Which is the best of ABC's 80s Tuesday night comedies?

Chocoholic · 03-26-2003, 02:55 PM

I thought Growing Pains, Who's the Boss, and Coach were pretty good, but I absolutely despised Roseanne. I don't think the show itself is too bad. It's just that Roseanne Arnold is one of those people who really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really (you get the picture) annoys the crap outta me! Take Roseanne out of Roseanne, and I probably would have liked it a bit.

Growing Pains!

SBTB Geek · 03-26-2003, 08:24 PM

It's too hard to choose one, so I will rank them.

1. Roseanne
2. Who's The Boss?
3. Growing Pains

...and at a d i s t a n t fourth, Coach.

Roseanne, her show was hilarious. I never liked Coach or Growing Pains but I did like Who's The Boss?

Tuesday Weld · 03-26-2003, 11:06 PM

Rosanne is the only one of those that I liked.

AnaheimPMWitch · 03-26-2003, 11:10 PM

I liked both Growing Pains and Whos the Boss but Not Roseanne or Coach

I like Who's the Boss, Coach, Growing Pains.

Roseanne is one of my FAVORITE sitcoms. It ranks up there with Seinfeld. You have to admit, until the last season, Roseanne was HILARIOUS! And it rarely had that "cheesy" sitcom feel to it like the others you mentioned.

Yes I picked Roseanne also........ (When she was there)

It was really well done.......

icecream · 05-20-2025, 06:26 PM

Coach is fantastic. Growing Pains and Who's the Boss? are good. Roseanne, not at all a fan.

Dude111 · 05-20-2025, 06:45 PM

You didnt like Ms Barr icecream??

Thats ok.....I know alot didnt like her personality........ (I think thats why they had a fight and threw her off due to her comments)

Gosh hard to decide. I love all shows. But I have been thinking about Coach a lot lately and I hate that NBC passed on the revival. I was looking forward to it. Sure there was no Shelley Fabares but it would have been watchable. Hell, if I ran ABC I would have done an I love the 90s block on Tuesday nights with The Goldbergs 1990-something at 8, Fresh off the boat at 8:30 and the Roseanne and Coach revivals at 9:00 and 9:30 in their old time slots respectively.
