It was a huge staple on Nick At Nite in the early 90's. I don't know how long it lasted, but it was in heavy rotation around '92 and '93.

I thought he was successful on "Lou Grant." It's a rare example of a spinoff that's quite different in tone from its parent show, but works just as well.

Or should we say, no love boat???

Love this show, one of my all-time favorites. I watched it constantly when it was on Nick At Nite in the early '90s.

Only thing I was aware of in '93 was Prodigy. It'd be another couple years before the internet entered my life.

To be, or not to be. . . not to be.

It's funnier than it has any right to be, for sure.

Huh huh, huh huh huh, he said "wee."

Admittedly, it could be a lot worse.

As long as they keep that guy who wrote the Monorail episode, they're gonna be just fine.

You know what I can't wait for: Last Action Hero. Arnold can do no wrong!

That twit.

It's depressing, but it's also hilarious. I'm a gigging musician, I surround myself with a whole bunch of gigging musicians, I don't think any of us set out to play the Midtown Global Farmer's Market on a random Saturday morning. We all had hopes of being bigger, but the reality is most people end up in less glamorous…

There's garbage in the water, there's poison in the sky, I guess it won't be long before we're all gonna die, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I think it's just an epic parody of a bunch of stuff. There's a little "Dust In The Wind" in the instrumental break, the piano chord at the end is kinda "Day In The Life," there's a definite Meatloaf aspect to it, etc.

@Prankster36:disqus I think you're missing the point - @avclub-a2bd92a4b5b334a8ad8d381dd31bd4c5:disqus was saying post-96, all of his ORIGINAL songs were direct style parodies, rather than original songs that leaned towards one style or another.

Absolute genius - placing "Ruby Tuesday" in the polka, ending with the line "still I'm gonna miss you," waiting a beat, then going into the falsetto part from "Miss You." Twenty five years later, that still cracks me up.

Melanie is so catchy, it would have worked with regular lyrics and been a nice late 80's college rock hit.

That song is insane. Featuring Dweezil on guitar!

"We crossed the state line about 6:39 and we saw the sign that said TWINE BALL EXIT FIFTY MILES!!" The way he sings that line is exactly the way Chapin would have, just making way too much out of an uninteresting detail.
