Kirstie

Loved this show when it aired is it on dvd or has anyone got a copy. Thsnks

I was so looking forward to Kirstie's new show getting better, but sadly it has not. The extremely weak and juvenile story lines, the lackluster performance by the actor playing her son, mixed with the lack of chemistry between the cast just makes for a recipe destined to flop. The actors look very uncomfortable as if they've put on a pair of shoes that don't quite fit. The episode with John Travolta was... well, I don't know because all I was able to concentrate on during the entire show was the bad jet black shoe polish toupee he had on his head. The best episode was with Kathy Griffin who added the ONLY comedic element to the show since it first aired. Maybe the show should be called "Kathy"?!!!

Kirstie Alley plays a self absorbed Broadway actress named Madison Banks. Her son, Arlo, who she gave up decades ago comes to New York City and reunites with her. It sounds cliché but I'm actually enjoying it. Kirstie makes Maddie likable. Eric Petersen is perfectly cast as Arlo Barth, an awkward adult. The supporting cast is first rate with Rhea Perlman and Michael Richards. The Christmas episode was a hoot with Cloris Leachman as her mother. Arlo had a great relationship with his adoptive mother who was completely selfless and a second mother figure to his friends. Maddie tries to overcompensate for giving him up. Eric Peterson who plays Arlo does hold his own against his veteran costars. The John Travolta episode was ridiculous but all in good fun.

I've watched most of the episodes and have NOT found ANYTHING funny in this over the top pathetic attempt to revive washed-up has-been actor's careers.

I loved Cheers & Seinfeld and was intrigued by all these actors getting together to get us laughing, but that NEVER happened.

Even the music was terrible. And the laugh track was just ridiculous, who laughs and claps hysterically at these "jokes"? Not me.

The decision to cancel it is the best decision they ever could have made.

No star power or quest stars like Travolta or Griffin or Jason Alexander (btw that episode was cringe worthy) could save this sinking ship.

There are PLENTY of TERRIBLE shows on TV already...

One less won't make much of a difference, but at least it will not ruin my love for these actors in much better roles.

They're all in their 60's...maybe it's time to stop?

Or maybe their agents should be fired.

Another unfunny dud. Its like they purposely make awful sitcoms.

You kind of feel bad for Kramer. Post Seinfeld was lackluster. Its a trend for all actors who come from a top notch show like Steve Urkle and the saved by the bell roster.

Last Words: Nothing to see here.
