Does anybody remember the short-lived "Nearly Departed" back in 1989?? It was similiar to "Topper" and starred former Monty Python member Eric Idle as a pompous, stuck-up British professor and his sweet wife, played by Benson's Caroline McWilliams!! Now a days, they don't give shows that are great much of a chance to let them develop and find an audience. Sad but true!!

I remember that show. I thought it was great but it only lasted a few episodes.
