Overall...it was well done. I can't believe they interviewed Nell in 2002 (recently). Maybe there were plans of doing the E! True Story even before she died?
I am glad the three girls were interviewed. Telma was interviewed too.
I am very glad they used the theme song. They used it to introduce the (GIMME A BREAK) slogan for the E! True Story which was clever to do. They used the first season theme and the 5th-6th season theme. I am glad they did that. It was nice to hear the first and final versions of the theme.
No mention of characters like (Uncle Ed, Maxine, Grandpa, Simpson, Mama Maybelle or Marty though). This is what they needed to add which wasn't there. They should have notified the viewers what years Grandpa, Simpson and Mama Maybelle passed away.
I learned interesting things that I never knew. One interesting thing was that at the wrap-up party of the 6th season, the cast knew then that they were cancelled, and Nell was in an emotional sadness.
Kari was happy to be fired from the show, yet Lauri was mad because she jsut bought her own house and needed money. Lara Jill, although being on the show a few times in the final year, was also fired just as were the other two girls.
Time slots did hurt the show, as well as the Cosby Show, which was a show about a high class family.
Overall I was happy with what they did. Although they needed to mention the other characters I mentioned above. They also didn't talk about the LIVE EPISODE they aired in 1985.
Gimme A Break went into Syndication just prior to the shows cancellation, which is strange. I always thought it went into syndication like earlier on, since they kept showing re-runs. Is this the same thing as what syndication is, or is it when they show it on a whole different network rather than the netowork it originally aired on, since the show did have re-runs on NBC throught it's first few years.
I think this will give Gimme A Break the comeback it needs!
