The 1993 ABC Sitcom called George - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

This shows STINKS, George Foreman could not act at all and his wife and her kids did not respect him. Since when do kids constantly crack jokes about a grown ass man and he lets it Happen?-lol

I did laugh ONCE when one of the kids told George Foreman that he was a "OLD, BALD, FAT JOKE"

lol. Other than that I could see why this show lasted 10 eps

this was one of those shows i REALLLLLLLY WANTED to get
as i never saw it originally
and FINALLY after searching i found all 10 eps
and was thrilled

popped in the discs

and the show was junk

not bad, not funny, just DULL AND BLAND

very disappointed

I've never seen it, but I'm sure I know somebody who has all 10 episodes.

That's why I'm currently looking to trade my 2 Discs of George away because the show was CRAP. If those 10 eps was from ABC with commercials instead of TV ONE i would have kept them

im sorry, but since tvresearcher started this thread, i wont mention the fact that YES INDEED, i do have all 10 eps on dvd

but seriously

George Foreman is such a jolly and likable guy
and he has such charisma
he seems like a natural for a tv sitcom

i wish they could have spent the time to actually hire good writers, it could have been a hit!

I remember this show, hated it! Those kids couldn't act their way out of a hefty trash bag!!!!! If I wanted to learn a lesson then i'll watch Full House or PBS

Did you forget abt Bookman on Good Times? How many times was he called names, not only by kids but by adults. How many times can the same ol' gag run over and over and over again? Once was enough.

Yeah but George had a TOUGH looking exterior, Bookman didn't-lol

You said, "Since when do kids make a crack abt a grown ass man"...you didn't say A TOUGH LOOKING GUY...

This show sucked MAJORLY.

I think what made the show odd was that George didn't look like a pushover and the kids still wasn't afraid to disrepect him-lol

I see this thread hasn't been active in four years, but...

Anyone still have these episodes? I'm looking for some information about Alyson Hannigan. She apparently had a guest appearance in one of them. I would be EXTREMELY grateful if someone could tell me (1) which episode(s) was she in, (2) what role did she play (name of character, etc.), and (3) where I might obtain either a clip or the episode(s) she appeared in?

Thanks!

I think I vaguely recall George Foreman having a TV show some years ago....... obviously it wasn't a big hit. Or if it was, I guess it was hitting below the belt.
