Am I the only one who loves this show? It is in my Top 5 shows of all time along with the Simpsons, Cheers, Friends and the Wonder Years. I was happy to see it back on TV Land, although it is on at 4:30AM here in California. That is one of the many reasons I am happy to have a DVR! Anyone else watching?

I've seen every episode multiple times. I recorded it daily for years. It was on TV Land a while back but I'm glad to here it's back now. DVR is now set! I think my favorite episode ever was the one where Helen discovered she was still married to Antonio and with Brian and Roy's help decides to fly to Mexico to get a quickie divorce. One of these days when I save some money, I'll start buying the DVD sets.

Haven't yet gotten around to buying the 4th season (a few other shows had to come first). The 5th season is due out in a couple of weeks. My favorite episodes are the one's with Joe's crazy stalker prom date! Joey Bear!

The slutty old lady with her dead husbands all named George. That and Joe's anal obsession with labellers and "The Binder." It was a remarkably nuanced series for its time. I loved it.

(veal chops!). "One minute we're spanking each other with meat and the next minute, it got weird!" I LOVED that scene when they were fighting in the hangar too!

Every time she came on the screen, I was waiting for her to call Orson "Joey Bear!" She plays crazy really well!

I still answer trivia questions with "Ann Margaret" whenever I don't know the answer. (very few people get the reference.) And I have to agree, Crazy Prom Date/Joey Bear had to be two of the best episodes. Another thing I love, is that Crystal Bernard plays an AWESOME drunk. There was one episode where Joe/Brian/Helen and the chopper chick got stranded in a cabin. Helen gets drunk and has some of the best lines as Brain and chopper chick fight. "You say potato and I'll have the rice." And, while looking at her hand, "Joe, I have no life line!" - to which he turns her hand over. I also use Antonio's "You're a hairy little monkey" line a lot.

I'd like to revisit the series via Netflix. Otherwise, what was the name of the ep with the flour fight? I don't recall that one.

She was Joe and Brian's desk clerk. Plus she probably had a lot of insurance payments from all those dead Georges! Helen also gave cello lessons! And she owned the lunch counter, she didn't just work there.

I always liked the episode towards the end of the series when Brian opened the martini bar. Drunk Helen had some great lines in that one. "There goes Princess Helen and her elphelant." LOL!

This is one of my fave sitcoms of all times, along with Home Improvement and a couple others. Tim Daly, Steven Weber and Crystal Bernard all had great timing and chemistry. Lowell was also a great character. Another good episode, where they hypnotize Roy and he says he has buried treasure but it turns out he needs a hole dug in his backyard for a hot tub I think. Hilarity ensues. A few episodes ago, drunk Helen made her debut when she was fighting with Carol, Brian's ex wife, Joe's ex g/f. Good stuff.
