Angie

What went wrong? Debralee Scott, Donna Pescow, Robert Hays, awesome theme song. Too bad I was too young to truly appreciate the writing and character development. How about a reunion?

Many people don't know the reason why this excellent and popular sitcom was cancelled. It got top ten ratings when it was scheduled after "Happy Days" on Tuesday nights, when Laverne and Shirley was moved from that same time slot to Thursdays. By the end of the season, "Laverne and Shirley" was doing horribly in it's new Thursday night slot and was almost cancelled. So, ABC returned "Laverne and Shirley " to it's Tuesday night slot with great success. Only ABC moved "Angie" around to different nights where it lost it's ratings lead in and dropped to the bottom of the ratings and was cancelled. In 1985, 5 years after it's cancellation, ABC aired the show's re-runs at 10AM weekdays, and had great success. It later appeared in syndication. Proof this show deserved a chance.

...How about releasing "Angie": The Complete Series on DVD! All the episodes are just sitting there in your vault collecting dust! This series is fondly remembered by everyone I talk to about it. Judging by the other comments I think you could sell quite a few units and make a nice profit. Great writing,great cast including: Donna (Even Stevens) Pescow, Robert (Airplane) Hays and EMMY Winner Doris (Everybody Loves Raymond) Roberts set this show apart as one of the few sitcom gems of the 1970's. The show underwent sweeping changes in it's very short run however, the writing was always sharp and funny. A poor time slot and an uncertain network (ABC) lead to the series' early demise. I think if the show had been given a chance to find it's voice and audience it would have went on to have a long successful run.

It's the opening song about this show that gets me. A very well written sitcom, this show was, but laughs a few, really, like many other comedies of this type that still pulled you in,and had you. Regardless, I really enjoyed this show in my teens which really captured New York city cafe culture, with it's two assets, Pescow, no real oil painting, and 'Flying High' Hays, who deliver their acting chops, especially Pescow, who really brings it. I found her much more attractive in my young '80's' years, but the one I really liked was Deborah Lee Scott, as the kind of jealous, less successful sister who was always falling out with men, after falling out of bed with them. Scott had went on to do Police Academy 3, as the wife of the accident prone Fachler. Also the great Doris Roberts as Angie's mum, way before liking Raymond. There were many other, of these kind of late 70's sitcoms, Angie, being a slightly memorable one, though nothing to write home about. Yet again, it's the song that gets me. Good quality show.

From the moment Maureen MxGovern begins singing "Different Worlds" the Angie theme song I was hooked. The show which originally aired after "Happy Days" had spunk and a great ensemble case including Including Doris Roberts, Donna Pescow, Robert Hays and Debralee Scott.

It was a wonderful sitcom that hit the right spots with the audience and the cast chemistry was delightful. I especially loved Doris Roberts whose character was similar to her "Everybody Lives Raymond" character. Sadly CBS the network kept moving the series around the 2nd year which often kills a show. And it did just that. I suppose it is on some streaming channel today.
