Yeah I tried watching a few episodes, I just couldn't get into it. Apparently it had a cult following and was on a few years. Cool theme song though :)

I don't have a Netflix account anymore, but I picked up the Complete Series DVD set not long ago. It sells for about $20. Not too bad for six seasons. I stopped after Season 2 but have been considering starting it up again. I tend to hate sitcoms with a passion, but Married with Children and 3rd Rock are the two glaring exceptions.

ABSOLUTELY AGREE! I love Harry's logic and how mortified Albright is!

I like the two-parter where they experienced dreaming for the first time (yes, I know it was part of a "3-D Night" gimmick, but it was still done very well).

I used to love the show, but like other sitcoms that have a "fantasy" theme like Alf, The Addams family, and Bewitched, it started losing its sparkle after a couple of seasons.

It was pretty funny how they were all terrified of green Jello.

Yup, loved that show when it was aired, watched all of it again marathon style, about two years ago. John Lithgow was perfect for that part, and Kristen Johnston as Sally cracked me, especially in the first few seasons when she was discovering her role as a woman, lol.

Which goes to show how versatile an actor he is. :D
