Unhappily Ever After

I'm not actually embarrased to say that I liked this show but the only reason I tuned in was to fantasize about Nikki Cox.

I don't even remember what the show was about but I know her father had a muppet in the basement (which I found stupid even back then), the mother got killed off and brought back without explanation, one son went on to Entourage and the youngest one went to Malcolm in the Middle.

I actually would like to see this come to DVD. It hasn't been released or even aired in years.

California Dreams - Surf dudes with attitudes - Ouch!!!!! Pretty bad.

But in my defense, the girls were hot!

Oh God, how can I forget THIS?! Same here.

Also Mister Rogers, and pretty much any other show I watched when I was 6.

One kid's show I watched and still like today for sentimental reasons is The New Zoo Review. Adults in animal costumes Freddy the frog, Henrietta Hippo, and Charlie the Owl, with hosts Doug and Emmy Jo who were real.

Geoffrey Pierson was on that show, right? He also appeared on Grace Under Fire and is now married to actress Cali Timmons. They met while both starring on the now-defunct ABC soap Ryan's Hope.

Speaking of Nikki Cox - what did she do to herself?? Talk about overbotoxed - she looks awful!!

Yes, Pierson was Mr. Malloy with that muppet. In recent years he had short stints on 24 and Dexter which I've seen him on.

I don't know what's up with Nikki Cox. Don't know why she did that to herself.

I also never got into Nikki. I started to watch it, again, just because of her but the show was so bad that I couldn't watch it anymore after a few viewings.

I remember that show! It's still airing in reruns on at least 2 channels on Skyangel. Chuck Woolery was a semi-regular playing Mr. Dingle the Mailman. Last I heard, Doug and Emmy Jo were still married after 35 years
