Steineded How sad is this?

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

snap07801 I remember something about John Caponera demanding more money per episode. NBC had just plugged the show by airing an episode after the Super Bowl, and people liked the show. Unfortunately, air-times were changed, and I got the impression that when NBC heard Caponera's demands, they were like "you're not all that", and rewarded him with a cancellation.I'm surprised nobody mentioned Justin Berfield who went on to star in "Unhappily Ever After" and "Malcolm In The Middle". I never saw Jake Patella after that series, and barely saw Eve Gordon.I'll be first on the list if they ever release this show on DVD. I think I have one episode on tape, the Marry Lou Murray episode. "Ahh, we'll always have tape."

turtleturk Way too short of a run. They sure squeezed a load o' laughs into 13 episodes and I loved 'em all. One the biggest laughs ever came from this show when Tommy wanted to surprise himself with a gift he sent to himself. When asked how it could be a surprise, he explained: I pick some things I do like and some things I don't like in a catalog, copy the cat. #'s only down, jumble them up, pick one and order it. It shows up, he opens it and proceeds to grumble about what a piece of crap gift he just got. Then Drew takes it. Not too funny in my little synopsis, but it was great on the show. Wish I could see it again on DVD. The episode where John takes his son to the track on a school day is a riot too. And a note for the Drew fans out there that aren't familiar with this show. He was the cool guy that got the hot chickies, believe it or not---and he was a riot. I do happen to have the episode where his son's class visits the lock warehouse on "What My Dad Does For A Living Day." I'm desperate to get the rest of the shows. Hope to see the DVD someday.

tgibbs279 Absolutely hilarious sitcom! It had a fresh, distinctive comic tone, unlike anything else on the air before or since. The acting was great, the writing was crisp, and the situations and characters were unique. And above all, it wasn't just another sex-sex-sex sitcom, like every OTHER show on TV. So naturally, it was misinterpreted by critics, ignored by audiences, and only lasted a few months.Caponera and Carey had a fantastic chemistry. If the show had lasted, we'd be talking about them as one of TV's great teams. Eve Gordon was hot(and funny) as Caponera's wife. The whole cast was good. They had a fantastic rapport."The Good Life" ran two or three months, tops. It's just another example of NBC squandering a good show while they keep garbage on the air for years. "The Good Life" and a wonderful Al Franken sitcom called "Lateline" got the shaft while junk like "Suddenly Susan" ran for years. What a way to run a railroad!One fast anecdote: in one episode, Monty Hoffman's character Tommy is playing ping-pong when the boss walks through the office. Instead of scrambling to get back to work, Tommy just shrugs and says "Good thing I'm union!" I still use that line.Where can we get this gem on tape? I'd buy every episode offered without hesitation.

adamcook This show, while only on for a few months with 13 episodes, was one of the funniest sitcoms that I can remember. I was surprised when it was taken off the air. If anyone has any information on how I may be able to get a hold of tapes of this show, please email me (note: those "00" are zeros)
