I'd like to get all of the episodes of this show. If you have them and are willing to share, please let me know. It starred the late great Wendie Jo Sperber. I remember watching it and thinking it was hysterical. :lol:

Post even if you remember the show. Thanks! :)

Short-Lived Sitcom Potpourri (XIII) (https://jacksonupperco.com/2022/08/17/short-lived-sitcom-potpourri-xiii/)

Thoughts: Co-created by a Golden Girls scribe, this jokey series (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babes_(TV_series)) about three plus-size sisters exists as a very early entry in the ‘90s’ “friends/hangout” subgenre of domestic sitcom, with an emphasis on their romantic fortunes, as all are single (after Sperber’s beau Rick Overton departs mid-run). The comedic bent of Babes’ scripts skews broader though, with physical humor and snappy one-liners — plus an initial overabundance of “fat jokes,” which burn off over time but always remain a foundational part of the series’ situation, for these women’s looks, and the way they feel about themselves, inform so much of their emotional depth, not to mention their comic identities. However, the results are surprisingly affable — thanks largely to the three stars, who provide an elemental humanity that counters some of the bombast in the writing, and any offense we might take with how their weight is used for ha-has is partially allayed by noticing how it’s also used to give them an interior life, making them sympathetic and dramatically evolvable.
