Another one of the good shows that didn't make it.
GOOD & EVIL was a hillarious spoof-show of soap-operas and was basically about a good sister, a scientist, and her evil sister, a femme fatale-wannabe, fighting each other.
The good sister has a scientist friend, who has a crush on her, who happens to be blind (and keeps knocking stuff over) and a daughter who doesn't want to talk.
And to make thing sillier the evil sister has an ex-husband (played by South African "gods must be crazy" actor Marius Weyers) chasing her whom she pushed off Mount Everest and has been frozen for two years in the Himalayas.
Meanwhile their mother is having a new lover over who is obviously after her money and somewhere their mother's evil twin comes in.
Fun if you can catch it somewhere...

If you liked "Soap" you'll like this. It's about a crazy family with evil sister Denise Sandler (Teri Garr) and good sister Charlotte. It just involved Denise trying to get everything her way and will do anything to get it. Naturally they have some very unusual family members and friends.
This aired for only a few months in 1991. In fact it was the first new show that was cancelled! I never figured out why. It was funny, racy (for 1991) and kept pushing the envelope every chance it got. Garr was just great in her role--she was clearly relishing every moment she was on screen. Also it had a blind character (played by Mark Blankfield) who accidentally destroys a laboratory completely while trying to help Charlotte. That came under attack by a group for blind people but it was repeated again a week or two later! I have to admit I was in hysterics both times I saw it. He also accidentally kisses another man on the lips--pretty risky for 1991.
It was WAY ahead of its time and was probably too much for 1991 audiences. I think it would be a hit today. Where's the DVD release? I give this a 10.

This was sizing up to be the funniest series I have ever seen. It was cancelled without warning due to political correctness. What a shame the networks are so cowardly.
Good & Evil was the funniest show since Soap was cancelled and I actually only really loved Soap for maybe the first 2 years then it went lame . Any how , Good & Evil was from the get go hiliarius .Teri Garr was the sexy yet funny character that made the entire show ! I loved the character George too , he was beyond funny !!! Seth Green was really great playing Garr's son and the entire cast all went perfect together . Good & Evil I heard was cancelled because of all the bad press they got from making fun of a blind man and a mute girl .I have nearly the entire show on video and watch it regularly and laugh until my sides hurt . I am telling all who read this if at all possible watch and laugh , seek it out because Good & Evil is like no other show ever ..... it rules and is the best comedy show ever !!!
Being a Teri Garr fan, I was excited to hear of a show starring her. When I saw the first episode, I was immediately hooked. The humor is wacky, hilarious, and executed perfectly by the whole cast. If you liked "Soap," you will like this show as well. I'm pretty sure it was produced by the same people. It's sad that shows of this caliber are not kept by the networks. I don't know if it has ever been shown on any of the cable or satellite channels, but if it ever is, be sure to catch it. I guarantee you will get several good laughs. Only six episodes were ever aired. I don't know if more were made or not. I was able to get 5 of the 6 when they originally were shown, and every few years I pull the tape out and watch it again. Great stuff!
