As soon as I found this on Amazon Prime I knew I had to binge this. I was just a kid in the 80s but this was one of those shows that I enjoyed watching. Never mind the fact that it was a lot of adult humor that I was too young to understand, but it was shows like this that had that fun and innocent comedy that even appealed to kids like me. I remember watching this nightly when it went into syndication with its companion show, "That's Incredible" (another lost gem I would like to rediscover).
Prior to reliving my being an audience member the show, the only personalities I remembered were Sarah Purcell, Byron Allen, and Peter Billingsley. As soon as I started watching, I remembered the rest of the cast such as Skip Stephenson, John Barbour, and Fred Willard whom I completely forgot was on the show. I was like, "Oh yeaaaaah. So-and-so was on this show, too!" It felt as if I have seen these actors (among some of the others not mentioned) in a bunch of other things over the years since, but I was surprised to find that (with the exception of Fred Willard), they didn't do a lot gigs since the show. But I tell you. It all seemed like just yesterday that I was watching these people on TV.
Nowadays, audiences would yawn at the material but for me, it was a wonderful trip down memory lane. The nostalgic value alone was enough to keep me smiling throughout my binge.
Thank you to the cast (and production and crew), both living and departed, for holding a place in my memory and my heart and for being a part of this aging guy's life.
