I agree with the sentiments expressed by most here about AntennaTV, though. They really sh*t in my sugarbowl when they changed their lineup last July. I had really gotten used to the two episodes of NEWHART from 1 to 2, then a classic Johnny Carson episode, followed by two episodes of WHAT'S HAPPENING? and then two episodes of MR. BELVEDERE. Why mess with perfection?



When I first started watching MR. BELVEDERE on AntennaTV, it really blew my mind. I had watched a few episodes of the show as a kid, when it originally aired, but had been under the impression that it was only on for a couple of seasons. At any rate, I lost interest in it around late winter-early spring of 1986, and kinda forgot about it, after that point. There may've been a time slot change involved, too. I really can't remember. I just remember that, for the first couple of seasons, it came on Friday nights. But, from what I saw, watching it on AntennaTV for about six months, I'm assuming it must've lasted right up to about 1990 or so. (Was somewhat amused by the Bush-Dukakis references in one episode. )



The ones that I remembered from back in the day were the one where Wesley didn't get invited to the popular kid's party, so Belvedere and his parents threw a party for him and invited all the nerdy/weird kids, the one where Kevin was playing drums in this goofy band and they made him bark during "How Much Is That Doggie In The Window", the one where Kevin was dating the Amish chick, the one where Kevin got a speeding ticket and his Mom defended him in court, and the one where George decided to quit his job as a sportswriter and pursue a singing career, even though he couldn't really sing. That last one had a special appearance by Robert Goulet, as did another one, where Belvedere went to Atlantic City, looking for Heather.



I always thought the actress that played Marsha was really hot. Fun fact: Like the Mom on ALF, she got her start on THREE'S COMPANY.

I don't think it was a time slot change that made you lose interest. The show always ran on Fridays up until the sixth season commenced in 1989, when it was moved to Saturdays to make room for Family Matters.

Wow...give me Belvedere over Urkel.

She had over 25 credits including regular appearances on Marcus Welby and Emergency before appearing on Threes Company. And neither did Ilene Graff she had been on quite a few things and was a regular on Lewis And Clark before appearing on Threes Company.

I'm vaguely aware of the show, LEWIS AND CLARK, but I never actually saw an episode.



As for MARCUS WELBY and EMERGENCY, I always make it a point to change the channel when those shows come on. Aside from THE TWILIGHT ZONE and PERRY MASON, I never much cared for televised drama. I'm all about sitcoms, C-SPAN and The History Channel.



At any rate, I knew THREE'S COMPANY was before MR. BELVEDERE and ALF, so that was my only reference point, where those women were concerned.

In addition to Lewis and Clark, Ms. Graff was also a regular on the infamous NBC flop Supertrain, where her co-stars included Harrison Page, later to play Captain Trunk on Sledge Hammer!, which would become involved in a very notorious feud with Mr. Belvedere. Amusingly, both Mr. Belvedere and Sledge Hammer! are now actually sister properties due to 20th Century Fox's then parent company, News Corporation, buying out Sledge Hammer!'s production company, New World Television.

Sounds like quite a discussion here
