I vaguely remember watching this when it aired.

It's too bad that it was canceled after the pilot. It would have been so nice to have Nick off of Family Ties.

Nick was annoying, like a 1980's Fonzie.

Nick getting hit by a bus would have been the funniest scene he has ever been in.

I kind of like the Nick character on "Ties".Underneath the inescapably earthy surface lies a man of highly honorable values and virtue,which also applies in the cases of Fonzie and "Taxi's" Tony Banta.

I hope this, amongst other things, will be included as an extra on a Season 7 DVD release.:) :cool:

Yeah nick was a dork funny guy lol

If there was one character on Family Ties who didn't deserve a spinoff it was definitely Nick. Don't get me wrong, he's alright in small doses, just not as the main character on a show. :lol:

The only reason I wish the spin-off had worked is that it would have gotten Nick off Family Ties. He was barely totalerable in the one episode of his show The Art Of Being NIck. I couldn't stand him on Family Ties. The actor himself is ok, I just hated the Nick character..

You know I never missed an episode of Family Ties when it was originally on but I somehow miss this show. I wonder what I was doing? lol

That's cool that you never missed an episode of Family Ties when it was originally on Sonny. It's the best show ever, imo. :)

It was the best sitcom of the 1980's that's for sure. :)

Nick was basically Rocky Balboa in a sitcom. :lol: I just never really liked him and Mallory as a couple. I thought most of his interactions with Alex and Steven were great though. They should have made him a neighbor instead.

I'm reading the wikipedia page for this show and the funniest thing about it is they actually produced 3 different versions of the spinoff. :lol: I'd like to see the other 2 sometime. Just a morbid curiosity. ;)

Make him as a neighbor and put Mallory and Skippy together.

Yeah, I never liked Nick and Mallory as a couple either.

The main thing for me was the age difference between the actors. Scott is 8 years older than Justine and he looked like he was in his 30's on FT. :lol:

Skippy and Mallory together would have been interesting. :lol: Maybe a slow buildup to it, but not as long as Tony and Angela on Who's the Boss.

I agree. Skippy and Mallory were much more suited for each other. I agree they could have built up the storyline of Skippy and Mallory getting together as a couple. It's a shame that the writers didn't pursue that.

To me Nick and Mallory together were funny however at times not totally believable once she went to college. I would have thought by that time she would have different interests and ideas. I know when I went to college my ideas about who my friends were and who I would want to date were different than in High School. College opened my eyes to new ideas, interests and personalities.

For me personally, I liked Nick Moore just fine. He and Mallory made a good couple. Skippy is also hilarious too, but I don't know that Mallory would have really gone for him- as she had made it clear in various episodes that she's not really interested.
