    oh I liked Still Standing quite a bit when it was on—it was actually laugh out loud funny for a CBS family centered sitcom. I was kinda sad CBS didn't let it run another year so it could've passed 100 eps. Mark Addy was the closest I'd ever seen to a live action version of Homer Simpson and he captured him very, very

    its on now! I was also enjoying it—thought it made a surprisingly good hour paired up with About A Boy and I can't see the new Marry Me show from the creator of Happy Endings being a better fit alongside it content wise.

    He really needs a show…I'd hate to think of Heroes as being the high point of his tv career ratings wise.

    its pretty decent to semi soild—but I don't want you to get your hopes up—because I was fairly underwhelmed by the first ep or four—-I'd say around episode five or six tho shit starts solidifying to the point that it approaches decent compelling-ish tv survival drama. (although the subplots up aboard the space station

    TUVIX!!!!!

    TUVIX!!!!

    son of a gun it is!

    TUVIX!!!!

    they should have a celebrity jeopardy where the answer ends up being the celebrity on the show!

    "So far, so blah." if that's not a great opening line for my future autobiography than I don't know what else could possibly top it!

    I never saw Fish. Always wondered if it was actually funny or if it was merely blah. Did you know Abe Vigoda also did a voice on the short lived "Fish Police" as well? If they ever do another prime time half hour show with Fish in the title I believe he'd legally entitled to be in that show's cast!

    I would actually be interested in reading a decade later defense of Yes Dear. (well near decade I guess—it ran from '00-'06…probably could've ran another year or two but CBS wanted out of the family friendly sitcoms—they cancelled the still perfectly funny "Still Standing" that same season as well—and seemed to want

    with Ed Begley Jr as the Momax leader!!!!

    I also wanted to say that this was a very well written article—very well researched and well cited footnotes as well—you've probably put in more thought into the dissecting of this show than the writers/producers of the thing when it was actually in production. It almost quite honestly makes me wanna go back and see

    its 4:30.

    I didn't know this was one of those 10/90 shows. Wow. On the one hand Comedy Central would've undoubtedly used the episodes for rerun filler…giving probably even more money to Gethard because of the eventual residuals he would've received…on the other hand he probably would've been miserable having to do this every

    2 Hot 2 Fuzz.
    (oh god that would actually work!!!!)

    Quick Commander Chakotay get out the way—the Momax are right on our tail! Yep this fits very nicely.

    Remember when Tuvok and Nelix were merged together into one in a transporter accident and they became TUVIX?!?!?!?!?
    TUVIX!!!!
    NOW IS THE TIME FOR TUVIX!
    NOW IS THE TUVIX OF OUR DISCONTENT!!!!

    Star Trek Voyager!!!!
    (no I yeah I just wanna see a commenter start posting under one of the secondary characters of Voyager the way Rappin' Jake Cisco did….I don't know something like The Amazing Limboin' Neelix or something—The Ever Smilin' Chakotay—-The Mutatin' Lizzardin' Tom Paris—something Voyager related!!!)
