I know it's been a long time since "Hi Honey I'm Home" was on (even in re-runs), so I'm not surprised that a lot of people have written incorrect or conflicting info. I was a big fan, and have all the eps on tape. So anyway, here is the real deal:
1. It's "false trivia" about A.J. from the Back Street Boys playing Skunk. He apparently did play him in an unaired pilot, but a different actor played Skunk on all the aired episodes.
2. Although much like "Pleasantville", "Honey" was indeed first (by SEVEN years!) When I saw Pleasantville, I was like, "Oh my God, it's 'Honey' reversed and made into a movie!"
3. The show first played in the summer of '91 as part of ABC's TGIF lineup (not CBS), and was "instantly" rerun two days later (Sundays) on Nick at Nite. After six episodes, ABC did not pick it up for any more. However, Nick at Nite did produce 6-8 more episodes, which only ran on Nick at Nite. They reran them again and again and again before finally dropping it around 1994. I wonder where the characters were re-relocated?

The show ran on ABC as part of their TGIF lineup, and on Nick at Night way back in 1991. Only six episodes aired during the summer though, then the show was moved only to Nick. And a bit of trivia: "Honey" was the first show to be an "instant rerun." A new episode would air on ABC on Friday, and then that same episode would air again that Sunday. This was the first time a show aired on two networks at basically the same time. A recent example of this is the ABC show "Once and Again," which also airs later in the week on Lifetime.
At the end of my day On the Highway Never do I roam What on earth is sweeter Than to greet her Hi Honey I'm home
That was once our theme song Of a dream song In a monotone Still the small fry fell out When I yelled out Hi Honey I'm home
We were once a sitcom family On your Black and White TV Now we're off the air Been pulled from there And dropped into reality
Life was once much duller They put color In a monochrome Still she yaps all day And spends my money i find the situation funny Doesn't life seem so re runny? Hi Honey I'm Home Hi Honey I'm Home
AND for the record, the show did air on ABC NOT CBS!!!!!! At least thats what it says on my video tape. Also, the reason why the second season aired only on Nick was because the first three eps were a hit for ABC but the last 3 bombed.

"Hi Honey, I'm Home" was an interesting member of the set of shows such as "You Can't Do That On Television" that characterized some of Nickelodeon's programming in the late 80's (or early 90's).
In retrospect, it seems as if this show, where 50's black-and-white T.V. and modern life meet, could have been the inspriation for concept of the 1998 film "Pleasantville."
Somewhat entertaining, moreso today. Now it serves as a pleasant look back to the earlier shows of Nickelodeon. Others of the era include the aforementioned "You Can't Do That On Television", "Today's Special", "Don't Just Sit There--Do Something!", "Belle and Sebastian", and "Pinwheel".
