Short But Sweet - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Adamantium · 11-23-2002, 02:05 PM

What sitcoms from the 1980's and 90's do you think were "short but sweet"? They have to have been on for 2-3 seasons. 1 would be a One Year Wonder, and any more than 3 seasons would be an average sitcom.
My List:
-Get a Life (2 seasons)
-Ned and Stacey (2 seasons)
-Herman's Head (3 seasons)
-Bob (2 seasons)
-Working (2 seasons)
-Jesse (2 seasons)
-Nurses (3 seasons)
-The John Larroquette Show (3 seasons)

Nurses was good. I liked that show. NBC stuck it on Saturday nights and never gave it a chance

I can't believe I forgot to mention another great show.
-Just the Ten of Us (2 seasons)

It wasn't really "stuck" there. It had the Golden Girls and Empty Nest as lead-ins. I know there was another show, but I can't remember what it was...

Teen Angel from ABC's TGIF in 1997-1998. That show had some serious potential.
