    Hit show but short lived

    The sitcom was initially the highest-rated new series of 1978-1979 TV series, appearing on schedule in January 1979 (tying with "Mork and Mindy" for that honor). However, unlike the Orsonian goofball, "Angie" was the victim of a massive revamp during its second season and a victim of constant schedule shuffling--moved from night to night, time slot to time slot, repeatedly for months, by ABC until viewers lost interest in searching for it, then abandoned the ship. The only rats here, however, were the ABC executives who, like all network suits, failed to realize the damage that instability does to a potential hit series with immediate high ratings, a lovable heroine, a cast of crazies and the audience. I truly miss this show one-quarter of a century later. Robin Fletcher

    Alice meets the bronz

    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.

    Cancelled to save Laverne and Shirley

    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. If you wanna help get this under-rated classic show released onto DVD, we gotta convince paramount to do it!!

    The Longest Theme Song Of Any Sitcom I Have Ever Seen

    This show had the longest theme song of any sitcom that I have ever seen!

    I remember watching this show every day. This show was as much a part of my childhood as most of the other sitcoms.

    The time I watched it was during the summer before I started fifth grade.

    The mother on this show is the same mother on Everybody Loves Raymond. She had brown hair back then!

    I don't remember much about this show.

    I just remember the extremely long theme song.

    I can't believe I actually heard a minister quote the lyrics to this theme song almost 20 years later.

    Donna Pescow & Tom Hayes were great in this TV series.

    Donna Pescow & Tom Hayes were great in this TV series, which I could not remember the name of for almost three decades. It was the first time I saw them and they seemed to work so well together. I watched the series regularly and when it was cancelled I was really bummed.

    I lost track of these two great actors until I saw Tom Hayes in the fabulous 'Airplane', one of my all-time favorites. I became an instant fan of Tom Hayes again, but I still missed seeing Donna Pescow.

    Donna was so cute, beautiful, sexy (in that innocent way) and yes lovable. Actually she was the spitting image of my high school sweetheart and the love of my life (an Italian beauty). I was watching Saturday Night Fever tonight and recognized Donna playing the character Annette. Finally, I was hopeful that through the credits I would see her name and let my sweetheart know the beauty I thought she looked like. The credits rolled by so quickly I missed her name! I found this site when I Googled 'Saturday Night Fever cast' and finally got to remember Donna Pescow and some of her other credits.

    After 34 years apart and without any contact, my high school Sweetheart and I found each other and have rekindled our romance. Four year later, finding Donna on this site borough a smile to my face and relieves a frustration I have had for many years. And now I won't forget 'Angie' again. Thank you.
