Day by Day

I thought this show was a little better than most late 80-early 90's sitcoms. I still prefer sitcoms from the 50, 60 & 70's but Linda Kelsey was good and Julia Louise-Dreyfuss is always a pleasure to watch. The oldest son Ross was a hoot. Classic episode- Ross watches a Brady Bunch marathon instead of studying and dreams himself into a Brady episode. Ironic since Christopher Daniel Barnes would play Greg in the Brady big screen movies! I have always enjoyed anything Brady! Day By Day should be rerun by somebody or at least made available on video. This is a show I would rather watch than a lot of the bland shows that they are putting out now.

The eighties brought a plethora of sitcoms. I remember Julia Louis-Dreyfuss before Seinfeld. Linda Kelsey was the heart and soul of the show. It was about a daycare center being run out of the Harper home. It had a delightful cast and mediocre sense of humor. It was a fine sitcom that only lasted two seasons. Linda Kelsey was the star of this show and never got another chance to really shine in her own right. Kelsey brought joy and a world of experience to this sitcom. It should have been a vehicle for Kelsey but Julia Louis-Dreyfus's end up having the last laugh. She played a serious lawyer who wasn't kid friendly.

Great 80's sitcom. Lifetime played reruns for awhile. It was about ex-stockbrokers who opened up a childcare center in their house, and everyone seemed to think that was just fine. For some reason, this quickie show sticks out in my mind because it was the among the first things Thora Birch of "American Beauty" did, as well as Julia-Louis Dreyfuss from "Seinfeld," who played Eileen on this show before she was Elaine on "Seinfeld." The best episode of this show was when Ross, the couch potato son dreamed he was on "The Brady Bunch," where all the Brady men did was get perms and "fix their bikes." Strangely enough, Christopher Barnes, who played Ross, went on to play Greg in "The Brady Bunch" movies.

I haven't actually seen the show since the 80's but I LOVED it. I remember Ross, the teenage boy, always wore a blue robe around the house. My favorite episode is the one where he watches the Brady Bunch marathon on tv and falls asleep, dreaming he is a Brady kid. I'd love to see this show in reruns.

I saw a rerun of this on TV Land. It was a reunion episode where, my favorite actress, Julia Louis-Dreyfus is the main character. This was her pre-Seinfeld show & I've got to say Seinfeld is better by a landslide. It's very corny, but if you're in the mood to relive the 80's, this is a good show. No wonder it only lasted two seasons.
