The few of us who saw this short run (9 episodes) show still smile when we think of it. And it was eleven years ago! I have a couple of them on tape and regret not taping all. I was just sure that a show this funny and clever and well written would go on and on and on. The cast was hard to beat, each a hoot in his own way. Carol Kane's southern got-the-vapors gal was only one highlight in casting. The first thing that was LOL funny and that made me know I was going to love these people was when I saw this scene. Paula was fried by her new, high pressure job. She needed to decompress. She had pulled off juggling her husband's and her schedule so they could go somewhere south. (remembering maracas and sombrero) As he walked in the door, she danced around singing about this vacation they were going to leave for immediately. He had something serious to say and she made him "sing it!" So, as she led him around the room, conga line style, he sang something like this; "You know my daughter.... (Si!) Her name is Sonja Russell...Well she was expelled from school today and she's coming to live here foreverrrrrrr......." Followed immediately by an earth shattering scream from Paula. Now THAT'S good TV. =)
