!! I swear he was capable of legitimately good and subtle acting and comedy; early Perfect Strangers proves that. Man it makes me sad that he never got the props he deserved (at least not after about 1987)
This channel is so underrated.
You call that show a failure, and yet that Woody Allen joke is top tier.
This is where the Broken Clock Theory comes into play.
I was pretty surprised they made that joke on the show lol. Probably one of the only few spotlights
I liked "You didn't know how to spell 'house', either."
That was absolutely savage, amazing for a “family friendly” show of the era
Aged like the finest of wine!
I would love to see more episodes on failed TGIF sitcoms like "You Wish", "Camp Wilder", or "Going Places", and that's just for starters.
I actually laughed at "I didn't know how to spell Ebola" "You didn't know how to spell House too"
Frankly, this show seems pretty much in line with other “he’s an alien” sitcoms like Alf, Mork and Mindy, Third Rock from the Sun, etc. These clips quite frankly make this show look MUCH better than ABC’s own attempt at an alien sitcom on TGiF… 1996’s Aliens in the Family
Funny you mention that show! Pab said Meego was “Saturday morning fare slotted into Friday night Primetime.” Aliens in the Family only aired two episode on TGIF then when summer came they burned off every episode on Saturday mornings as if it was intended to be there lol. Maybe CBS could have done the same for Meego in hindsight? But I guess it was damaged goods just like Aliens was
I was wracking my brain trying to figure out the show that destroyed the traditional Friday night lineup. I thought it was either a NBC or Fox show that destroyed ABC and CBS. Yes, I remember this show.
This was poised to be Bronson Pinchot's after-Perfect Strangers hit! I was there for it on premier night. 😁
How many times in the history of network television has "The Next Big Hit" turned out to be "The Next Big Flop"? Pretty much almost every MTM Productions show starting in 1975 (Paul Sand in Friends and Lovers, The Texas Wheelers, Doc, We've Got Each Other, etc) Falls under that category.
@@Quartzquiz333 And the Bedford Falls shows post Thirtysomething.
In fairness, My So-Called Life and Relativity mainly failed because ABC stuck them in rotten timeslots. (Relativity faced the dramas Walker Texas Ranger and Profiler on Saturday nights, and MSCL went against Mad About You and Martin on Thursday nights).
@@Quartzquiz333 Doc actually did well in ratings for the first season, but they weren't to CBS's expectations.
Hence the revamp for S2, with only Mary Wickes retained from the original supporting cast. Well until she leaves an episode in.
Texas Wheelers was scheduled against The Rockford Files, which was popular back then, so no surprise it went down the tubes. Gary Busey would provide us with comedy later in Under Siege.
@@Quartzquiz333 Although We've Got Each Other flopped, Joan Van Ark and Martin Kove would get roles on more successful shows for CBS later.
In Van Ark's case, she was on Knots Landing (and an episode of Dallas, where David Ackroyd played Gary Ewing) as soon as We've Got Each Other ended.
@@Quartzquiz333 Paul Sand did get decent ratings, but considering it was in a sandwich between The MTM Show and All In The Family, CBS expected better.
Although The Gregory Hines Show wasn't exactly a hit, Wendell Pierce went on to The Wire and later Suits, the latter of which he played the father of the future Duchess of Sussex.
Robin Riker later went on to The Bold and The Beautiful for 2 years, and Brandon Hammond had a few minor roles before retiring from acting.
And to think, without the implosion of the "Block Party", we would have never known "Blue Bloods". My mother is going to be writing Meego a "thank you" note as soon as I tell her.
MEEGO: The Poor Man's "Mork & Mindy"!
For Miller-Boyett, it's the "VR Troopers" to Saban's "Power Rangers"!
Meego actually wasn’t the first Miller Boyett production shot on video tape. Bosom Buddies has that distinction. Also, Full House was a M/B production shot on tape.
The whole irony of what CBS did that season was the eventually resurrect their Friday night lineup the following season. Three whole hours of dramas instead of the usual night time soaps such as Dallas and Falcon Crest from back in the day.
I completely missed this TV series back then, thank God.;)
Lucky you.
I saw the pilot a long time ago and have been trying to find out what the show was ever since. Thanks, Pab!
Meego was unusual among the shows in the CBS Block Party in that *it was targeted mainly at children, instead of the whole family.*
*This was a factor in the show's failure:* by that point, the show's lead-in: Family Matters was consisted mostly of a cast of young adults and its lead-out: The Gregory Hines Show (the only show on the block to be produced by CBS and Columbia TriStar Television and with no ties to either Warner Bros. or Miller-Boyett) was also a mostly adult-oriented sitcom. *Another factor in the show's failure* was its direct competition, Boy Meets World: the program that aired on TGIF opposite Meego, *reached its peak in number of viewers during the 1997-98 season.* Meego was pulled from the air after *six episodes.* After holiday specials filled the slot for the next 2 months, Kids Say the Darndest Things replaced Meego on the CBS schedule in January 1998.
I remember this show. My brothers and I loved it. Its kinda a mess looking bzck on it but its great nostalgia for us. We still quote some parts of it to this day as an inside joke.
The “magical nanny trope.” 😄. Well done! It’s great to have you back creating new content. Thanks!
Well, yes, the “magical nanny trope.” Originator: Mary Poppins (novels). See also: Nanny and the Professor, Mary Poppins (films), Out of the Blue, You Wish, Free Spirit….
@@PabSungenis Nanny McPhee...
They claimed Meego was from Canada because if they said he was from France it would be an obvious rip-off of the Coneheads.
Miller-Boyett did produce videotaped, multi-camera sitcoms before Meego. Full House was of course one as well as Bosom Buddies, although the pilot if I'm not mistaken, was shot on film.
I remembered when this premiered Pinchot was coming off of a season of Step By Step. There was also a wave of TGIF shows after the success of Sabrina that tried to copy the success of the special effects gags- You Wish, Teen Angel and Meego
I remember them trying the "Block Party" thing . I hadn't thought of it, but you're probably right, Urkel and "Step by Step" moving to CBS was like taking two important block off the Jenga tower. Ughh, sad...
Is it a bit of an overstatement to flat out say that Meego is mostly responsible for ABC pulling the plug on TGIF after the 1999-00? Granted, I haven't done any hardcore research. I don't deny that the CBS Block Party may have split the audience that would've otherwise have gone to TGIF on Friday nights.
But I think that what did TGIF in was that they really didn't have any reliable hits after Sabrina the Teenage Witch debuted in 1996-97. Just about every show outside of that and Boy Meets World, only lasted a single season on ABC if I remember correctly.
And when after Sabrina became a hit, ABC decided to double down on high-concept, supernatural, special effects laden shows in You Wish and Teen Angel. Like Meego, these shows seemed like one of those cheeseball, late afternoon, syndicated sitcoms from the '80s like Small Wonder or Out of This World or something that you would see on the Disney Channel come the 2000s like Wizards of Waverly Place.
And I do suspect that when Disney came into the picture, they really didn't have a clear idea or goal with what to do with TGIF. As the video states, when they purchased ABC in 1995, they wanted to make the network more into their own image. So TGIF went from being a block that was directed at the entire family to something more squarely directed at teenagers.
Agreed. Meego honestly gets hated on too much, it was destined to fail by CBS but to say it's responsible for killing the entire lineup's a solid stretch indeed. The big issue was there was way too many similar shows at one time then. TGIF and the Block Party was never gonna work out, BP was a lame name and felt like a rip off, and TGIF was so unlike itself. People were turned off either way. Honestly I say TGIF was the biggest loser out of both. It had too many dud shows from the start that never woulda been okayed without the MB shows leaving. On CBS meanwhile Family Matters had a good final season and Gregory Hines's show wasn't bad at all either. Meego was also fun. Step by Step was played out but I'd take 1 dud show over 2. TGIF lost once the MB shows left.
I HAD to subscribe. This channel is awesome
I don't remember "step by step" and "family matters" moving to CBS
Me either. But that shows how far they fell off.
I’ve only recently discovered this show. I do remember when Family Matters & Step by Step moved to CBS. Aside from Sabrina and Boy Meets World, TGIF was practically in shambles after those 2 departed. Meego looks terrible but amazingly the first two replacements on TGIF were on Meego levels too: “You Wish” and “Teen Angel.” “You Wish” essentially was Meego but with a genie, Teen Angel had a little more charm but still very corny and no wonder why they didn’t last.
There was high expectation around Teen Angel (similar to Sibs and Phenom earlier) because it was created from two of the writers on The Simpsons - Al Jean and Mike Reiss. Interestingly Yeardley Smith is in one episode.
Maureen McCormick (she of Brady Bunch fame) clearly must have thought Teen Angel bad, as she left midway.
@@andrewbarton2590 yes! I remember all that. Lots of Simpsons writers involved in the show, surprised it didn’t do better. Like I said it had some charm, but jokes mostly fell flat. Probably being made for a family block limited it a little.
You wish was pure garbage… either way hope we see both on a future 13 Week Theater!
Teen Angel and You Wish seemed more at home on The Disney Channel with its writing and teenage slapstick.
@@Quartzquiz333 yes! They really do come off as precursors to many late 90s and beyond Disney Channel shows. As did many of the Family Matters final 2 season episodes with supernatural elements lol
In the UK this was shown on Ch4 at 4am followed by Sesame Street. I used to catch it when I came home from my nightshift & I just assumed it was a kids show
These clips are hilarious! This show looks great. I would watch this today. I’m not sure what the host means by “the jokes were aimed at children”. No child would have gotten that Woody Allen joke
The Woody Allen joke is surprising to say the least. I’ll admit I haven’t watched the full series but you can find some *knock on wood* episodes currently on RUclips. I watched the first episode; it definitely felt like a sitcom that would be made for modern Nickelodeon or Disney channel lol. According to people who have talked about the show, they have considered it a mostly “for kids show”
The only thing I remember from this show was the Gilligan's Island cameos.
The CBS Friday Night Block Party's failure is the primary reason why "Family Matters" and "Step By Step" should've gone the way of Paramount TV's ex-ABC show "Sister, Sister" and move in-house to The WB instead, when "Family Matters" were already doing gangbusters in syndication on WB affiliates nationwide (like WPIX New York which stayed on their lineup until as late as 2006). The block happened in part because Les Moonves, then-president of CBS Entertainment, was actually a long-time partner with Miller-Boyett back when he was running Lorimar, and later, Warner Bros. Television before being called up in 1995 to help rescue dead-last CBS, whose primetime numbers were in the toilet after losing MLB, the NFL and the Winter Olympics after the '98 edition in Nagano.
So, THIS was the show that helped destroy ABC's TGIF lineup? THANK YOU!!!!! Aside from Boy Meets World, Perfect Strangers and Sabrina, it was pretty much worthless. Harmless family fun, sure, but redundant.
Oh, I've mentioned this before, but I tried watching an episode of Small Wonder when it was on Antennae TV not long ago. As bad as it was in the 1980s, it has managed to age even worse!
ABC's TGIF block (1989-2000) began to die in the fall of 1997: stemming from a combination of aging sitcoms like Family Matters and Step by Step moving to CBS (who started - and ended - their own family-friendly Friday night sitcom line-up in 1997-98 called "The Block Party"), the oversaturation of supernatural/magic type shows (Sabrina the Teenage Witch and new series You Wish and Teen Angel, the latter of which both lasted only one season), the failure of Two of a Kind (which was the last sitcom produced by the previously reliable Miller-Boyett group) starring the Olsen twins the following year. Ultimately, the ending of Boy Meets World after seven seasons and Sabrina, The Teenage Witch moving to The WB after the 1999-2000 season.
ABC would bring back the TGIF brand for the 2003-05 & 2018-19 seasons, but it never met the same success it had before.
It makes me so sad there's no TGIF anymore. I grew up during that time and I'd look forward to that block every week. Now it's Shark Tank and something calling itself 20/20 that's nothing like the 20/20 I knew.
Mork and Mindy is a million times better than Meego, even after it jumped the shark with the middle aged baby episodes.
At the end of the day, it's all about $$$$$. ABC realized it was much cheaper to fill Friday nights with reality and game shows than with scripted comedy.
Not that the failure hurt people's careers - Michelle Trachtenberg and Will Estes in particular.
Yesssss my boy Bronson
You most definitely know about his first sitcom, Sara, starring Geena Davis. Yet another candidate for this channel, Sara lasted exactly 13 weeks, got mediocre ratings against the number 1 show at the time, Dynasty, and it was not renewed. It starred a pretty powerful cast of up and commers including Davis, Pinchot, Alfre Woodard and Bill Maher. Notable for Bronson Pinchot playing one the earliest gay characters on a network television show.
@@Quartzquiz333 I know of Sara, but I haven’t seen Sara
@@mst3kanita I'm actually old enough to seen it in both runs. NBC reran it in 1988 after all the stars' careers started to take off.
By the way: You don't have to go all the way back to Out of the Blue for the magical nanny trope. Free Spirit, which was in your collection of Miller Boyet disasters, was also a magical nanny show from the late '80s.
Free Spirit was not Miller Boyett. It was ELP.
How about instead, Going Places from 1990-91? It appeared to be Miller-Boyett's attempt at during a more "adult" sitcom. It featured Heather Locklear, Alan Ruck from Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Hallie Todd (AKA Data's daughter Lal on Star Trek: TNG and Lizzie McGuire's mom), Jerry Levine (AKA Stiles from Teen Wolf), a post-My Two Dads and pre-Step by Step Staci Keanan, and Holland Taylor, who previously worked with Miller-Boyett on Bosom Buddies.
Going Places replaced Just the Ten of Us on the TGIF block despite Just the Ten of Us doing respectable ratings. But it was clearly a political move as ABC wanted all of its TGIF shows (Full House, Family Matters, and Perfect Strangers) to be produced by Miller-Boyett.
And when Going Places rated poorly, they retooled the show midway and wrote Holland Taylor out.
Holland Taylor later starred in The Naked Truth, which underwent a network change, a retooling and most of the original cast written out. Only Holland, along with Mark Roberts and Tea Leoni, survived the whole run.
Look how young Michelle Trachtenberg is before she started playing Dawn on Buffy.
This is one of my favourite channels on youtube. fab.
ITV bought this for the UK and put it the same Saturday teatime slot that "Mork & Mindy" and "Sabrina The Teenage Witch" had... it didn't do nearly as well as those shows did.
Please do an episode on the 1990 Babysitters Club series that aired on HBO
OK, the "Woody Allen" joke was funny, if not a little creepy and on the nose.
All the clips are pretty funny!
That woody allen joke was pretty good tbh
Wow a show that ended the block thanks for the video and speaking of small wonder can you make a 13 week theater on that series including Bosom Buddies ? Oh and I forgot The Gregory Hines Show and also Once a hero (1987)
Believe it or not, Small Wonder actually ran 4 seasons in Syndication!! As a kid I loved it (they’d always play it after Super Mario Super Show in my area), but it’s always touted as a horrible sitcom and I can’t deny that lol. I’d still be up for some kind of retrospective on it and Bossom Buddies (2 seasons but par the course for Pab’s Patreon exclusive show)
So it was an uninspired rip off of Morky and Mindy?
Seen these episodes first run as a 4 year old kid and LOVED it, and re-watched it on YT and I still enjoy it. CBS imo messed up by cancelling it so early. It's ratings while at the time weren't epic, but they weren't the worst either. They set it up to 100% fail by scheduling it against BMW, that was what ultimately was going on. CBS's intentions were never pure about the Block Party lineup, they were willing to spend 40 million and take a huge loss to kill ABC's momentum. It's honestly one of the craziest forms of sabotage I've ever seen, and boy did it work. By doing this it helped cause ABC's great depression in 2002, when their ratings got super low and they had no real hit show. It was genius by Les M, but it hurt so many people especially Miller Boyett they were blacklisted unofficially due to it. So unfair too. As for Meego, IDK if it would have lasted for more than a year or two on ABC but it deserved better. So did Family Matters, it had a great turnaround and one of it's best years and CBS screwed them over. I'll forever be angry about it.
My main memory of this is the son changed on episode 2
They needed Urkel in every Meego episode then it would have been a big hit.
I didn’t know Jonathan Lipnicki and Michelle Tractenberg both starred in this forgettable 1998 series, Meego. Lipnicki was 2 years coming off from the massive hit, Jerry McGuire and Tractenberg was riding high on her success as an actress, starring in Harriet The Spy and her hit show, “The Adventures Of Pete and Pete,” ended its run on Nick shortly after. By the time Meego came out, I switched to ABC and watched both Sabrina and Boy Meets World. I knew that the CBS Friday Night Block Party was a complete and utter failure and haven’t been able to bring comedy on Friday Nights ever since. No network wants to air comedy on Friday Nights. I felt that Meego was nothing more than an “ALF” clone.
The Woody Allen joke was funny as hell at least.
Small Wonder was great and I won't hear otherwise
and I won't even dare try to rewatch even though it's been like 30 years since I last saw it
Ask me 30 years ago I’d tell you I loved the show too lol. For my market it had the benefit of being on after the Mario Bros cartoon so that was an extra perk for me liking it lol
M W, don't watch it now. Save your young memories. Watching it now in hindsight will ruin it for you.
I will give Small Wonder credit for one thing: the version of the theme song used in seasons 1 and 2 was the ultimate ear worm.
@@PabSungenis I was today’s years old when I found out the Small Wonder had a different theme song in seasons 3 & 4. Oof, that replacement song was horrible
@@PabSungenis Yeah, I'll admit that first version of the theme did have a hook to it. The second version...well, it reminded me of what Love, Sidney did with its theme song after the second season.
Interestingly enough, Pab, Small Wonder was only shown for two out of four seasons in Buffalo. WGRZ Channel 2 showed the first season Sunday nights at 7:30pm, pre-empting Silver Spoons. It was dropped for the second season, picked up by WNYB Channel 49 for the third season Saturday evenings at 6pm (Between The New Monkees/Charles in Charge and Out of This World. What a lineup!), and dropped it before the fourth season.
1:58 the one who knocks
You should do the whole CBS Friday night lineup that thought that they were going to compete against ABC with the likes of Meego, The Gregory Hines Show, Family Matters, and Step by Step. All of them not making beyond the first season.
Well technically, only The Gregory Hines Show would count as Family Matters and Step by Step lasted several seasons over two networks.
Les Moonves had a hand in assembling that lineup too.
Yes,the Les Moonves who tried to destroy Janet Jackson. That whole saga bit him and Justin Timberlake on the butt later.
Family Matters was on for 10 years and Step By Step was on for 6.
That was a disaster!
I say go for it with this idea! Yes Family Matters/Step by Step had long lives thanks to ABC, but they were sentenced to death moving to CBS.
Ah yes, I'm old enough to remember when home entertainment was dominated by three or four networks that were more interested in tearing each other down than in entertaining the audience... There are a few funny lines in these clips but the over-the-top laugh track kills them and the "cute" little kid is mind-bogglingly untalented.
I am amazed that these shows (so many that you have explored here) ever made it on the air. Didn't anyone in the front office look at them before they aired? Didn't anyone in the productions ever say, "I don't think this is working guys" ? Great job as always.
Have you looked at The Charmings (1987) ? I know it ran 21 episodes but it is a good look at a good show gone wrong.
Oh, ABC wanted that show to fail so bad. First, they "Darren Stephensed" the lead after the first season, then they moved it to Thursday nights against NBC's powerhouse lineup! No surprise, the show was gone by the middle of its second season.
Recently discovered The Charmings, wow that was bad lol. I’m pretty amazed it squeezed a second season out lol. If Pab makes more “Not so 13 Week Theaters” with more 2 season flops (loved Hello Larry & AfterMash he did) this could be a solid candidate
@@stvojay I liked the show, at least in the beginning. As for "13 weeks" that seems to be an ideal and not a hard and fast rule.
@@Laceykat66 I'd like for some boundaries to be set because I do like the idea of looking back at shows with super short runs, good and bad, and trying to figure out what went wrong and why they did not last too long. I don't mind a show lasting a full season being talked about (Gidget and Joan Rivers were great subjects!), but over a season should be kept in the "Slightly More than 13 Week Theatre" territory because things start to get a little more complicated about why the shows weren't successful.
My rule is one season, full or partial, is the cut-off point. There are a thousand things that can kill a show in its second season (cast changes, staff changes, shift of focus, scheduling, changing tastes, and so on) but to kill a show in its infancy requires something notable.
There's a sitcom worse than Small Wonder or My Mother the Car? You have my attention.
Pab, please do an episode on My Mother the Car! Thanks for bringing that show up JD!
@@stvojay To quote Pab from a request in the comment section: "I'm saving that one for an upcoming occasion. :) "
@@Quartzquiz333 🤩🤩🤩
The late 70s n early 80s had Mork n Mindy. The Mid 80s n early 90s had ALF. Late 90s had Meego but as it turned out Meego had no chance. Friday nights wasn't the same when Family matters n Step by step moved 2 CBS
At least the 90s also had 3rd Rock from the Sun.
@@Quartzquiz333 o yes I forgot about that
Alien in suburban USA, what a novel idea ... 😴
By diabolical design?
I do enjoy Small Wonder, no matter how cheesy, corny, and ridiculous it was for its time. At least it’s more charming and much better than meego and aliens in the family combined.
Meego was no ALF!
Jonathan Lipnicki?I thought it was Ian Michael Smith
This brought back a lot of memories, just in a different way! XD
Now I do remember when Family Matters switched networks as well as actors because my mom and I found FM on CBS for some reason and the mom character was a completely different actress. It was at that moment we stopped watching Family Matters because after that, and the sad passing of the actress who played Myra, the show just wasn't fun anymore. Sabrina on the other hand got my full attention not just because of the TV movie but because after growing up watching Clarissa Explains it All on Nick, I was super excited to watch Melisa Jone Heart in something else and it was through her version of Sabrina that was fully introduced to the comics, especially since Archie did a rebrand of the series to fit the tone of the new show.
I mean, to get an idea on how much Archie was capitalizing on this, they had the new version of Sabrina do a cross over with SONIC THE HEDGEHOG because they also published comics with him and yes, I did order that issue simply for that. Not to mention, they also syndicated an animated series with Melisa's sister staring as a middle-school age version of the same character (sort of breaking the continuity since the live action version stated that Sabrina started showing off her powers in HIGHSCHOOL when in the cartoon show, she had powers since she was a toddler) and this went on for a VERY long time. Sabrina has always been a classic Archie character but I think it was the new live action version that sort of rekindled a lot of her popularity.
But getting back on topic I don't remember Meego AT ALL despite it being on at a time where we would have watched it. Maybe I saw a print advertisement or two but as far as the show goes, I can't recall it all but it's funny. I wasn't introduced to Bronso through this or Perfect Stranger but rather The Langoliers where he played someone who acted more like an alien than the actual alien he was playing. I think the guy is a great actor but he seems to pop up in really weird roles. I know he played Stan Laurel ('s nephew) in a botched attempt to bring back Laurel and Hardy so to see him in something like this? On one hand it makes sense but on the other....this was wild.
When Disney bought... that's really all you had to say.
I thought THE GREGORY HINES SHOW was excellent and wish it had more of a chance, maybe on a better night.
Thanks! Great reminders of why I loathe the entire sitcom genre.
I assiduously avoided watching or even owning a TV all throughout the 80s,90s,2000s and 2010s. Now I'm making up for it by watching this hot garbage on RUclips.
Bronson Pinchot also had the awful The Trouble With Larry.
Despite that, he's a very arrogant guy.
Do you know him personally?
From 1996 to the present was the downfall of sitcoms, but with a few good sitcoms along the way, of course.
What does burn off mean for tv same goes for scrapped
Burn off, as in play the remaining episodes of a television show that has already been canceled. If a show is shelved, the show is not seen again on the network including any remaining unaired episodes.
@@Quartzquiz333 thanks
Well, let's put it this way. It's better than that alien monstrosity Marvin Marvin with that guy who played the loudmouth Fred Figglehorn on Nickelodeon. Yeah, it's Fred as an alien, so ... there's a difference?
Lucas Cruikshank?! UGH!!! I'm kinda glad both Fred: The Show and Marvin Marvin had over 13 weeks on Nickelodeon so we more than likely won't be subject to either on this channel!
@@Quartzquiz333 Damn straight there. How the hell did Cruikshank get popular anyway?
@@kali3665 I sure as hell don't know! That might have been the worst period in the history of Nickelodeon! The channel that once gave us You Can't Do That on Television, Double Dare and classic Ren and Stimpy was reduced to showing that crap!
Jacob Bertrand from looking at it was the main breakout star of Marvin Marvin. It shows, given he has a role on Cobra Kai.
Lucas Cruikshank- has he been heard from since?
Holy Pig Snot this is Bad!
This show was dreadful! Other 13 episode shows that would qualify "The Ben Stiller Show" and Mary Tyler Moore's ill-fated 1985 sitcom "Mary" the producers actually instructed Moore how to do comedy... Mary f**king Tyler Moore, comedy! Exactly 13 episodes.
I never heard of that crapfest. Other than Serge, in Beverly Hills Cop, I never liked Pinchot.
That is one rancid show alright.
The Meego character looks a blatant Mork ripoff
Ugh... I remember this pile when it aired and felt a deep hurting. Humanity had pulled it off finally- the ruination of our civilization!
The kid was too small. Pinchot was too stupid.
Ohhhh, these were for baby millennials! I didn't watch shows like this in my 30's which might be why I do not understand millennials and vise versa!?!?!? Interesting tho!
