Fortunately, none of you know who I am IRL, because . . . .
I liked Whoops! and The Charmings and Second Chance and Boys Will Be Boys.
And Caitlin O’Heaney (the first woman who played Snow White Charming) was an extremely attractive woman.
RexDart, according to the IMDb and TV Tome, you and I have both misspelled the name of one TV series. It’s “Woops!”, not “Whoops!”
I bought the DVD set just to watch the Series, as I knew I would never find it for rent locally. Snootchi Bootchies!!
Cop Rock?
There was a comedy on in 1985 or so about the President and his family (not the Fox George C. Scott series, Mr. President).
I am a big fan of early Fox TV Network. I got a guy to e-mail me a list of every show Fox had ever put out (through like 1997). There was much nostalgia in reading that list.
Anyone like Werewolf?
There should be a channel for crappy, short run comedies. They could also slip a few amazing shows that were pulled before their time (I’m thinking Freaks and Geeks and Undeclared. I think Baby Bob lasted longer than both. How is that possible?)
Mentioning Clerks: TAS reminded me, because on that show they made fun on more than one occasion of The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfeiffer. Lasted four weeks.
And on paper, it must’ve looked so good: “Hey, let’s make a sitcom about Abraham Lincoln set during the Civil War, from the perspective of his black butler! How can we lose?”
Sadly, I watched about 15 minutes of the pilot episode. It was horrible. I felt bad for the actors. They had a horrible script to work with.
The star, Kristin Chenowith, is an accomplished Broadway musical star, and she was just in the wrong type of show. Just sing and dance please, don’t tell jokes.
There was a great book called Bad TV which listed these.
I recall Pink Lady and Jeff.
Also, how long did Shields and Yarnell stay on?
Pink Lady & Jeff: 5 eps - The biggest problem with this show is not the fact that Pink Lady couldn’t speak English it’s that Jeff Altman sucks. Isn’t funny, never was, never will be.
Shields and Yarnell was a summer fill-in show and probably had no more than six eps.
Shields and Yarnell was a variety show, not a comedy. And it ran for more than six episodes. It had two runs on CBS. Once as a summer replacement in 1977 and again as midseason replacement in 1978. Five months overall.
Joanna Cassidy, of all people, had a part on the show.
Viva Variety! on Comedy Central. I don’t know how many episodes that was, but it sucked.
That’s My Bush! didn’t last too long either.
I remember Second Chance and Boys Will Be Boys! I watched them for Matthew Perry.
Best of the West-a horrible Western comedy.
Wife (sweeping): “I just can’t get the dirt off this floor”
Husband:“Honey, it’s a dirt floor!”
At 13 or so, I thought it was hilarious.
I never saw it, but didn’t Emeril Lagasse have a sitcom for a few days? Or did that never manage to get off the ground?
** fenris, creaky,** I have you beat on horrible 70s sitcoms. Try * Wait 'Til Your Father Gets Home,* a primetime cartoon starring Tom Bosley. Not impressed? I have * On the Rocks,* a sitcom about prison life.
I used to like this show that lasted for a few eposodes it was called " Stark raving mad" it was doogie howser playing an editor who worked with this really morbid horror writer. I thought it was pretty funny but alas it was not meant to be
I don’t remember Werewolf, but I did love Flying Blind.
Everybody rags on Stark Raving Mad, but I loved that show and was very disappointed when it was canceled. They didn’t give it a chance! Yet Just Shoot Me still limps painfully on.

Wasn’t that a Love, American Style segment first?
Sheri
There was a legendarily bad British comedy called “Heil Honey I’m Home”. Which had the Hitlers living next door to a Jewish family, with all the ensuing hilarity that you can imagine.
It didn’t last long.
Holy mackerel. A sitcom about prison life?? :eek: Okay, I concede!! 
(The cartoon show with Tom Bosley sounds totally cool. My dad is the spit and image of Tom Bosley; in fact, growing up, the neighborhood kids used to call him “Mr. C.” I’ll ask my father if he remembers the show. He was a HUGE “Happy Days” fan anyhow!)
