sitcom name? late 80's??? 3 couples in a 3 story house

[plowboy1970]

There was a sitcom with 3 couples that lived in a house owned buy one older black couple that lived on the first floor. The next floor up was a yuppy couple. The attic was newlyweds. I can't remember the name of the show. I thought it was good and wonder if any of the shows have been released.


Thanks!!!!!

Thanks!!!!!

One of the heavyset sisters from Amen was in it- Barbara Montgomery. Put her name into imdb.com and see what you find. She wasn't in Amen's last season (1990-91) because she was in this short lived series.

That was "Married People". I liked that show. I'm not sure why.

Glad to help.

Short-Lived Sitcom Potpourri (XIV)

Thoughts: This offering from two of the co-creators of The Nanny fails to indicate that popular series’ capacity for outrageously funny characters, as this typically structured ensemble comedy with three couples is awfully bland, with most of the pairings deriving definition solely from their age and/or race, with little distinction inside each pair as individuals. Oh, yes, star Thomas is the more laid-back creative type while his wife Armstrong is the strait-laced office worker — a theme sort of reversed with the younger couple — but stories rarely maximize that juxtaposition with comic proficiency, especially because these plots tend to be familiar and clichéd, with not a lot of unique material driven, or at least inspired, by the elements specific to this series. It’s not bad by any means, but it’s largely unmemorable — nothing stellar to celebrate.
