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

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!

I loved this show when it was on. A documentary filmmaker comes into the home of a plastic surgeon and his family living in Sherman Oaks, CA, tapes there every move, and I mean EVERY move....even the moves the family doesn't know he's filming. The doctor's wife, into yoga and all sorts of new age stuff, the slutty daughter who gets naked for anyone, the son who thinks hes black, and the other son, a HUGE Republican and a big dork at that. Then we have the, I think, Chinese maid who talks bad about the family behind their backs. I loved everything about this show, and I loved showtime so much at this point in time...I mean...you have Sherman Oaks and at the same time, you had that crazy puppet theatre show, whatever the exact name was. You couldn't lose with the series at this time. Well...I miss the show, and I think Showtime always takes the good shows off the air. One day I'm going to own my own premium network and bring back all these great shows......

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.
