Nice effects though.

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

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.

I remember watching the show whenever I could. My NBC affiliate kept preempting it for garbage they were airing. I can remember the comment about the CFL teams. "What would you like to name yourselves?" "Rough Riders." "Nah... We've Already got a Rough Riders" "How about.... Rough Riders?" "C'mon, we need the teams..." Thank goodness Drew got his own vehicle, but what a shame that this dissolved away into nothing. The kids were cute, but I remember a guest appearance by one character later on Full House. I know that Drew even had him on his show as a guest once, too, but by then it was WAY too little, too late. It seemed like he was doing a dying man a favor. Or, how about the promo during the Olympics of the three-man Bobsled team. It didn't suffer from lack of promotion, just consistency, and local network support, along with LOW watching.

We absolutely loved this show when it was aired and we were highly disappointed when the show was canceled. It was canceled right before it hit it's prime. I don't think the networks know what they are doing when they cancel shows such as this, even today. You just get used to something and wham! It's gone. The networks need to keep listening to the viewers as we the viewers ultimately make the choices, I believe. It is the viewers who keep the ratings. The Good Life was one of the most hilarious shows around, I never saw my husband laugh so hard in his life. I hope this comes out on DVD/VHS soon as we'd buy without hesitation.Thanks.

The summer of '94 saw three replacement shows - "The Boys," "The Building," and "The Good Life" - that beat the hell out of the majority of network sanctioned tripe. Of the three, "The Good Life was easily the best. When Drew Carey hit it big, I hoped it might spark some interest in this forgotten gem, like say a run on a certain cable comedy channel. Alas, "The Good Life" remains buried in the annals of TV history, with only Drew's show and Shay Astar's role on "3rd Rock" as pale reminders of what once was. I fondly recall the episode in which those two discovered a mutual love of the Grateful Dead. Drew's tie-dye was a sight to behold. And "Don't forget to Clark the door!" - that should have gone down as one of TV history's classic lines.
