Members Mr. Vixen Posted February 27, 2011 Members Share Posted February 27, 2011 Since the show is returning into syndication on Hallmark, I thought it was time to start a thread! Any fans of the show here? Any specific reason? Here are my thoughts... I love the show! Obviously the first four seasons are probably the best, with the original cast. I loved Kristy McNichol, and I was very sad when she left. I didn't enjoy season 4 that much, as the "other sister" Emily got on my nerves. Thank God they canned her.....I did however love seasons 6 and 7 because Estelle Getty joined the cast. Park Overall was a comic genius and I still can't believe she never did more after the show ended. She is so FUNNY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted February 27, 2011 Members Share Posted February 27, 2011 I wasnt a fan of the show but if it came out on dvd...I'd purchase the dvd. The show was ok but it was no Golden Girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted February 27, 2011 Members Share Posted February 27, 2011 I loved this show along with Nurses As far as sisters go, I couldnt stand Carol. She bugged me. Barbera was my favorite sister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted February 27, 2011 Members Share Posted February 27, 2011 I watched some of it yesterday and liked it. Definitely not up there with The Golden Girls, but it was only the first season, so I'll keep watching whenever it comes on regularly. Park Overall was my favorite part of the whole show...I still don't understand why they dumped her after only a few episodes on "Reba." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted February 28, 2011 Members Share Posted February 28, 2011 I didn't remember that episode where Dorothy guest starred, her nephew dating Barbara. That show went through so many changes during the end, I mean, Estelle Getty, Marsha Warfield?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted February 28, 2011 Author Members Share Posted February 28, 2011 I love Park Overall! She is so funny. Empty Nest was definitely not the Golden Girls, but I do really like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Chamberlain Posted February 28, 2011 Members Share Posted February 28, 2011 I watched this show so much as a kid. I was borderline obsessed with it I think. (Between that one, Full House, and Perfect Strangers, I was obsessed with sitcoms in general) I remember being about 4 and my mom buying me a stuffed dog for some reason that looked like Dreyfuss. So, I named it that. Still have it to this day and had to have it setting by me when I watched the marathon yesterday. I felt like a kid again. So amazing! When I watching at a child I only remember Kristy McNichol in one season I watched. Well, actually 1 1/2 seasons (She left in the middle of season 5) But, it was a better show with her on it. The comedy kinda slipped when she left cause they couldn't play off Barbara's cop career anymore or the fights between her and Carol. So, it got kinda bland. On the subject of Laverne. OMG. She was hilarious. That accent. Those stories. It was so funny how she even mentioned that people were married to their cousins in her town. After watching as an adult for the first time yesterday. I can certainly say that I 'get' the show more now. I never noticed as a child how much sexual innuendo it had. Geez. And, Charley's like a living breathing Glen Quagmire. Right down to the hairstyle. Giggity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 28, 2011 Members Share Posted February 28, 2011 I loved the show when Dinah Manhoff and Kristy Macnichol were there. In many ways I enjoyed it more than GG because GG was lurching towards one-note status. But after Kristy left and they brought the other sister in I quit. The first episode she was in was my last.

Members Ryan Chamberlain Posted February 28, 2011 Members Share Posted February 28, 2011 As far as what I can remember of the episodes with Emily. She was boring. Very very boring. I think she was on around the time that ABC had Perfect Strangers airing on Saturday though. So, I only seen a few episodes with Lisa Rieffel (the chick that played her) anyways.

Members DRW50 Posted February 28, 2011 Members Share Posted February 28, 2011 I remember being very annoyed with her first episode and that was too much for me. I think it involved hijinks at a bar. I thought she was smug and unpleasant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Chamberlain Posted February 28, 2011 Members Share Posted February 28, 2011 Yes, I remember that one. I think I only watched that one and one other with her on it. She sucked! I just remembered while reading IMDb yesterday I missed the series finale. I had to have. Cause, I don't remember it and it aired 4/29/95. That was the weekend after my dad died and I was in Texas at my aunt's and she didn't have a TV (I'm dead serious...who didn't have a TV in the mid 90s besides her). Probably would have cheered me the eff up to have watched it that weekend. So, I know I missed it. I hope Hallmark airs it sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted March 2, 2011 Members Share Posted March 2, 2011 I loved Saturday nights in the early 90's! Golden Girls, Empty Nest, The Nurses, and Sisters... Oh, if only they'd release Sisters on DVD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted March 2, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 2, 2011 I wonder if they'll ever put Nurses into syndication. Hallmark should try to recapture the NBC Saturday Night spark Saturday Nights: 9 PM: Nurses 930 PM: Nurses 10 PM: Empty Nest 1030 PM: Empty Nest 11PM - 1AM: Golden Girls I know I'd watch!

Members SFK Posted March 2, 2011 Members Share Posted March 2, 2011 If other networks were airing Mama's Family, 227, and Amen in the hours leading up to it, that would be a lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted March 2, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 2, 2011 They need to can this Frasier idea. Go with 227, Mama's Family, Golden Girls, Empty Nest, Nurses, Who's the Boss, The Cosby Show. Keep Little House on the Prarie in the mornings. I think if they continue to strengthen up their syndicated programming, they could successfully launch some original stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
