Nell and the Kid episode - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Bonniegirl · 08-30-2018, 06:42 PM

I just saw this one right now ! The one with the little orphan girl who shoplifted from the deli where Nell was shopping , guest starring Don Rickles! It seemed to me that they might be trying to do a backdoor pilot and have this be a new TV series! Did anyone else think that? It would have been good. The ep. was really good and I liked Don Rickles and this little girl together. They were funny exchanging quips and insults!

I remember seeing it on Antenna, and thinking it was just plain awful. Couldn't believe a talented comedian like Don Rickles lowered himself to being on this awful show!

Not true. He also did a Murphy Brown, so he sunk much much lower.

I found this in a book I have about spinoffs. It was tricky to photograph (because the book is hard to lay flat), so let's see how readable it posts.

Wow!! I hope you are kidding?

The way we joke cause I like this show and you don't and the Andy Gibb thing from before !

So maybe you are posting this in fun?

Because this was a really nice , sweet ep. Don Rickles , (and Nell too) were sweethearts , having a heart for this little girl and not letting her go into the juvenile hall system and be arrested and get into foster care or worse / jail !

It showed a sweet soft side to Don Rickles (yet he stayed true to his funny insulting self)

!

He saw this poor orphan child who was shoplifting and ripping his store off was actually really desperate and hungry and a sweet little girl at heart ,

not a juvenile delinquent and he took her in and even wanted to adopt her !

It showed Don Rickles in a really good light!

He should be proud he took this role!

Like in the Postscript it said how Mr. Rickles was actually very nice and kind in real life.

Here is a very sweet video of Don and Jonathan Silverman from 2016 having dinner and discussing family, faith, Neil Simon, careers, etc.

I think it was fairly common knowledge Rickles was a sweetheart off stage. Otherwise he couldn't get away with the things he said on stage !

It was just a desperate attempt to spin off what would've been an awful show (around the level of GAB's awfulness). Maybe if it had been another show:/

Wondering if you got a chance to watch the video! ? Being that you are Jewish I think you might find it entertaining and relate to it!

I loved it and I'm not Jewish, you know how I love Jewish people!!

No, because you never watched the 30 second clip I left you in muddle.

Or maybe you did watch it and forgot to mention it.

Or maybe you mentioned watching it and I didn't see the post.

Or maybe......oh screw it, I'll just go watch the Rickles video...

Wow, I thought I was going to be bored and have to lie to you, but I actually liked it and got into it

I know!!!! That cracked me up!!

Jonathan thought it was pretty funny too!

After watching this I want to have a" Break the fast " party for my Jewish friends , which would be in a few weeks!!

Wildchats · 09-13-2018, 03:06 AM

I was right! "The Last Word", which was the name of the restaurant, was gonna be the name of that show which was Gimme A Break's 3rd spinoff attempt. The restaurant was previously called "Two Guys From Greece"....that's what I thought the title was gonna be, but that was the "previous" name of the restaurant. They had changed it to "The Last Word". I caught onto this a while ago as I kept thinking it was gonna be called the other title, but then realized the name was changed, and it sounded so much better for a title.
