Coach

I feel like their is shows that stand the test of time like a "I love Lucy", "All In the Family". However will "Coach" be remembered 15 even 25 years from now? In my opinion it should have consideration. Its was a well written show (for the most part) but most of all, it was the solid cast that kept the show strong for 8 out of the 10 years airing on ABC. Emmy's went to Craig T. Nelson, for his lead role as "Hayden Fox". also a well deserved Emmy Nod went to Jerry Van Dyke, who's very funny character as "Luther Van Damn. Im disappointed however, that its syndicated only at 5:00 and 6:00am. It was dropped fast from Nick @ Nite's prime time lineup in 2004 ,and i never understood why. Im still Anxiously awaiting the release of the show on DVD soon.

This is the only series of its kind. I believe that they targetted the older crowd. I may be 17 but I wouldn't miss it.

This show is a classic. In my opinion, its not quite as good as Seinfeld or Cheers, but its definately in the same place as the older episodes of Friends (Not anymore, the show is getting ridiculous and not funny..)and Wings. My favorite character is Dauber, the guy is just so dumb yet loveable and so is Luther and Hayden. The whole cast had great chemistry as did some of the supporting characters like Kelly's husband, Stewart. This was a great show and hopefully it will go to Nick-At-Nite, like I hear it will... Thanks..

Of all of the shows (Comedies) I have seen, Coach is the the most under-rated and one of the best I have seen. You have one hell of a comedic (and dramatic) actor Craig T. Nelson and when you put together him with a cast that includes Jerry Van Dyke you have success. It's a shame I got into this show after its initial run, but thank God for repeats or I would have missed the greatness this show has to offer. A+ ALL THE WAY

This isn't my favorite show of all time but it's one of those I never forgot. The reason this show works is cause of the ensemble cast. Especially Craig T. nelson and Jerry Van Dyke.

What makes this work is Craig T. Nelson. He's almost the "Archie Bunker" of the 90's...without the racial part. He's a Neanderthal type who thinks guys are the Kings and football guys rule all and women are all wrong. The fun part is, you get to see all his flaws. He's insecure and self conscious about his relationship with his girlfriend...basically he's like all guys. That's why this show works, cause he's like every guy.

With every show there's a "Barney Fife" type character and in this show it's no different. Here you find, Jerry van Dyke. You can thank casting for putting him in this role cause it was a role of a lifetime. He plays the absolute bumbling old assistant football coach who is clueless about almost everything and is nuts about Elvis. Again, a lot of guys are like this so it's easy to see why this show last for 8 years. For reference on his character, watch the "Sweeties Cereal" episode.

This show tries to show you the life of a football coach but it's really about a simple guy who happens to be a football coach who's a little outdated in his way of thinking. Trust me, watch this show and laugh. I always do.
