Hi Honey, I'm Home

"Hi Honey, I'm Home" was an interesting member of the set of shows such as "You Can't Do That On Television" that characterized some of Nickelodeon's programming in the late 80's (or early 90's).

In retrospect, it seems as if this show, where 50's black-and-white T.V. and modern life meet, could have been the inspriation for concept of the 1998 film "Pleasantville."

Somewhat entertaining, moreso today. Now it serves as a pleasant look back to the earlier shows of Nickelodeon. Others of the era include the aforementioned "You Can't Do That On Television", "Today's Special", "Don't Just Sit There--Do Something!", "Belle and Sebastian", and "Pinwheel".

never do I roam, for there is nothing sweeter than to greet her, "Hi Honey, I'm Home." That was once our theme song, then a dream song, of a honeycomb..... This show was a cliche, yes. However, it was the cliche that was so endearing. It was nice to see a conservative TV comedy family living in the "real world," and the comedy that ensued worked on so many levels.

We were once a sitcom family, on the black and white TV, now we're off the air been pulled from there and dropped into reality....

For the record, it indeed did get syndication on Nickelodeon. In my region it played on the ABC network also. I believe the concept was ripped off to some extent in the movie "Pleasantville" (You know.. teaching 50's sitcom characters 90's morals).

Life was once much duller, before color, in a monochrome. Still, she gabs all day and spends my money, I find the situation funny, isn't life just so Re-runny? Hi Honey, I'm Home! Hi Honey I'm Home.

I looked forward to this show every week. Although it was a low budget series I thought it was well written and well acted. One of its actors has gone on to bigger things (Julie Benz). I wish they would at least show reruns of Hi Honey I'm Home.

I loved this show and wish it was still on the air!

The show ran on ABC as part of their TGIF lineup, and on Nick at Night way back in 1991. Only six episodes aired during the summer though, then the show was moved only to Nick. And a bit of trivia: "Honey" was the first show to be an "instant rerun." A new episode would air on ABC on Friday, and then that same episode would air again that Sunday. This was the first time a show aired on two networks at basically the same time. A recent example of this is the ABC show "Once and Again," which also airs later in the week on Lifetime.
