Let's begin...
Dharma & Greg, ABC
IMDb; TV Tome
The first season, I was in love with this show and with Dharma. Oh yes, we do like Dharma. I'd make a point of having a cold bottle of raspberry soda (S&O'K, a Maine brand) while watching this, cuz I thought it tasted just like the show. I also loved Dharma's friend Jane, probably my favorite character and really cute. And Dharma's parents are cool, too, and so are Greg's parents, sort of. We like Kitty, too, and Abby's not bad at all. Anyway, um, what to say? Greg is this sort of normal, sane, lawyer guy who comes from money, with very formal, uptight parents. Dharma is a free spirit, with hippie parents. Very different people, and yet they fall in love and get married after their first date. It was a really fresh and cool and hilarious and delicious show, for the first season or two. But I hardly ever watched it in later seasons. Kind of went downhill, but still not bad.
I thought this show was pretty good, the first few seasons. Hardly ever watch it now. Anyway, it's a spin-off of Cheers, of course. Psychiatrist Frasier Crane moves back to his hometown of Seattle, where he gets a radio show, and his dad, Martin, a retired cop with a bad hip, moves in with him, along with his physical therapist Daphne. And we see alot of Frasier's brother Niles, who was married to a woman we never saw named Maris, but fell in love with Daphne, which he kept secret from her for several years, though everybody else seemed to know about it. I guess they eventually got married, sometime after Niles and Maris split up. And um, so like, Niles and Frasier are these bright, well-educated guys, both shrinks, very sort of snobby and stuff, appreciate the finer things in life, and everyone around them is just sort of more normal, or not so educated and high-class. Though of course everyone can be smart or wise in their own ways, and everyone can be stupid or foolish in their own ways. And um... oh yeah, and there's Roz, who is Frasier's radio producer. And um... I dunno, it's usually a comedy of errors or a comedy of manners, or something. I dunno. It's good, though. And we rather like Roz and Daphne.
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, NBC
DVD site; IMDb; Nick At Nite; official website; Retro Junk; The N; TV.com; Wikipedia
This of course starred real life rapper and actor Will Smith as fictional character Will Smith, who was from West Philadelphia, and went to live with his aunt and uncle and cousins in California. And um, y'know, hilarity ensued. What else to say? Great characters and cast, just a really funny show. Hilary was annoying but pretty. And Ashley was a good kid who grew up to be pretty cute, herself. Anyway... fun show. Yep, and um, I dunno what else to say. Jazz was funny. Geoffrey was funny. It was a good show, okay, everyone was funny. And stuff.
A terribly funny show, but a bit overrated. Well, people generally either overrate it or underrate it. I only watch it occasionally these days. We very much like Rachel and Phoebe. We don't mind Monica, unless we suddenly remember her being in that old Bruce Springsteen video, in which case we say to ourselves, "hey, why's Bruce dancing with that boy?" But of course, she was a girl, and she's not at all bad-looking, now that she's grown up; but still we don't like her as much as the other two female Friends. Anyway, I digress. What to say about the show? There are these 6 friends, 3 male and 3 female. And they live in New York. And um... they're very different sorts of people in a way, but all very funny and stuff. There isn't really much else to say.
The John Larroquette Show, NBC
IMDb; TV Tome
Set in a bus station in St. Louis. John Hemingway is a recovering alcoholic who's led a very wild life, which he actually remembers a little bit of. When he finally decides to sober up, he gets a job as the night shift manager of this bus station, where he meets all these strange people who also work there, and forms friendships, or at least various interesting sorts of relationships with each of them. It was a very clever, witty, funny, cool show with a great cast, great characters. We like Carly and we certainly like Catherine. Watching the show felt somewhere between a slight buzz and a mild hangover. Or something.
Malcolm in the Middle, FOX
FOX; Fox Home; IMDb; TV.com; Wikipedia
Well, I haven't always watched as much of this as I should have. But I suppose I've seen a fair amount. Can't think of much to say about it, it's just a family full of odd people or whatever. Their last name is never implicitly revealed, and that's a bit of a joke, I guess. Anyway, the title character, Malcolm, is a genius, though still just as twisted as the rest of his family. He talks to the audience in asides alot. His mom, Lois, is overbearing. His dad, Hal, is... sort of a worrier, I guess. His older brother Reese is sort of a dumb, psycho troublemaker and underachiever. The oldest brother, Francis, was a troublemaker himself, when younger. Then he got sent to military school. Later he was a foreman of a dude ranch run by a German couple, Otto and Gretchen. And he married a woman named Piama (who we like). Over the years he's actually had various jobs, or lack thereof. Malcolm's youngest brother, until recently, was Dewey. For the first few years of the show, he just basically seemed to live in his own little world, I guess. But eventually he started really getting involved in things. Um... he shows some signs of almost Malcolm-level talent, but doesn't get noticed much by his family. Hal and Lois eventually had another baby, Jamie. Of course, there are some non-family members, too, like Malcolm's friend Stevie, a fellow genius who's in a wheel chair and like asthmatic, and stuff; and this guy Craig who works with Lois at a drug store called Lucky Aide, and who has a crush on her. Anyway, it's a funny, twisted, dysfunctional show, and it's cool. And I dunno what else to say.
Murphy Brown, CBS
IMDb; TV Tome
Well this was a pretty good show. Bunch of reporters on news show "FYI." Murphy, Frank, Jim, Corky... and plenty of other good characters like Miles (FYI's executive producer) and Phil (owner of the bar where they hung out alot). We rather liked Murphy. Um, dunno what to say about this show. It was funny. It was pretty well written and acted and stuff. Um. Did I mention it was good? Oh yeah, and Eldin, I almost forgot Eldin. Which would just be wrong. He was painting Murphy's townhouse. A true artist, he was.... Yep, damn good show, alright....
3rd Rock from the Sun, NBC
IMDb; TV Tome
Well I didn't watch this much in the end, but it used to be a damn funny show. You've seen it, right? With the four aliens come to Earth to study humans and whatnot and blend into society, but they really don't get life on Earth very well. Dick, Tommy, Harry, Sally. And the humans who somehow loved them. Or something, I dunno. It was just silly and fun. Dunno what to say. I guess we kinda liked Sally.
