Not really, but it totally needs to be redecorated. Maybe when the Queer Eye crew comes to Sesame Street they can talk him into one of the new Rubbermaid split level or put on mirrors that open up some space (which Bert & Ernie have been suggesting he do for years).
That would be “Queer Ping-Pong Ball for the Straight Muppet” then?
I know we’re getting off the subject here, but I have to chime in here. Larry Manetti (who played Rick on “Magnum”) has a restaurant at the Plaza Casino here in Sin City–and on Sundays hosts a “celebrity brunch”. No word on whether any actual celebrities have shown up yet. 
:rolleyes: My sisters and I took my mom out to dinner tonight for her birthday, and she wanted to be home in time to watch the finale. She was just amazed that the three of us weren’t interested in staying to watch it with her.
She often calls me on Tuesdays to see if I’ve Raymond or Still Standing the night before, and is always disappointed that I haven’t. (I think I watched Raymond the first year or two and then gave up because it was just too insipid)
She kept raving about Still Standing, saying the family was just like mine and that I just had to watch it. I gave it a try a few times and was highly insulted. Okay, I’m a brunette and my husband’s kinda chubby, but the resemblence stops there - and I told her as much.
I though for sure it would be Married With Children. Or was that less than 5 years?
Eleven years and 262 episodes.
Oh, the humanity!
How dare you presume to respond to this. Only one person on earth is qualified to do so, and that is Art Vandelay, Architect.
To get a little further off subject, Larry Manetti is also Robert Conrad’s half-brother (though they barely know each other- Conrad was married by the time Manetti was in pre-school).
Actually, Meredith was the daughter of Nancy Whitney, whose professional name was Whitney Blake. Pointless trivia: David Birney’s brother Greg was a guidance counselor at my high school. I was in eighth grade during the season Bridget Loves Bernie was on the air.
Oslo Ostragoth and etmiller, if you are going to disparage my favorite sitcom of all time, you, I and my close friend, Mr. L. Slugger, are going to have to have a talk out back. Just a polite warning, Louie tends to hog the conversation. 
We’re on page four of a thread about the worst long running sit-coms ever and no mention of the abomination known as “Mama’s Family” has appeared?
Post #20. First page.
I swear I read the whole thread, but apparently I missed a post or two. 
It’s ok. “Mama’s Family” was so bad that even limited exposure to it via reading its name on this board can cause temporay blindness.
Well, at least Mama’s family had one redeeming moment.
There was one episode where Tim Conway was describing a siamese-twin elephants joined at the trunks. As he is so good at doing, he made the rest of the cast lose it during the performance.

It was when he said one sneezed, and it went, “Brzzp,” and it made the other’s eyes bug out. Guest star Dick Van Dyke fell off the couch laughing, and then Vicki Lawrence said something like, “Is that little shit finished?”
According to other members of the cast, it was even funnier because the script only called for him to say “Elephants?”
I’m pretty sure the conjoined-twin elephants bit was on one of the Mama sketches on The Carol Burnett Show, and not on Mama’s Family.
British comedy that has been running for over 30 years, and AFAIK has never been funny.
(Hey, Dad mentioned earlier as the longest running current sitcom… wasn’t. By the time it started, LOTSW had already been running for 13 years.)
