Gugny Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Thoughts about this show randomly popped into my head. I'd forgotten all about it. I think it was a great show and I don't think I've ever seen it mentioned in any of the "great sitcoms" discussions. In hindsight, I'd add it.
KD in CA Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Yeah, that was a really good show with a great cast. Sad that it had such a short run due to Phil Hartman's death. It's like the Gale Sayers of TV shows.
Cugalabanza Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Excellent show! I still can't believe it about Phil Hartman.
Corp000085 Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Excellent show! I still can't believe it about Phil Hartman. It's crazy that its been nearly 20 years since Phil Harman and Farley passed.
The Poojer Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 kevin nealon was on howard stern last week...he mentioned that from that famous SNL chippendales skit, only he and mike myers are alive...swayze, farley, jan hooks...all gone It's crazy that its been nearly 20 years since Phil Harman and Farley passed.

Gugny Posted December 18, 2014 Author Posted December 18, 2014 Jan Hooks is dead? Very. http://www.cnn.com/2014/10/09/showbiz/comedian-actress-jan-hooks-dies/
Just Jack Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Jan Hooks is dead? Yep... http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/171916-snl-jan-hooks-dead-at-57
KD in CA Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Jan Hooks is dead? The SNL McLaughlin Group take off with Hartman as Frank Sinatra and her as Sinead O'Conner is still one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
eball Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Entered the thread to agree about Newsradio, leaving it sad that I didn't know Jan Hooks had died. Funny gal.
DC Tom Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 Very. Well, that's a relief. It would really suck if she were only slightly dead.
Gugny Posted December 20, 2014 Author Posted December 20, 2014 Well, that's a relief. It would really suck if she were only slightly dead. You're not kidding. The last thing we need is another Dick Cheney.
Chef Jim Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 Well, that's a relief. It would really suck if she were only slightly dead. I heard she was feeling much better.
Captain Caveman Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) This made me think of this story Mike Myers tells of Lon Lovitz after Hartman was killed. https://www.yahoo.co...-231029135.html "Jon Lovitz is just one of the most naturally funny guys," said the spit-take loving comedian when asked who he thought was the funniest living human. The comic continued: "After Phil Hartman died (and Jon was very close to Phil), we went to the informal wake. I wandered around saying 'Can you believe Phil is dead? Can you believe he was shot with a gun?' And Jon said, 'Oh, come on, you’re making it sound worse than it was.'" Edited December 20, 2014 by Captain Caveman
