Hi Honey, I'm Home

I loved this show and wish it was still on the air!

At the end of my day On the Highway Never do I roam What on earth is sweeter Than to greet her Hi Honey I'm home

That was once our theme song Of a dream song In a monotone Still the small fry fell out When I yelled out Hi Honey I'm home

We were once a sitcom family On your Black and White TV Now we're off the air Been pulled from there And dropped into reality

Life was once much duller They put color In a monochrome Still she yaps all day And spends my money i find the situation funny Doesn't life seem so re runny? Hi Honey I'm Home Hi Honey I'm Home

AND for the record, the show did air on ABC NOT CBS!!!!!! At least thats what it says on my video tape. Also, the reason why the second season aired only on Nick was because the first three eps were a hit for ABC but the last 3 bombed.

This show was way to short in its run. I was never sure when it was on. But when I caught it I was in seventh heaven. I grew up with black and white TV and although color TV is the way to go. There was a simpler and sweeter mind set to the old TV shows. Even crime dramas back then had a depth and charm that seems to have been lost over the years. My favorite running gag was when a guest star from the "Sitcom World" would do a guest appearance. Someone would pick up the "Remote" and press 'the button' and everything would turn onto Black and White. Then everyone would let out a delighted sigh of pleasure. 'Color is just too colorful." It would always crack me up. Why isn't this show available on DVD?

"Hi Honey, I'm Home" was an interesting member of the set of shows such as "You Can't Do That On Television" that characterized some of Nickelodeon's programming in the late 80's (or early 90's).

In retrospect, it seems as if this show, where 50's black-and-white T.V. and modern life meet, could have been the inspriation for concept of the 1998 film "Pleasantville."

Somewhat entertaining, moreso today. Now it serves as a pleasant look back to the earlier shows of Nickelodeon. Others of the era include the aforementioned "You Can't Do That On Television", "Today's Special", "Don't Just Sit There--Do Something!", "Belle and Sebastian", and "Pinwheel".

The show ran on ABC as part of their TGIF lineup, and on Nick at Night way back in 1991. Only six episodes aired during the summer though, then the show was moved only to Nick. And a bit of trivia: "Honey" was the first show to be an "instant rerun." A new episode would air on ABC on Friday, and then that same episode would air again that Sunday. This was the first time a show aired on two networks at basically the same time. A recent example of this is the ABC show "Once and Again," which also airs later in the week on Lifetime.
