    Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
    SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
    Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
    Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
    preppy-3 If you liked "Soap" you'll like this. It's about a crazy family with evil sister Denise Sandler (Teri Garr) and good sister Charlotte. It just involved Denise trying to get everything her way and will do anything to get it. Naturally they have some very unusual family members and friends.This aired for only a few months in 1991. In fact it was the first new show that was cancelled! I never figured out why. It was funny, racy (for 1991) and kept pushing the envelope every chance it got. Garr was just great in her role--she was clearly relishing every moment she was on screen. Also it had a blind character (played by Mark Blankfield) who accidentally destroys a laboratory completely while trying to help Charlotte. That came under attack by a group for blind people but it was repeated again a week or two later! I have to admit I was in hysterics both times I saw it. He also accidentally kisses another man on the lips--pretty risky for 1991.It was WAY ahead of its time and was probably too much for 1991 audiences. I think it would be a hit today. Where's the DVD release? I give this a 10.
    ian_j_courter I remember watching this show when it first aired. It was refreshing, creative, and a little risqué. I believe it was during one of the network strikes and was done as a filler. The use of the ludicrous and non-PC physical humor was great. The opening scene of the Sherpas finding the frozen explorer and debating whether to retrieve him set the tone for the whole first episode...who knew Sherpas could be funny! The blind gentleman destroying everything he touched was a return to more of the physical comedy of an earlier era.Presently trying to track down which network aired it and if it will be on DVD sometime in the future. Definitely doesn't deserve to sit on a warehouse shelf unwatched. Four stars!
    hero Very funny show---great cast----unfortunately prematurely canceled when some unduly sensitive people were offended. If it ever shows itself, see rich performances by Teri Garr, Mark Blankfield and Seth Green! If this show had premiered today, it would have stood well against comedies such as ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT. I believe Mark Blankfield's character's "visually challenged" antics would have met with contempt or "outrage"if viewed today.He simply, and comically, waves his blindness cane about with some hilarious consequences. In the same era, another extremely well cast comedy, "THE POWERS THAT BE", succumbed to studio neglect, placement of show with immense promise on a Saturday night schedule. If it is ever rerun, catch a suicidal, obsessive-compulsive congressman played by the great David Hyde Pierce.
    espice Good & Evil was the funniest show since Soap was cancelled and I actually only really loved Soap for maybe the first 2 years then it went lame . Any how , Good & Evil was from the get go hiliarius .Teri Garr was the sexy yet funny character that made the entire show ! I loved the character George too , he was beyond funny !!! Seth Green was really great playing Garr's son and the entire cast all went perfect together . Good & Evil I heard was cancelled because of all the bad press they got from making fun of a blind man and a mute girl .I have nearly the entire show on video and watch it regularly and laugh until my sides hurt . I am telling all who read this if at all possible watch and laugh , seek it out because Good & Evil is like no other show ever ..... it rules and is the best comedy show ever !!!
