The Gary Shandling Show

Malcolm in the Middle

I also liked the theme to Chico and the Man, but for some reason, I really couldn't get into the show. Granted, I haven't seen the show in a few years.

It wasn't the greatest theme, but it was catchy. As for the show, it just didn't click with me.

Have no idea how that show was #4 in the ratings after season 1, maybe it was because it had sanford and son as a lead in

That's entirely plausible, although I am not sure if Freddie Prinze was a big time comedian before the show.

no, he wasn't. When he appeared on THE TONIGHT SHOW, James Komack (the producer) spotted him for the show. He adutioned, got the role and the rest is history.

Since when is ass an adjective? Or maybe you meant you felt like an ass for watching it.

People here in Philly describe a Bad Show by saying it's ASS-lol I know it sounds dumb but that's just how things are in this city

Do they use other terms, like something is dick or ***** as well? Do they use other nouns as adjectives?

Step by Step

Punky Brewster? I loved the show! Agree with you on Step by Step, one of the corniest shows ever, I even hated the theme song.

A list of Mine:
Family Matters(okay...the theme wasn't solid gold but it was alright!)
Full House
Moesha
Can I mention the American Bandstand ripoff Solid Gold?
