I always liked the Ropers on Three's Company. They were funny. Too bad their spin off was not a hit. But, their seasons of the show are my favorites. It was still good after they left, but it went a bit down hill.

There was a not particularly great sitcom on Fox in the 80's called DUET (or was it plural?). The leads were like watching ecru paint dry on a piece of sheetrock, but the secondary couple played by the marvelous Alison LaPlaca and Chris Lemmon (son of Jack) were fantastic.

At least, that's how I remember it.

Homer took over as the lead on "The Simpsons".

JJ/Walker on "Good Times". So much so, John Amos left.

Vinnie/Travolta on "Welcome Back Kotter"

To the credit of Cloris Leachman, the MTM Show broadcast 168 episodes and Phyllis was only in 34 of them.


If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

re: Duet - after oen season, they dumped the one couple, and kept Alison LaPlaca. It was retitled "Open House", concentrating on LaPlaca's real estate office. Her secretary was Ellen Degeneres.

There was a show in the early days of the WB Network called "Zooey, Duncan Jack and Jane" - a sort of hipster rip-off of "Friends'. After one season, they dumped three of the four leads, keeping only Selma Blair, and retitling it simply "Zooey".

A Different World" started as Lisa Bonet's spin-off of the Cosby Show. Soon, Bonet was gone, and Whitley and Dwayne became the focus of the show.
