What was that one show called..?? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I'm trying to remember the name of this one show that I think aired on abc in 1993-1994(?) and I don't think lasted more than a season or two. The main character was a blonde chick who was a tennis player and lived at home with her family... Other details about the show escape me. I just remember that the actress wore pleated plaid skirts (a school uniform?) and carried a tennis racket. Anyone know this one?? Help!

Could it be "Phenom"?

Yeah, sounds like "Phenom."

Awesome! 10,000 Thanks! It's really a shame that this show didn't last longer, I enjoyed watching it. That actress Angela Goethals who played the girl is a hot looking babe!! I guess there isn't much of a chance of the show coming out on DVD then??

I loved this show when it came out, it was very good, got alot of praise from critics, and if I remember right, the ratings weren't that terrible for it. I wish ABC would have given it more of a chance.

You're very welcome

I really liked this show when I was little, I don't remember much except I loved her older brother Brian he was really funny. I would love to see it on tv again or on DVD.

I think it would great to release it on DVD now because they could promote William Devane who is now on 24 this season as well as Angela Goethals who played Driscoll's daughter. It was too bad they weren't in the same scene together.

If they did release it on DVD I bet alot of Judith Light fans would buy it just for the fact alone that she was in it

L&OFan4Eva · 04-25-2005, 07:09 PM

I'd buy it too! I LOVED Phenom! It should've lasted longer.

jrb_wi · 04-30-2005, 02:30 AM

Was Chris Elliott on that show? (I'm still

issed that we couldn't get Fox when Get a Life was on.)

Mr. Television · 04-30-2005, 02:52 AM

I used to love Phenom. I couldn't believe ABC Canceled it.

Madness · 05-01-2005, 12:16 AM

No Chris Elliot was not in this but the brother(Todd Louiso) was balding like him so it's easy to confuse the two.

This really was a great show, though.

Felix Na Vi Da · 05-01-2005, 01:33 PM

I started an official Phenom thread in the spinoff section woulds anyone like to talk about this awesome show in there?
