Sherman Oaks

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......

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 liked this show in the first season and I liked it even better the second.It basically took aim and fired at everyone. The father was semi helpless and kind of naive too. His wife was your typical rich wife stereotype,but still funny. His wannabe son was just stupid as was his daughter,but I understand that the show needed them. Now my favorite character was the ultra conservative nephew.He was put in as a joke on republicans,but I agreed with his politics anyways. Its really ashame Showtime took this show off the air.

BTW,in the first season the maid was a latina,but in the second she was Asian.

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

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.
