Good & Evil

Very funny show---great cast----unfortunately prematurely canceled when some unduly sensitive people were offended. If it ever shows itself, see rich performances by Teri Garr, Mark Blankfield and Seth Green! If this show had premiered today, it would have stood well against comedies such as ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT. I believe Mark Blankfield's character's "visually challenged" antics would have met with contempt or "outrage"if viewed today.He simply, and comically, waves his blindness cane about with some hilarious consequences. In the same era, another extremely well cast comedy, "THE POWERS THAT BE", succumbed to studio neglect, placement of show with immense promise on a Saturday night schedule. If it is ever rerun, catch a suicidal, obsessive-compulsive congressman played by the great David Hyde Pierce.

Good & Evil was the funniest show since Soap was cancelled and I actually only really loved Soap for maybe the first 2 years then it went lame . Any how , Good & Evil was from the get go hiliarius .Teri Garr was the sexy yet funny character that made the entire show ! I loved the character George too , he was beyond funny !!! Seth Green was really great playing Garr's son and the entire cast all went perfect together . Good & Evil I heard was cancelled because of all the bad press they got from making fun of a blind man and a mute girl .I have nearly the entire show on video and watch it regularly and laugh until my sides hurt . I am telling all who read this if at all possible watch and laugh , seek it out because Good & Evil is like no other show ever ..... it rules and is the best comedy show ever !!!

I actually attended a taping of this new show before it ever aired. The audience received it well and I too was surprised when it was canceled. I think it had to do with scheduling. Not many people saw it. On the west coast it aired after 10 pm on a weeknight. I remember thinking it was great because it was so much like "Soap." I was upset when "Soap" was canceled too. A show completely before it's time. I'll be so glad when the fad of reality TV comes to an end and we see more situation comedies with good wacky characters. I've grown tired of seeing who can get there first, lose the most weight, or survive the longest. Let's see another Lucy, Edith, Phoebe, or Jessica Tate! Wouldn't a "Soap" reunion be great!? I think TV networks are selling out! They're saving money on having less writers and probably paying the reality "stars" less money.

As a South African, I saw this on M-Net's Open Time, Fridays at 18:30, so the one thing I am up on you lot of Americans: I saw the whole thing, nyaah! nyaah! nyaah! Now that was years ago, so filling in the blanks here on IMDb is not going to be my strong suit, and I won't even try, even though I'm pretty sure of some facts.

It's another one of those shows that I didn't really intend to watch, but I was monitoring (with my VCR on standby) the evening's menu, M-Net Premium Time began at 19:00. I made a point of watching when I saw that this one rose far, far above the level of junk spewed out in great gobs at us. Unfortunately, I didn't record a damn thing, because with a TV series, I insisted on having the whole thing, and this only became popular with me while it was on.

So I read here the review mentioning how that person have 5 episodes and pulls out the tape every now and then, and I yell FOOL at myself for missed opportunities.

People, appreciate what you have access to! Hold on to your favorites! I could do with this show right now on a cold winter's morning, a good rollicking laugh! Heed my words!

As for the negative response for that stupid reason, there wasn't anything mean-spirited there. Screw political correctness anyway.

Unavailable on DVD? Shops, you lose! Right now, I am in a mood to buy ten copies.

This series only ran for about six episodes if I remember correctly, but it was too far ahead of its time to be popular in 1991. Irreverent, zany, madcap, and hilarious, I imagined this series would last a lot longer than it did.

Teri Garr did an excellent job as the star, and Lane Davies (having recently been one of the popular members of the Days of Our Lives cast before starring in G&E) did a great job as well. With a talented supporting cast, this series should've had a much bigger following.

Lane Davies played a doctor experimenting with different potions, sometimes having a Jekyll & Hyde effect on him, and Teri Garr played the perfect love interest.

If you ever have the opportunity to watch this show, it deserves a second look.
