It's too bad that it was canceled after the pilot. It would have been so nice to have Nick off of Family Ties.

Nick was annoying, like a 1980's Fonzie.

Nick getting hit by a bus would have been the funniest scene he has ever been in.

I kind of like the Nick character on "Ties".Underneath the inescapably earthy surface lies a man of highly honorable values and virtue,which also applies in the cases of Fonzie and "Taxi's" Tony Banta.

I hope this, amongst other things, will be included as an extra on a Season 7 DVD release.

If there was one character on Family Ties who didn't deserve a spinoff it was definitely Nick. Don't get me wrong, he's alright in small doses, just not as the main character on a show.

The only reason I wish the spin-off had worked is that it would have gotten Nick off Family Ties. He was barely totalerable in the one episode of his show The Art Of Being NIck. I couldn't stand him on Family Ties. The actor himself is ok, I just hated the Nick character..

You know I never missed an episode of Family Ties when it was originally on but I somehow miss this show. I wonder what I was doing? lol

That's cool that you never missed an episode of Family Ties when it was originally on Sonny. It's the best show ever, imo.

It was the best sitcom of the 1980's that's for sure.

Nick was basically Rocky Balboa in a sitcom.

I just never really liked him and Mallory as a couple. I thought most of his interactions with Alex and Steven were great though. They should have made him a neighbor instead.

I'm reading the wikipedia page for this show and the funniest thing about it is they actually produced 3 different versions of the spinoff.

I'd like to see the other 2 sometime. Just a morbid curiosity.

Yeah, I never liked Nick and Mallory as a couple either.

Make him as a neighbor and put Mallory and Skippy together.
