I liked this show. I was very bummed when it was cancelled. I liked the idea of the father/daughter relationship. I will always remember the episode where Cynthia's character Meg barricaded herself in that apartment until she got her wishes to rent it and be on her own. I also remember the Christmas episode with the Wheel of Brie. That was funny.
Just shoot me in the begining stole the premise of a daughter making it big in her father's business. Dabney Coleman is an underapreciated comic genius...just watch 9-5!!!
Never Jumped - never got the chance to jump. I think NBC might have only aired 8 episodes because they were too busy promoting the crap out of The Single Guy (which was the worst show ever) and trying to find quasi-hip "must-see-tv" premises for shows that they never realized that a show doesn't have to fit into a category to be funny. This should have been the show that Dabney Coleman got fat and grew old on - and the star of the show (Cynthia Gibson?) was great and her character should have been given a chance to develop. It was a realistic look at a young woman making her way in the world and how that would clash with her father who is obviously from another generation but still love her at the same time.
Stared Dabney Coleman. It was only the best sitcom ever. It was fresh, intelligent, and off the scale hilarious. Television this good could not go unpunished though. NBC cancelled it in less than one season.
