What a bad show (maybe)

I remember when I was 17 this show debuting after a Cheers episode. The funny thing was that I had missed all the Nick Tortelli shows prior to seeing this, so I had no idea why Carla appeared in the beginning of the pilot to tell Nick to clean his act up in an odd dream sequence. Since I didn't see Nick or Loretta or their kids, I just thought they were vile and unfunny -- now when I watch the Nick episodes in "Cheers", they're all a scream. Maybe someday someone will re-air the episodes so I can watch it with the background intact.

Very funny

I agree with the first reviewer, this show was very funny with a cast that really could deliver the well-written scripts. It's a shame that the series was so short-lived .. so much so that I have found no trace of it anywhere (reruns, video, the Hollywood answer guys, ebay!). When I count all of the unfunny 'comedies' on the tube, it is still refreshing when something actually good makes it.

Honor Thy Mother...

... that's the title of a very funny season 9 episode of Cheers, featuring Carla's family. Should've just turned that into a spin off.

Trivia
After being asked repeatedly for a Cheers (1982) spin-off, the show's producers offered NBC two pitches: one by Ken Estin which involved the Tortelli family; and another by David Angell, which would have been a prequel series set in the 1950s featuring a younger version of Coach Ernie Pantusso during his playing days.
