    	Yes, they were close friends in school, possibly neighbors.
    

    Yeah, they've known each other since childhood. Johnny keeps referring
    to her as his best friend. 

    
    lastnight's show was a take-off on the last years Wings.  Johnnie and
    sleeps w/this friends older sister - and they can't keep their hands
    off one another even thou they hate one another

    So, far the only thing I like is Ernest B. - he's steels the show every
    time his appears. :-)

    	I never saw that "Wings" episode, so it was both original AND
    	funny to me.
    

    the Wings episode, to me, was so funny ...especially when the
    house burned down around them literally....

    I must be going senile but I started watching this again and
    REally like it.....the blond guy with curlie hair is a RIOT!!
    they had Paula Abdul  on and they were both funny...
    
    I like this show whereas I didn't before when it first premiered
    
    anyone have an opinion the the more Recent episodes??????

    
    	I've always liked it, so I can't say much.
    
    	But he IS a riot.
    

> .....the blond guy with curlie hair is a RIOT!!

	I believe he's got red hair, you may want to get the colors on
	your TV adjusted .....

    
    He is blonde on my Tv too!
    
    

> He is blonde on my Tv too!

	You kids must all have cheaply made TV's :-)

	The other reason I say he has red hair is that in at least one
	episode at least one of the other characters refered to his hair
	as "red" (maybe the actor has "blonde" hair, but the character
	is supposed to have "red" hair :-)).

	Just to make sure, we are talking about the skinny guy with the
	curly hair (and a recessed hairline I believe) that is a recording
	studio tech.?  (vs. Jon himself, or Jeanenne's husband)

  This show is ok. It has it's moments.

  I find it the weakest of the 4 NBC comedies on Monday night and sometimes
I switch over and watch "This old house" on PBS or "I Dream of Genie" on
Nick at Night but sometimes I make it through.

  Must be some shuffle coming along. They've been plugging a new comedy
called something like "Boston Common" for the NBC lineup. It's not clear if
this will replace one of those shows, bump one of those to another night,
or move to another night itself.

    	You must have a really advanced TV, George, because mine
    	doesn't receive this show until Thursday.
    

> You must have a really advanced TV, George, because mine

	I was going to say the same thing, but my guess is George
	got confused because last Monday they had the night of
	a thousand laughs where they had six (6) NBC sitcoms
	running back to back from 8-11pm (though they were all
	reruns except for one show).

  Maybe I was thinking about Monday night football.

  Anyway, of the Thursday comedies it's the weakest bit it's still ok. The
other three are really good.

  George

    
    	So, does anyone besides me recognize the actress who plays
    	Charlie McCarthy?
    
    	Hint:  she was the main character in a horror movie about 6-7
    	years ago.

    NO  its not jeannene's husband.....the Blond guy married to
    the oriental? and She's funny Too...  
    they took the show off for 6 weeks to premier "Boston Common"
    another new show.....let it be known I am NoT happy about this..
    

    Does ANYONE know when THIS show will be back?  
    
    (Boston Common is alright but gets a little sickening after a
    while....)

  I think they said 6 weeks. Figure May sweeps.

  George

	FYI, this show returns (and in it's regular timeslot) this week
	with a new episode (also new episode of Friends, with Marlo Thomas
	guesting again, and a new hour-long Seinfeld, which also eats into CITC
	which hence won't be on this week).

	Plus Jon Silverman was supposed to be on the Tonight Show last week
	but got bumped (Newt Gingrich too much time with his animals), but
	after Leno apologied, Leno did mention that TSG has been renewed
	for next season.

    Hurray....its back this week....although I was starting to really
    get into Boston Common  I REALLY missed the Single Guy...
    I am glad its coming back.....(Does anyone know whats gonna happen
    to Boston Common?)   I'd rather see the Single Guy anyhow....Can't
    wait til thursday !!

	I just read in the newspaper today that had several quotes from
	Warren Littlefield (of NBC).  It seems TSG is not one of their
	stronger shows, but it will be back this Fall.  However like
	for some other shows that NBC has stolen from other networks for
	the new season, the show is being re-vamped a bit .....

	The major change is that as Warren put it, they are getting rid
	of the "boring couple".  Ie. the couple with the baby (ie. the
	character who is a childhood friend of the main character).  They
	will be written out of the story somehow.  And they are introducing
	some new friends or something and alot of activity will take place
	around some local hangout (possibly a pizza place).  Sounds like
	they may try to make it similiar to Friends "Central Perk"?

	In any case, NBC has already gotton rid of the boring couple as
	far as the Web page goes for TSG ......

    The husband in the "boring couple" was indeed a "bore", but I thought
    the wife (Janine I think is the character's name) was a great
    character.
    
    And I'd be embarrassed to tell you how long it took for me to realize
    that the same actress played the lesbian partner of Ross's ex-wife on
    friends.  I took me forever to notice that even though the shows
    are back-to-back.   Totally different character/look.
    
    	db

    
    	Her name is Jessica Hecht.
    
    	And although I knew she was on both shows, she showed up rather
    	infrequently on "Friends" so you might not have really paid her
    	too much attention when you did see her.
    
    	And I'll miss her, because I like her character.
    

    It's a start.  Now all they need to do in order to improve the show is
    get rid of:
    
    	the other couple (or at least him),
    	Ernest Borgnine
    	Jonathon Silverman

  I'd get rid of everyone but Ernest Borgnine, add Tim Conway, move the
characters to the South Pacific and have them making a living off an old PT
boat converted into a fishing boat while running various scams on the side. 

  George

    Hasn't that been done?
    
    ;-)
