I would love it if they aired this.

Kristoff St John is pretty well known.

It was stupid to air that show at 9pm. It was a family show and should have been aired at 8pm. And when CBS did put it in the 8pm slot in was in July after the 1st season was completed. Too late by that time LOL

That's true and back then no new show had a chance against Dynasty. Maybe they thought that the family audience was watching Highway to Heaven at 8 but that show was still easier to go against then Dynasty.

Since the show was a obvious response to the Cosby Show, CBS should have placed it at 8pm on Thursdays lol


Strange that only Webster, and Who's the Boss were the only comedies at 8pm during the week

I remember watching this show during its original run. And there was some channel that I had on my satellite dish that played reruns of it during the early 90's. I used to play with a tape recorder when I was a kid. A few years ago I was going through the old cassettes and one of them had an 8 year old me talking about this show.

I didn't watch Dynasty. I was watching "Charlie and Company". BET aired reruns one year later. I loved the show in part because Jaleel White was in it.
