I'm only joking-LOL These are two shows that I will be watching all day because I received new eps of That's mY mama and been recording Laverne and Shirley all week and will see if I like either of these shows. So far both shows have been OK but not on the level of The Jeffersons and Three's Company

Ohh god.... I thought you were serious.
You've never seen L&S?!
Wow.... you're really missing out.
If you like Three's Company and/or Happy Days.... you'll be sure to like it.

And wouldnt "That's My Mama" be compared more to something more like "Good Times" or "What's Happening" than "The Jeffersons"

So far the chracter on who stands out is SQUIGGY. And for That's My Mama is Average. Not really below average. Better than the UPN shows Today.

Squiggy is definately the best character on the show.
But I like Laverne too.

THe difference compared to those shows was That's My Mama was a LAIDBACK Comedy. The Jeffersons, Good Times and What's Happening were not.

I agree that The Jeffersons and Good Times werent laid back.

But What's Happening definately was.
Thats what I liked about the show.... it was just for fun.
It never set out to be groundbreaking or award-winning.... it was just fun entertainment.
