Another fine example of Networks lack of patience during the 90s

This was a hilarious show. They had a basic plot and storyline and just let Bronson Pinchot loose, doing whatever that madman felt like doing. Unfortunately, like far too many very promising shows during this time, since it didn't show IMMEDIATE Neilson ratings success the Network cancelled it within its first month. A shame, this show could very easily have been continuing to run today if the execs had given it a chance to really be seen.

Triple P

Show with good potential, but was never given a chance

This had potential to be a classic 90s comedy show, however, it wasn't given enough time. I watched all the episodes that were out (there was only 3 in total I believe), and thought they were all really funny. It's a shame that Bronson Pinchot hasn't had much of a career since this show, because he truly was a funny guy. As good as it was, it didn't get the reaction Perfect Strangers did, so maybe that's why the network didn't give this much of a chance.

Too Bad

I get the idea behind the show and as a huge fan of Bronson Pinchot and his previous show Perfect Strangers I really wanted to love this show too. Unfortunately there was really nothing to it other than "let's point a camera at Bronson Pinchot and see what funny performance stuff he comes up with"... the premise of the show was that he got lost on an island and/or in a jungle and was raised by monkeys and now he suddenly returns to civilization and it's really wacky because he's a jungle man now. I don't mind the zany and thin premise but there just was not enough to build a show on here. It's unfortunate.

The worst of sitcom excess

I still remember seeing the premiere episode of this dreadful show. It was jaw-droppingly bad. Everything that could be done wrong WAS done wrong. Stiffly staged, WAY overacted, unfunny lines punched up to a ridiculous degree by a roaring laugh track that clearly didn't belong.

Remember the sitcom being made in Annie Hall? That was a work of art compared to this tripe. It shocks me to see others here posting positive comments, but I am heartened by the low rating users have overall given.

Bronson Pinchot deserved better. Heck, Pia Zadora would have deserved better.

Trivia
CBS gave the series an early start by premiering it in late August, three weeks after Pinchot's previous series Perfect Strangers (1986) finished its run on ABC. However, after poor reviews and bad ratings, the series was canceled after only three episodes before the official TV season it was to have been a part of had even begun. Only seven episodes were produced.

Quotes
Boyd Flatt: I can protect my family myself, thank you very much. I did take that class at the Y last summer.
Larry Burton: Yes, although most robbers aren't afraid of macaroni art.
