That's what I was thinking of -- Kate And Allie and Designing Women, mostly. But that's not a bad lineup surrounding it. I remember TEDDY Z, as well, though I didn't much like it at the time. Maybe I'd appreciate it now with the wisdom of age. Thanks, Senor Flinn! That’s what I was thinking of — Kate And Allie and Designing Women, mostly. But that’s not a bad lineup surrounding it.

(We were in high school; the premise was, a family takes in a hot Australian teen girl to help out around the house.) There was also "Heartland" right after that, a Brian Keith sitcom set on a Nebraska farm; it resonated with a lot of us in Arkansas. The only thing I vividly remember about it: There's a breakfast one morning and the son came down with bedhead, and the jokes about it were both fun at his expense and mocking every other show where people wake up looking glamorous. Good stuff. And there was a stretch in there when the night started off with “Live-In,” which was critically panned but beloved by every guy I knew at the time.

"The Famous Teddy Z" was Jon Cryer's first sitcom, he played a young talent agent. Alex Rocco played a great sleazy agent on that show.
