American Sitcoms

[Deuce Bigolo]

Strange how some shows never leave their country even if they are a hit

We In OZ get it all...the good,the bad and the downright ugly although i musy admit to not having seen a brit shows mentioned on here but thats more down to me not looking out for them

cheers

I don't remember him ever being funny just annoying especially in the 3 Amigos

I fact I'd go as far to say that he wasn't a bad straight man for John Candy in planes,trains & automobiles

The ultimate insult for a Comedian

Mmmmmmmmmmm, Terry Farrell. Wondered what happened to her when she left DS9.

As far as I'm aware, it hasn't aired on the terrestrial channels over here---not even at 3.30 in the morning.

The one that got away

Its all down to who ever buys the rights to the programs...possibly thought it wouldn't go over well in britain...who knows?

Ah, but I'm older than you, mate. He was funny in The Jerk and The Man With Two Brains. After Roxanne, he just became a sad, sad person (see also Chevy Chase).

[Deuce Bigolo]

I've seen those as well but can't remember them very well


I do recall some blonde with a body to die for with the worst voice this side of pluto in the man with 2 brains....kathleen turner trying to kill him?

That's the one. Ms Turner could be quite good in darkish comedies---the under-rated War Of The Roses, for example.

yes, wev'e covered this one, but again, well worth mentioning here are the excellent 'Larry Sanders Show' and 'Dream On' both had grown up words and nudity as well.
Soap was excellent, as was SOME of Taxi.....if you can stand fucking pretentious Judd Hirsch and loony Andy Kauffman
Remember, this is Sitcoms which means Situation Comedy, NOT drama's or other TV shows of the ilk.
Happy Days looks positively SHIT nowadays

[Deuce Bigolo]

Extremely underrated given that theirs a cromwell in the cast



As opposed to Romancing the Stone

Michael Douglas...thinly veiled attempt at being Indiana Jones IMO
