Sherman Oaks

This show should be brought back or SHOWTIME could do something really innovative and bring some of the characters back but on their current series like WEEDS and Californication. I made a comment awhile back about cable shows of the nineties set in Los Angeles: Larry Sanders Show Strip Mall Rude Awakening Beggars and Choosers but somehow I forgot to include this ultra hip comedy. It was sexy, clever yet very cheaply made. The same aesthetic and production budget levels as Reno 911. Where is Tane McClure? Damn! She was hot on this show. Peter Billingsley's character was quite a double-edged creation. Most of the time you would laugh at his character but occasionally you would have to laugh with him. Oh we'll, maybe someday a DVD release.

Two things. First - the maid was asian (I happened on an episode I had taped the other night), and second - the ultra-republican was Dr. Baker's nephew, not his son. I also would like to see the show return, it was very entertaining

I agree with Josh, this was indeed the best series SHOWTIME has ever had, this along with "TWISTED PUPPET THEATRE". These made great late-night T.V. shows, but now are long gone. I'm just wishing in the future they have a revival of the show, especially now days when SHOWTIME is dishing out crap like "QUEER AS FOLK". On the record Josh; the maid was Mexican, not Chinese.

I liked this show in the first season and I liked it even better the second.It basically took aim and fired at everyone. The father was semi helpless and kind of naive too. His wife was your typical rich wife stereotype,but still funny. His wannabe son was just stupid as was his daughter,but I understand that the show needed them. Now my favorite character was the ultra conservative nephew.He was put in as a joke on republicans,but I agreed with his politics anyways. Its really ashame Showtime took this show off the air.

BTW,in the first season the maid was a latina,but in the second she was Asian.

Sherman Oaks was really fun to watch. It's a riot to go back to my VHS tapes of the show and see Jason Behr in a role unlike any other he's had since!

Actually, there were 2 housekeepers. In the first season, she was Hispanic (I remember seeing her on Little House on the Prairie also) and in the season after that, the housekeeper was Oriental.

Showtime needs to release this on DVD!
