Anybody remember Lenny and Bless This House - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I have a couple and I wonder if anybody remembers them. Both were aired on CBS

1996 I think a show called "Lenny"

1997 "Bless this House" with Andrew Dice Clay

As I recall I thought they were both funny. They must have made an impression if I remember them.

Lenny starred comedian Lenny Clark (when he was thin) as a working class joe who held two jobs, one of them as a doorman of a hotel.

Wasn't too crazy about "Bless Ths House." Just couldn't see the Diceman as a family guy.

You were a little off on the year for Lenny. That show aired in 1990-1.

Come to think of it, both shows would probably have been pretty good paired up together; both had the same blue collar working class scenario.

Just because a show made an impression, doesn't mean it is funny. I mean the worst of the worst sitcoms will make an impression too. Who will forget the classic Homeboys in Outerspace or The Secret Diary of Desmond Pheiffer?

what about that classic "Manimal"? who could forget that? what about Ralph Waite's "Mississippi"?, which i actually loved but it's time-slot was bad and i guess nobody wanted to see Mr. Walton living in a boat on the river solving crimes? Waite played a guy named Ben Walker. Larry Hagman would revive this concept in 1997 on the very short, short-lived drama "Staying Afloat". i saw some of the shows but it wasn't what i was thinking it would be. Hagman looked too much like Gavin MacLeod in that ship's captain attire and you couldn't keep a straight face no matter how you tried!
